gforce1994 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Compared to 1960s Disneyland, is this park actually bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 ^I don't know--maybe. I'm not sure how it compares to Disneyland in the 1950s and 1960s in terms of attractions. Â As I said, it is a growing, developing park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
better_by_design Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the memories! Â I was fortunate to visit Ocean Park and HKDL a few years ago, and this rekindled my hopes of getting to both again soon to visit the (many) new attractions they've both built since then. Â Gotta love some competition resulting in major investments between two beautiful parks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mush619 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I spent a couple days home this week with my daughter who is sick and was able to read though this whole TR. And what a great TR it is! Very amusing with great photos. It was so neat to see all the crazy Chinese parks and coasters. Ocean Park looks pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing all of it!

rockysam382 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I visited HKDL recently and despite the new additions, I still find it to be several grades below Tokyo Disneyland? And it still is a half day park to me? Â They really do need to add a Downtown Disney-esque area soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 ^^I'm glad you enjoyed it--thank you. Â ^The only park that's better than Tokyo Disneyland is DisneySea. And I'd still rather visit Hong Kong Disney than Paris Disney. I agree that some sort of "Downtown Disney" is in order for HKD. Maybe one of these days.

rockysam382 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes I visited Paris Disney a couple of years back and the whole place was a dump? Operations were horrible beyond belief as well? Â DisneySea was probably the singular most magical experience in my entire life so far? I spent 2 days there and still did not manage to cover everything?

cfc Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 ^^Er, do you not know the answer to any of the "questions" you just posed? Did you or did you not visit DLP a few years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockysam382 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 My bad. Yes I did in fact visit DLP a few years back. Sorry if it sounded like I was asking questions because I've this habit of putting question marks at the end of sentences all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 ^No worries. Â I did enjoy myself at DLP, but it does feel "off" when compared to other Disney parks--mainly due to the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockysam382 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah what a pity because the whole place has the potential to be a lot better if the right people were running it? Â Oh and before it slips my mind, thanks for the awesome trip report! Easily the best I've seen in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koenzie Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for the great TR, you gave me a lot of fun breaks at the office And you brought back al the great memories I have of HKDL and OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 My thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed this TR. I'm pretty sure it's the longest one I've ever attempted, but I'm also a bit sad that it's finished--I always like reliving TPR Trips after I get back.

David H Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well, in a week or so, I'll be up to China on my own PTR! So, you can start all over again, reliving the memories!

cfc Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 ^And thank you for reading. Some of the Chinese coasters made my top ten in the Hawker poll (the two Mega-Lites, Wood Coaster at Knight Valley, and Dauling Dragon at Happy Valley Wuhan).
