Ocean Park-ing

So the BF celebrated his birthday yesterday and as a gift I surprised him to a day of being a kid. Yes indeedy to Ocean Park we go! And the fun part, on my side, is that because it is his birthday we don't need to pay for this entrance fee plus I get 50% discount. Score!!! Yes he thought it was very smart of me to gift him something that is already free. Haha I am notorious for being ultra thrifty when it comes to giving gifts that is why no one wants me to get their names when we do Christmas Santas. Oh well... going back to Ocean Park, it has been about 5 years or so since I last went there so there were a lot of changes. But first of, here's a few facts to know about Ocean Park: 

• It is divided into 2 parts, The Waterfront  and The Summit.
• The Summit is up in the mountains. So you need to take either a Cable Car or Express Train to get their from The Waterfront.
• The Waterfront is where all the kiddie rides and activities are. 
• The Summit is where the extreme rides are, in short, for Adults only. LOL 

We started in The Waterfront, went into all the museums, aquariums and ate infront of the Fountain, which is new by the way and also hold a water/light show in the evening called Symbio but we weren't able to watch that so I'm sorry I cannot give you further details. 

We wanted to take the Express Train (new) to go up The Summit but unfortunately it was under renovation so we took the old school way, Cable Car. 

In the Summit is where he went absolutely nuts! There were a few new rides from when we last visited so he wanted to ride all of them which is fine by me just as long as he keeps me out of it. 

*Fun Fact: I do not ride rides.* LOL 

Because he knows that I will not, in a million years, ride with him so he said we should visit all the less frisky rides and attractions. He said it was for me but I honestly think he was just summoning up some courage to ride the Hair Raiser rollercoaster. Hihi

We didn't ride any of the old, mainstream ones like Raging River, Space Wheel, Mine Train, Crazy Galleon. But there was a new water ride called, The Rapids. Everyone was preparing their raincoats and towels which is crazy because seriously it's a water ride and you don't want to get wet?! But anyway to our dismay we were only slightly wet and it wasn't really exciting so... BOO! 

After going to a few attractions he suddenly blurted out "Okay I'm going to take Hair Raiser!" and he came out of there with a biggest grin I've seen in him. It was so cute. 

However there was one ride that he couldn't get the nerve to ride, The Flash. Maybe because he'd have to do it alone. Oh well, there's a next time... 

To sum up our Ocean Park experience it was absolutely Amaze-Balls! Despite the fogs, strong winds and slight showers I can really say we had a really fun time there. So do try it out and please watch the Symbio show and ride The Flash and let me know your experience with them.
