Queenie ocean fun ( group 1 )
1. Ocean Fun I am Jason... Hi, Ocean Park...!!! By Group 1 : Chan Kam Hung Jason ( 3 ) *Group Leader Po Cheuk Yin Sam ( 17 ) Chan Wing Yan Vanessa ( 21 ) Wong Hoi Wing Queenie ( 31 )
10. Marine Land : Sea Jelly Spectacular Here are so many sea jellies just like a sea ‘garden’. We are amazed to see the limpid bodies of them. Chris told us that over 1,000 sea jellies of all sizes, shapes and colours from around the world can be found at Ocean Park! Are the photos beautiful? I took them!
11. Marine Land : Atoll Reef Step into the world beneath the ocean, without ever getting wet –is it impossible? Yes! Here, it exactly like looking under the water at the Atoll Reef. Sharks, Bowmouth Guitarfish, Eagle Ray, these sea creatures can all be found this place which is designed as a panoramic coral island. How marvelous it is! Designed as a panoramic coral island, the Atoll Reef spans four floors of aquariums and is home to around 2,000 fishes close to 250 species, including sharks, the Bowmouth Guitarfish (Rhinaancylostoma), Eagle Ray (Aetobatusnarinari), Cownose Ray (Rhinopterajavanica) and Black Spotted Sting Ray (Taeniuramelanospila), for which a second generation was successfully bred here at Ocean Park.
12. Headland Rides : The Dragon Oh, there is a ‘dragon’ in Ocean Park! Yes, trust your eyes, that is true. While you ride on it, I am sure you will scream loudly – because I DO! Close your eyes and enjoy the tour on The Dragon. ‘So excited!’ You must say that after you try. Here are some photos a visitor took them for us. I love the ‘dragon’!
13. Headland Rides : The Abyss Ahhh…!!! Why was I so scared that I was extremely quiet on The Abyss? Didn’t it fun? Maybe I have been too scared to yell. From 20 floors above ground level, it'll all feel like a dream . But beware, after the air rushes through your lungs, and you finally bounce to a halt, you may want to keep coming back! Remember, you must have a mental preparation to have a heart attack!
14. Feelings Wow! This time is really an unforgettable tour to Ocean Park. Though we did not want to leave that night, it was getting late and we were totally exhausted. There are lots of new things to see and do at Ocean Park. For example, Dolphin Encounter Programme, Sea Jelly Spectacular and The Dragon. Among them, I love the dolphins the most. I am still dreaming of their cute faces – how lovely they are? In addition, I receive a souvenir photo of me and my new dolphin buddy – Toto. That is an exciting and educational opportunity. After all, I enjoy this Ocean Park tour for my birthday with my friend, Chris. Next time I visit the Ocean Park, I must try more new activities – but never The Abyss!
