Tomorrowland at Disney HK

On normal circumstances, I would think Tomorrowland is not the favourite of the Disneyland park. But if you have a 5 year-old boy with you and his whole purpose is to meet his favourite Buzz Lightyear, then this park becomes extremely important.

So, ladies and gentlemen, this is Tomorrowland, where the whole theme of the park is for boys as the Fantasyland is for girls.

I think this Space Mountain roller coaster is probably the only ride that will raise a little eye brow for adults park goers. A friend told me that she was totally bored with Disneyland in Hong Kong because its so kiddo! Erhhh, darling, the Disneyland is for kids ... duh! So anyway, if you're gonna die of boredom, here a little lift you up ride.

The other quite fun ride is the Autopia. Its basically electric cars that goes around a circuit. Sounds kiddo but its like the most interesting and fun electric car circuit you'll ever experience, even for adults.


I mean look at the car, its so cool!
The Obitron is also kind of really cool. First they assign you to a flying saucer with a certain number. Of course I think the whole purpose is so that the people do not have to run and trample into each other in the attempt to choose a favourite 'flying saucer' the moment the gate is open. But for a 5 year-old boy, its totally amazing to him.


Then you get on your assigned flying saucer and be ready to ...

... circle around the planets! Totally cool! This picture is taken during the ride.



Finally, finally ... the ride that I've to take for 4 TIMES, yes 4 TIMES is none other than the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
OK, to start of with, my son's favourite cartoon character is not Mickey or Goofy or Pooh bear and definitely not any of the princesses. It's this space ranger called Buzz Lightyear.

Secondly, it is really quite a cool ride. I mean other than riding in a sort of train/car that moves around in the dark with space aliens and the sort, you actually are equipped with a laser gun to shoot the alien in the attempt to help Buzz Lightyear defeating the evil Emperor Zurg. And what's more, you will get points by shooting at the target range. OK, so Mommy sucks, but she's too busy taking photos or videos OK.

Couldn't help but took some video since we were in here 4 times.

And of course, what is more excited than for my son to meet Buzz Lightyear personally and have a photo taken with him. So, while my hubby is taking the ride with my son for the 2nd time, I queue up on behalf, so there you go ... he met up with Buzz Lightyear and shouted the tag line ... 'To Infinity and Beyond!"

One thing leads to another. From the ride to the greeting session to buying the toy ... Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas darling!
