I prefer Ocean Park because I think it's bigger and more interesting. I went to Disneyland last September and thought it was childish. Maybe children would like it more, but the performances at Disney were pretty good.

The two parks have different attractions. I went to Disneyland on the opening day and it was fun. But there were too many people and I had to queue for ages. The most impressive thing was the fireworks display at night. It was beautiful.

I haven't been to Disneyland yet. I don't really want to go because I've heard it's boring. I think the rides at Ocean Park are more exciting, especially the roller coaster. It's thrilling!

I think Ocean Park is better than Disney. Hong Kong Disneyland is too small. I've been to Disneyland in Tokyo. It's much bigger and much more fun. And I think most of the rides at Hong Kong Disneyland are for small children. I'm not very interested in them.
