The Quetz Travel - Oean Park -Cable Ride/ Ocean Express Tram

Let's ride the Cable Car. OMG, although I love to travel and love aeroplanes I am afraid of heights and mostly theme Parks or city attraction has cable car it is always a struggle for me. This time I don't want to be the killjoy because we are here to celebrate Jaja's 7th birthday and have an adventure as a family. And I want them to feel good and condition them that is okay to ride it (wink).

The Ocean Park cable car transport you from the Waterfront and the summit and back, it is one of the options of transportation in Theme Park. It is also an attraction who visits this place as her you can see an aerial view of the bays and the surrounding islands.

Leading the way to the Cable Car

Take a pose before this ride

Aunt Kaye: Hello Geron (BF) we are about to ride the Cable car.

Just like a Kalesa back home Daddy Quetz as the Horse (hahaha!)

These poses are a way to condition my kids before we take the ride. The height and dropping of the stomach feeling while we are high on the ground due to gravity. Happy thought first(hahaha!). Just a reminder that this is a very popular ride and usually there is a long queue and the waits can be longer. Ideally, time to go here is early in the morning or later in the afternoon when crowds subside.

And here we are standing  and ready

                                                               Ready

                                                            Get Set

 Go

                   
   We are actually feeling the pressure here. Jaja is reacting now however for Memes still nothing.

 It is what they say spectacular view awaits you on the cable car. My trick and always works were to look straight so you will not feel the pressure. However,there is a chance that you will miss this beautiful view. So while you are young and able enjoy the ride whether it will be on a cable car or life.

Our view

Cable Car

My thought here almost there, so try to peek on the view.

 This is how you should look like after the ordeal that happened on the cable car. 

View on top of the Summit

Actually, it pours rain a little bit when we are here. So we hurry down as the weather is not sky clear.
Hoping to return to this place when my kids a lot bigger for them to enjoy and save the moments on their treasure box.

Jaja: look at me climbing the mountain! 

Memes: Look at me eat my fingers!

Dance time

There's another way to and fro the summit is through the Ocean Express Tram. The tram runs non stop during opening hours. It huge and with a capacity of approximately 5,000 people so very seldom it will have a queue like a cable car. Sometimes you have to wait for hours.
This has a nautical theme. It looks like a submarine if you notice from our picture mostly standing space and less seating options which is okay because this tram ride will last only for four minutes.
That's how fast it is. It is a wheelchair friendly, visitors can remain in their wheelchairs.
While we are on it, we felt we are in the submarine. We did have a submersible experience.
It has the same technology of the Victoria Peak Tram, travels on a 1.3-kilometre tunnel that was excavated through a mountain. The reason that you will not see a view, unlike the cable car ride.

That's how you go to the Ocean Park Summit. Whatever you choose still will give you a memorable experience.
This blog might not be quite updated as after many years will be able to post our experience however still worth a read. Moments like this are my trinkets.  Will see you all in the next blog.
