Ocean Park reform, many mobile games belonging to everyone's childhood memories will face the fate of being demolished one after another.

Among them, the "Quiet Mine Speed ​​Car" became a group selected for the first phase of the demolition of the era under the reform, and was officially retired at the end of this month together with the "Speed ​​Journey" (ie, the "jumping machine") and the "Surfing Spacecraft", becoming a collective of everyone Memories.


Regarding the amusement facilities in Ocean Park, it seems that the description of "a cock dies and a cock crows" is the most appropriate.

Because, just as everyone is eagerly waiting for the water park that will officially open on September 21, the 37-year-old "Surfing Spaceship" will be written into history at the end of this month.

It was a rare motor game suitable for all ages in the early park, so that the tourists who were in the same boat were soaked.

It is commonly seen in TV series and movie plots from the 80s to 90s, making this mobile game more classic.

Li Haoxian, the regional manager of the park, lamented: "To build a new infrastructure for the water park and create new collective memories, it may be necessary to sacrifice part of the existing collective memories."

Perhaps there are few tourists who visit the Ocean Park for the purpose of surfing the spacecraft.

However, this game facility, which was introduced to Ocean Park in 1984, has long been a collective memory of everyone.

A few years ago, the situational drama "Kara House" rebroadcasted on TVB late at night, almost all of the opening theme song was shot in Ocean Park. These ropes, etc., were all the amusement facilities of the first-generation Ocean Park. The artist Zheng Jingji and others were sitting there. It is the surfing spacecraft. In addition, many movies of the 80s and 90s, the surfing spacecraft also made cameo appearances.

Shi Guoji, manager of the mobile game maintenance department, said that the structure of the windsurfing spacecraft is relatively simple, but because the parts are immersed in water for a long time, it is easier to deteriorate and rust. In winter, the entire amusement facility needs to be shut down and all the water is removed for regular maintenance. The maintenance cost may be relatively high, but the overall operation is normal and ideal. He lamented that although this mobile game is relatively old, it can still be played on the whole, and the "body" is still very healthy.

Compared to the newer mobile games, the surfing spacecraft is slightly less exciting.

Tourists mainly sit on small boats, slowly climb high points with them, and then drift along the waterways of Jiuqu 13 Bay, fast and slowly.

Finally, the boat enters a dark cave, and the moment it exits the cave, the boat will dive down a slide about 10 meters high, and the one sitting in the front will be splashed with water.

The whole journey takes about 3 minutes, which is quite exciting for an amusement facility built in the 1980s.

Li Haoxian, who took care of the surfing spacecraft, described it as a middle-aged man with experience.

Because tourists get on the boat, the surface seems calm, everyone can chat and laugh on the boat, there are many undercurrents along the way, and the most exciting moment is ushered in at the end.

However, slowly, the windsurfing spacecraft has become the supporting role of the Ocean Park. In many cases, it is because there are too many people queuing in the ore speeding car, so tourists first play the surfing spacecraft to kill time.

The two staff members repeated from time to time that in order to cope with the future development of the park, the closure of the windsurfing spacecraft, the speed tour and the over-mine speed car may be in line with the overall development process, but Li Ho-yin also hopes that these will accompany the port. The amusement facilities where people grow up can let everyone play and feel it again before officially saying goodbye to everyone, because "they really existed, not just in the photos."
