One of the male Dolphin, Wen Wen (estimated to be 10 years old) dies yesterday while on its way to Marine Life Park Singapore. He is one of the 11 dolphins on the three-hour long flight from the Philippines heading to Singapore on Thursday and passed away on plane, one hour before reaching Singapore.

 

A Marine Life Park spokesperson said that there were two marine mammal veterinarians and eight marine mammal specialists accompanying and monitoring the dolphins. The dolphins were also given thorough medical examinations and were deemed healthy before the move.

 

According to the park, a necropsy was perform on the dead dolphin yesterday, with officials from Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority present.

 

This incident also provoked an outcry among animal lovers, who questioned the need for dolphins in the park for educational purposes.

This being the first post of the blog, thought it is just right for me to share why the blog exists in the first place.

I am from a country deemed as a little red dot in the world map (read Singapore) and like to visit theme parks (or amusement parks) a lot. Whenever I went overseas, theme park(s) will definitely be in the itinerary. So, I thought why not share out some useful theme parks related resources here for all the liked minded? Hence, the born of "Hot Theme Parks". 

Besides the official theme park related resources, wherever available, I will also include the following:

a. Resources on the deals/discounts (e.g. from Groupon, Deals etc...) available for the the theme park 

b. My personal review/experience of the theme park (if applicable). 

Hope you enjoy the blog and may you have a fun rides in the theme parks!
