Gold Coast Trip May 07 (Day 3)

Day 3 - Movie World

Warner Bros. Movie World - a theme park full of familiar cartoon characters and thrill rides! Definitely the best theme park out of the 5 in Gold Coast (including 2 water theme parks which we din go to during this trip), thus the more lengthy post and also many more interesting photos! Haha..

First time to the parks for Haz, Max and Eug. Both Chris and I had visited the park like 10 years ago. Nothing much had changed other than a couple of new rides and Shrek 4D movie...

First ride for the day: NEW! Superman ESCAPE ride - Southern Hemisphere #1 rollercoaster; 0 - 100km/h in just 2 seconds ~ SUPERMAN fast!
As we were one of the first to enter the park, we went for the Superman ride first (under the encouragement of Eug), even before seeing how the ride is gg to be. We were already inside waiting for our turns when the 1st ride started. Haz is the only one who sat out as such ride is not her cup of tea. It turned out to be a good thing that we did not see how the ride is like as Eug and I may think twice even before suggesting to go onto this ride.

Thrilling ride it is; freakingly fast! U have to experience it to understand. Rated 6-stars among all the other rides. Try it!

Other rides we attempted include the Wild West Falls Adventure Ride and Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster. We also watched the Police Academy Stunt Show, Dreamworks Shrek 4D Adventure and also the much awaited Street Parade of all the Warner Bros cartoon characters! A picture speaks a thousand words and presenting you all the nice photos taken!

Street Parade - cool


Special mention: Max Tay! Garang boy who attempted the Lethal Weapon and the Batwing Spaceshot alone... Haha.. No one is brave/well enough to accompany him on the day itself.. Haha.. And he gamely attempted them and getting his admission tix worth! Proof of his garang adventure...

We finished most of the rides before 4pm and made our exit.
Tips:
1) Go on weekdays
2) Check out the upgrade deals. Upgrade e tix to Seaworld for $41 instead of buying it at Seaworld at $64 (or $54 with entertainment book) - Valid for us becoz it is part of the Summer Deal. Check ya..
Next park: Seaworld - to be continued...
