Gold Coast Trip May 07 (Day 4)

Day 4 - Sea World
Another Warner Bros. theme park. Sea World, a theme park showcasing sea animals and rides that make u wet...

Relatively small one with less exciting stuff to do. Had changed little from the last time I visited; the only new attraction is the Sea World Eye - Australia's 1st Giant Observation Wheel. Nothing spectacular actually - more like a giant ferris wheel. =)

We started early at 945am (opens at 10am) and did a slow and leisure tour of the theme park.

The main attractions are the shows which include

1) the Dolphin show which educate the public how dolphins are being threatened by irresponsible acts of human. Great show with a moving message to all.

2) Quest for the Golden Seals (cut short due to closure of the seal stadium)

3) Waterski Wipeout (watersking tricks with comedic twist)

4) Planet SOS in 4D
The other blog-worthy attractions are the Shark Bay and the Polar Bear Shores. Definitely not a fun filled theme park in my opinion. There are thrill rides though in the park like the Corkscrew (rollercoaster), Pirate Ship, Bermuda Triangle ride, etc. We din try as we had tried the best and more thrilling in Superman ya... haha..

We ended our tour of this park earlier than expected once again; around 330pm and headed back our serviced apartment to rest.

For dinner, we headed to Surfers' Paradise for Jap food, similar cusine to our dinner the previous night at Broadbeach. We do like Jap food. Haha.. After dinner, we headed for the arcade centre @ Centro (Timezone). A picture that shows that 27-year-olds can be young at heart too... Haha...


Dream World tomorrow... to be continued...
