May 12/13 Seaworld and Wet n Wild - by Mr C and Mr L





Hi it’s us Mr L and Mr C, this our second part of the blog.
Seaworld was the second best theme park – Wet n Wild was best.  The things we liked most about Seaworld were; feeding the rays, viking revenge flume ride, the learning about things that belong in the sea and the battle boats.

Ray Reef
At Ray Reef we got to feed Rays, they felt slimeeee!  It was fun!!!


Penguin Point
Penguin point was brilliant we got to see really cute teeny weeny fairy penguins swimming in their own pool.  It was so cool to look at.

Seal Harbour
At Seal harbour we got to see seals as they leaped up into the air.  It was fun.

Shark Bay
Shark bay was a large lagoon that you could see from the top and from underwater.  At one time a shark was swimming straight towards – we could see its fin.  But when we looked under the water we saw turtles, fish, rays and of course sharks, even their faces.


The AWESOME Viking Revenge Flume
You got in a pretend viking boat, you went around and up a pretend castle, then you have to hold on to some bars in the boat then WOOOOOSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!  You go down a really steep slope and then SPLASHSHSHSHSHSH into the water and you get splashed in the face with a giant bullet of water and that was sooooo AWESOME.  It was so fun we did it 6 times.


Jet Stunt Extreme Show
We went to the Jet Stunt Extreme Show and it was EEEPPPIIIICCC!!!!!  We were sitting on seats in front of a huge pool the size of a billabong.  The huge pool had steep ramps which our mum thought water skiers would use.  But the jetskis did instead and it was awesome.  The jetskiers jumped high, did great tricks, had races and there was a guy with a water jetpack which could empty a swimming pool in 5 minutes it used so much water.  There were also two guys with super powerful jet skis who had stunt off competition.  There was a trick at the end with two boats that made a huge wave that the jetskiers used to do triple 360 flips.  This show was AWEMAZING!!!!!!


Affinity Dolphin Show
We learnt that people can train dolphins to do tricks and they earned fish for doing them.  At the show they leapt out of the water and did triple 360 flips.  The dolphins knew what tricks to do because the people had taught the dophins sign language.  We thing dolphins have a magnificent brain and THEY ROCK!!!!!!! 


Castaway Bay – Battle Boats
You went on these big boats with water cannons that you had to pump to make them shoot water.  You had to shoot water at enemies on the shore who also had water cannons and they had protection behind walls.  The boats went on an underwater track so it looked like they were sailing.  The first time the whole family went on a battle boat and we got totally soaked (although the lady said we wouldn’t get that wet).  Then Mum and Dad went onto the shore and Mr L and Mr C went on a battle boat and went around twice. We had great battles and sprayed everybody in the face.  At the end we were dripping so we had to use a human dryer which got rid of some of the water, but we were all still wet when we got back to the car.

Castaway Bay  - Sky Fortress
There was this thing called a Sky Fortress.  It was EPIC.  The Sky Fortress is a great activity at Seaworld which was next to the battle boats.  It came up to the top of the sky with a great view of the whole gold coast.  There were all these ropes that you can climb all over and it was great fun.  There were 8 points and we found them all.  It was excellently great!!!!


Wet n Wild
Part 3 of our blog is on Wet n Wild – there are no photos because it was soaking wet.  Wet n Wild was the best of all theme parks.  This is because we watched Dad go down the Aqua Tube – on the first part you just fall and you can get up to 70 kilometres per hour.  It looked totally freaky but awesome.  Some people got to the top of the ride and then had a check out and didn’t do it. 
We had a great time and the best ride was Mammoth Falls where the whole family rode on a raft down a huge waterslide.  We did it four times – everytime someone had to go backwards on the raft.  We also liked the 8 sliding competition we did it three times and we each won a race.  The wave pool was awesome but we all really enjoyed soaking in the hot tubs.

May 8 Movie World - by Mr L and Mr C





Hello, its Mr L and Mr C here and this is our part of the blog.  We are going to tell you about what we did at Movie World, Sea World and Wet n Wild.

So at Movie World the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster was totally freaky, it went backwards, down and you were in pitch blackness and you felt like you would fall off.  There was one bit where you felt like you were going to crash into a monster and inside you heard Scooby and Shaggy and saw Scooby Doo.  It was really fun, but really scary, we only did this once.


The Hollywood Stunt Driver Show was awesome.  The cars did super cool tricks and a fake building caught on fire.  Rio in 4D was cool, we had 3D glasses, you got splashed by water, there was air blowing in your face and the seats moved - it was super fun!


Junior Driving School was ok but it was better for younger kids.  We still had fun though.  The Road Runner Roller Coaster didn’t go too fast, I (Mr C) screamed to be like everyone else.  We heard lots of people scream.  It was a short ride so I did it again.  It was pretty cool.

Dad went on some rides that were toooooooo scary for us.  First he went on the Wild West Falls Adventure Ride – it was steep and looked really freaky.  It was like riding in an old log along a river and then down a big waterfall – Dad got wet by a big splash at the end.  Then he went on the Arkham Asylum ride, it looked like Dad was hooked in by his head and he went round and round and up and down all super fast.  At one point Dad was upside down – it looked really really really really scary.  We might have to be a lot older before we go on that one.


 All the super heroes and all the stars of Warner Brothers Movie World have a giant parade in the Main St.  Most of them come in cars or on floats.  Joker pointed at us with a super angry glare, we glared and pointed back at him. 


Mr L got to high five Green Lantern and we saw Batman fight and defeat some bad ninjas.


The Justice League 3D Ride was the best in all the rides that we went on!!!  We got to wear 3D glasses and shoot aliens for the Justice League.  We had messages from Justice League members telling us what to do and we had a boss battle with the supreme villain.  We hopped in cars with 4 people with awesome high tech laser guns and then Batman and Cyborg teleported us into the battle.  Then we had to shoot aliens, even ones that were on people’s faces or chests.  We also had to save Superman who had been taken over by an alien.  We liked this so much we did it six times – until it was time to leave Movie World.  THIS RIDE IS TOTALLY EPIC AWESOME!

Effects designed by Mr C and Mr L

This theme park was grea,t we rate 1000/10.  If you are in the Gold Coast - Movie World is a must.  Till next time Mr L and Mr C.


Parent Notes - Some tips for going to Movie World

  • Try and get a deal and book on line - this saves you money and once you have your multi park pass you skip the entrance queues.
  • Off peak is sensational - what queues?, but not all rides are open (we didn't have two of the big ones operating but it didn't matter)
  • Take water, snacks and food as everything is expensive.
  • Get a map (we didn't have one for Movie World and it would have helped).
