How to Holiday in the Gold Coast Part 2

This entry was posted on Jul 14 2009

Waiting in line at Movieworld, and we’ve just done the Superman Escape. Undoubtedly the best ride we have been on! And pretty fickle too – the ride closed after about an hour into the day to deal with “electrical faults”.

Some photos:

The best ride ever! Superman Escape, 0-100 km/h in 2 seconds. Now that’s fast.

Moreton Bay Bug – it’s pretty tasty, and looks like a crayfish with no legs.

Other highlights from our theme park triapsing:

  • After getting back from Dreamworld last night, we promptly went to Timezone for a night of arcades. For 12 hours we were just like kids at the sweet shop: going all out on laserstrike, unlimited arcade games, winning prizes, intense roller coasters, and more!
  • The “I’m going to camp and I’m bringing…” game is equally useful when waiting in long ride queues.
  • Some unforeseen health issues from the trip included hoarse voices (from screaming too much), sore quads (from squatting around during laser strike), and sore feet from walking and queuing for hours
  • Waiting in line for an hour to ride the Lethal Weapon is a great practical test of whether you have the fruit of the Spirit (in the form of patience…)

We’re off to have some dinner, and putting photos on Facebook soon. Do wrap up warm everyone!
