Day 81-85 Gold Coast

Everyone was very excited about going to the "Worlds". We spent 5 nights on the Gold Coast and went to Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild.

Liv's (and Dad's) favourite ride was Superman Escape at Movie World - which goes from 0-100kmh in 2 seconds and shoots up and over some really big hills with a g-force of 4.2. It's definitely the scariest ride at Movie World (although Arkham Asylum was also pretty good).

Will's favourite ride was the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster. There were lots of monsters and scary noises at the start but they weren't actually real. It was scary when it went backwards and down the big dip!

Henry's favourite ride was Batwing which shot straight up really fast 70 metres into the air and then dropped straight back down to the ground. It took a while for Henry to summon up enough courage to go on the ride but when he finally went on he said it wasn't really that bad.

Dad loved going on all the rides with Liv (and some that even Liv wouldn't go on). His scariest was the Aqua Loop where you stand in a tube and the floor suddenly disappears from underneath you and you fall about 20-30m almost straight down and then around a big loop.

Mum was a scardy-cat, but we convinced her to go on a couple of rides. We got a really funny photo of Mum on the Wild West Adventure Ride coming down the big hill and into the water. The look on her face is pure terror!

We loved the 6 month old polar bear cub called Henry at Sea World. It was also amazing to see the dolphins jumping very high out of the water doing tricks and the big King Penguins.
