movie world...first theme park

it was time for those theme park visits now. yee got discount labels from buying coca-cola so we managed to save quite a bit. the normal price for a ticket is A$66. if you get them at the discount kiosks strewn at surfers, they are A$64. but with our coke label, we bought 2 tickets and got A$30 off. so one ticket was only A$51!!! yahoo!!! saving!!

. malaysian flag was one of the flags flying here. i guess malaysian tourists made up one of the bigger batches. the rest were china, singapore, korea, indonesia, usa and of course australia.
bat wing ride at the back. 60m high. my first time on this sort of ride. killer...but i survived!
this is the most exciting ride. it will zoom right up to the peak...very fast. they were talking about 4.5g force and what not. imagine F1 race. and that joker in superman mask and jacket, gladly posed for us.
all characters during the main street parade. not that many actually. maybe because it was a weekday so not all came out. zorro was missing.
first from left..acme fireworks ride. our warm up ride hahaha to get that feeling again. the second was scooby doo spooky house. man, this was exciting. it was all dark inside and they had backwards drop...the first time we experienced it. everyone was screaming lah. looked tame from the outside, but wait till you get inside.

lethal weapon ride. not bad as well. you would be swinging left and ride and banging your ears against the headrest. very fast as well...and of course it ended fast too.
police academy stunt show. quite a funny one.
scooby doo and gang.
shrek shop.
welcome to the dungeon. on a mission to save princess fiona in shrek 4D show. just wait to be tortured. some small kids cried. no further explanation needed.
the dashing zorro. i think it is the same man playing batman character too.
our lunch. bought three and shared among 4 of us. thai green curry, butter chicken and cancun chilli.
nice mural...quite real.
the only ride we din go on. nooo...not scared lah. din wanna get wet!!! all came out soaked!

crazy woman....see the one in red?? my sis. she went on it alone for the third time.
hahahaha....i got a scolding for this. wet n wild world was walking distance from movieworld. so i wanted to go there to snap photos before we went back. and by the time we got there, it was almost 6pm. the last bus to surfers had left and we managed to catch one at 6.11pm to rail station. and from there bus back to surfers. met a nice kiwi girl working at the park waiting for the same bus as ours. thank god for gold coast public transport and their zone system. we din have to add any extra charge for this extra long ride. ;)

dinner....chicken kurma...chef? me. ingredients? potatoes, onions, chicken and....kurma paste from a bottle. hahaha....real easy. but it is a bit sourish...not like our kurma. i feel hungry now looking at it.
