Sea World

After so much fun at the Movie World, we were expecting for more at the Sea World the very next day! It was also one of the theme parks that were located near the Surfer Paradise.

The moment you reach there, we will soon realize that you were being greeted by one of the main attractions there! The adorable Dolphins! Yes, they were so close that you can even feel them if your hands are long enough! Haha...

You can see the Dolphins too if you go on board the Pirate Ship.

But what attracted me most was the Sesame Street Beach which we headed straight away after greeting the Dolphins.

Was treated to the Sesame Street Beach Stage Show after snapping some pics around. Poor Mummy had to sacrifice to queue for the best seats before the show started. But it was all worth while as we were seated right at the front row facing my favorite characters up close!

Soon, all my favorite Sesame Street's characters appeared on stage performing right before us! There were Zoey, Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Cookie Monster & Rover! So great!

I'd even captured a song that they sang in video. Enjoy.


The fun never ended after the Show as we got to take pics with Elmo in person! Can't post it here yet as it was taken by the park attendant while we need to pay for it and Mummy hadn't got a chance to scan it into her laptop.

Then I got my chance to try all the rides together with Mummy at the Sesame Street Beach.




Guess what kind of ride was this before you scroll down for answer...

Almost there...you got it?

Yes, very much similar to the Sylvester's Bounce 'n' Pounce ride at the Movie World! It was the Big Bird Bounce! I did it all by myself again!

Then it was this ride that would need your own strength to make it worked! One would have to pull the rope downward in order to raise your seat up high and to release it with your own created freefall! Did once with Mum and it was real thrilling with Dad as we went all the way up to the top and down we came! The tower would circulate while we went up and down but I never got a chance to view the scenery around as I was busy fighting for my part in pulling the rope!

We took the Sky High Skyway which is actually the cable car to recuperate our energy for more adventures in the park. Only when you are high up here then you could take an overview pic of the park.

Not forgetting to pose on the cable car as well. :)

We will be amazed by the fascinated Shark Bay area whereby we got to see not just the Sharks but many more different kinds of fishes! There were the open views as well as underwater view!








The New Fish Detectives Sea Lion Show was great and enjoyable! The Sea Lions are extremely SMART!

The Imagine Dolphin Show was another eye opener to the extend that the Dolphins were too amazingly cool!



The early retreat from the Sea World that day, treated me to another round of fun at the beach!



Daddy shown me how to make baby's foot prints here.

Was it a special SPA treatment from Daddy?

Oh no...I don't like being covered by the sands...

How we missed the beach at Gold Coast!

Adventure to the Theme Parks!

The second day at Gold Coast started off with visit to our very 1st Theme Park known as Movie World! This is one of the Worlds over at Gold Coast that you MUST visit if you were there for holidays! You will regret if you miss it!

Btw, before I started to share with you my adventure at the Movie World, I must thank 2 persons! That's Uncle Bex and Aunty Janet whom had lent us their brand new digital camera for this trip! Without it, I won't be capturing those great moments to share with you and for my sweet memory sake! Haha...Daddy's SLR camera is simply too bulky and proven to be a burden for us to bring along this trip!

The minute that we reached Movie World, I was treated to a funny balloon hat by the park attendant by surprise! Do I look cool? My Cars tees matched the theme of the park of Movie related!

There were so many rides awaiting us to venture along the way while I almost tried all of them that I can or I am allowed! Haha...

This was the Sylvester's Bounce 'n' Pounce ride!

Then I took the Yosemite Sam's Railroad, sharing the carriage with the others.

Oops...I was locked in the Sylvester & Tweety cage...but I was so enjoyed up there and even stood up to look out of the cage at times!

Was kind of been "conned" to take this Wild West Falls Adventure Ride...as it might looked cool to be in a floating log along the stream but soon it was a freak out when we reached the peak...then it went dashing downwards to the base with a big splash!!! Oh my GOD! I was holding back my fear and tears but it was already too late to say "NO"!!! When Daddy asks me whether I want to go for a second round, my answer was a flat NO!

I enjoyed Taz Hollywood Cars the most as it's just like the bumper car that I took at Genting! It was less noisy and more fun here.

Took twice of the Speedy Gonzale's Tijuana Taxis even tough they were not really that speedy...haha...I managed to took the first Taxis at both times!

Besides Rides, we went to the Shrek 4D Adventure whereby we need to put on the special glasses in order to see the effects of the show. During the show, our seats were tilted and moved at times...I was quite frightened at the beginning but soon overtaken by the sudden splash of water onto our faces, sudden gush of breeze through our legs...and those eye-popping and butt-busting effects were simply so real! Too bad that we can't have photography in the theater therefore would need your own imagination to figure out the effects...

The Police Academy Stunt Show was also another eye opener to me! It was full of fun and live stunts like high falls, huge explosions, sensational car chases and crashes within the show area! Guessed that they were too entertaining till Daddy and Mummy had forgotten to take pics...my mouth was opening wide when the explosion occurred during the show...I covered my ears but was so excited to see the real huge fire that came after!

Here's a pic of me with the Batman mask on. I was again being "Conned" to take the Batman Adventure Ride 2...it's actually a simulation ride with moving seats again while Daddy and I sat rite at the very 1st row! Well, not much of a fright for this ride just that the atmosphere is kind of dark and I hate darkness!

This Bugs Bunny was a prize procession from Daddy's winning at one of the game stores! I am so impressed! Daddy won a Doggy soft toy for Mum too!

There were simply too many spots where you could take pics in the park! Like this one where I pretend to get my shoes polished...

Caught the stars in the park and snapped for the best shots!

Then it was the collection of pics with the CARS, my favorite cars!







Do remember to catch the All Star Parade at the main street! This was the time where you can see all the super heroes, favorite characters like Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Taz, Bugs Bunny, Shaggy, Scooby Doo, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, CatWoman, Tweety Bird, Shrek and many more...




Watch this video if you have not enough of the pics!

There was endless fun at the Movie World! If I were to come back the next time, I would go for all the Thrill rides!
