Gold Coast has mainly 3 amusement parks - Dreamworld, Movie World & Sea World.
We didn't have time to visit all the worlds so we decided on Dreamworld which we felt should be the best choice for us amongst the 3.
We microwaved sausages for breakfast.. convenience of having a kitchen~
After booking our airport transport tickets, we took TX2 to Dreamworld~
The bus passed by Australian Outback Spectacular which i have seen on tv and has wanted to go. However, after some consideration, i gave up the idea as the package is quite expensive..
Entrance of DreamWorld
The first ride we went to is the Thunder River Rapid inside Goldrush Country
Water will splash up from ard the seats as if you were travelling down river rapids. Luckily we did not kanna much water..
The above was the first ride we took.. There were other much more exciting rides around the theme park. The theme park was divided into different sections, each has its own theme..
Introducing some of the rides we took:
-->The GIANT DROP:
Level of thrill is super high..
Kai braved this alone.. hehe..
I'm not courageous enough to take such rides. Roller coasters are still okay with me but vertical drop... *shiver*
-->The Log Ride:
Lvel of thrill is so-so..
Just sitting on a log... and the log will travel up at a point and voomph! slides down fast at one pt..
--> Tower of Terror~~
Level of thrill should be horrible for me
Similar concept to Giant Drop but travel up at high speed and drop down at high speed at a curve...
Hee..kai tried this but i didn't..
--> The Claw!
Thrill level is unsure...
We didn't get to try this ride. It operates just like pirate ship, just that it 'flies' more than 180deg high and at the same time, rotate in a circle (it's not a pirate ship shape, it's a circle shape whereby people sits in a circle). Scary plus giddiness.........
--> Wipe Out
Level of thrill is fun!
As you can see, the 2 handles rotates our seats in 360deg.. it gets scary at some pt when i'm high above & it suddenly plunges down. Everytime i'm upside down, i'm afraid to open my eyes,hehe...However, it's fun and we took the rides twice~
--> Captain Featherword's Ship....
Level of Thrill is -_-"
Well........ it's simply a ship that goes ard a lake inside Dreamworld. As there are fixed timings to board the ship, we rushed to board it, not knowing the ride is slow and boring. It was the same view all around the lake..
There were other rides that we took eg. The cyclone (roller coaster)..but we locked up the camera so we could just enjoy the rides.
Besides amusement rides, there was a section called 'Australian Wildlife Experience' where we viewed an Oakey Creek Farm Show, saw animals such as koalas, sheeps, pigs & got up close to kangeroos!!
被围栏围着的动物:
DINGO
EMU
WOMBAT
Red Kangaroos..
Tasmanian Devil.. he was sleeping so we were unable to get any shoot of him..
all the above are animals i have not seen before in Singapore Zoo. The wombat is very cute.. it keeps walking left and then right.. not sure what he is doing.. hee..
We also saw the White Tiger..
We had close encounters with the following CUTE Animals~:
LLAMA
(The llama (Lama glama) is a South American camelid, widely used as a pack animal by the Incas and other natives of the Andes mountains. (from wikipedia))
We bought a pack of feeds..
But came to realise feeding can be dangerous!! (note the sign: Please be Careful. sometimes i may mistaken fingers for food)
So we decided to put a test on the..
GOAT
The naughty goat bite on our paper bag and.....
Swallowed it!!!
Conclusion: They might eat anything so better to be careful..
PIGS!!
Pigs fighting for food...
Sheep
We went to an area where kangaroos were roaming around and visitors were free to feed them =D *ecstatic*
I think he's not interested to take photo with me =...(
I'm trying to communicate with the kangaroo,haha..
I witnessed the baby kangaroo (in front) climb out of his/her mother's (behind) pouch!!!!
CUTE cute~
More kangaroo photos..
KOALAS
Koala is another must-see animal in Australia. It's a pity i didn't get to hug any.. 不舍得付钱..hehe
This koala looks like he is dangling himself on a branch while sleeping.. such an adorable posture~
Mr Koala again
His sanctuary..
Oakey Creek Farm Show
Hmm.. the main highlight of the show is shaving off the fur of a sheep. Nothing else interests me. Oh ya! Another highlight is to see Kai being invited to join in the show!
In the middle is Kai. He was forced to wear an ugly outwear with chest hair! He had to shave a fake sheep too... (i think he will prefer to do it on a real one)
Their speed of shaving a sheep is fast and quick.
A naked sheep..
Each of us get to have some sheep fur as souvenir. But i threw it away already as the fur is quite dirty, with dirt and some black piles (seems like faeces)
I spotted a rat running on top of the hut during the show! i tot that was part of the performance that they will show us! hehe..
Our last ride before we left is the bumper car... we took this ride for 2 times and really had fun bumping into one another.
We left Dreamworld at 5pm.. went to the supermarket and cooked up our Pasta, chip + ice-cream dinner at our apartment~ (By the way, lunch at Dreamworld was really expensive. A simple fast food meal will cost about 11-14 dollars...)
Here's a corny photo from Dreamworld!
