Day 2 - Movie World

We arrived at Gold Coast on the 28th Sept night. So wasted one whole day in the flight. We took the shuttle bus from the airport to our hotel, Breakfree St. Tropez and it takes about 45 minutes to reach. $18 per person. It's like taking the cab from PJ to KLIA. Hahha. For the first few days, everything we paid we convert it back to our RM and had heartbreak for every dollar we paid. But once we landed in Sydney, no more feel. Hahha! Perhaps we're used to it already and no point converting to RM since we have to spend the money there.

On the 2nd day we went Movie World. We purchased the Escape Pass via myfun.com.au and we get to choose 2 theme parks within 3 days - either Movie World, Sea World or Wet N Wild Water Park. We choose Movie World and Wet N Wild.

The disadvantage of going holiday only with him is that we cant have much photos of us, instead i'll take for him and he'll do for me. Damn cham. So only for interesting backgrounds we'll ask for help from strangers. But Aussies are kind, sometimes they do offer their help without you asking for it!





Once we entered into MW, the first ride that caught our attention was Batman Ride (Ops I forgot what's the ride called but it has got to do with Batman..hahha!). It is something like the Solero Shot we have in Genting, but this is far more higher. We missed this ride because of the long queue. Too long to wait.

Our first ride was the Superman Escape! Damn shocking. Can you imagine a roller coaster ride which stops after entering into a tunnel, and within few seconds it speeds up to more than 100 km per hour! And also 90 degrees drop down.







Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster. Another ride that we missed. I told the boyfriend we'll come back later for this ride, and after that we totally forgot bout it. Damn wasted. Joel and Stan said it was really cool and exciting..ish!



Next, Looney Tunes show time! We were late for the show because we went to see the Wild Wild West ride.





It's actually kids show and we joined as well. Wanted to take photos with the cartoon characters but again the queue is damn irritating..sigh forget bout it lar.

Cemetery time! Hahha..






Lunch time. We had hot dog sandwich and Mount Franklin (my bestie in Aussie - ya that's their bottled plain water). I know their tap water is safe for drinking but I cant take it. I'm really sensitive to tap water and even some water which has a light weird taste.




And this! Our photo with Tweety and Bugs Bunny! We were lucky because we were the first few ones to queue for the photography and you know what?! Luckily I have my SLR to take this beautiful shot. Otherwise I need to purchase this photo from the photo centre. They charged for $20! I bought the MovieWorld photo frame and I'm gonna put this photo into the frame. Hehhe!



Movie World Kids! This section is mainly for kids and they have those 'exciting rides' for them. Hahha even a Solero shot!



I find those China man are really good in drawing portraits. At most places you can see them doing the portraits and making money from it.



Look at the boyfriend's fatherly love..ahhhha! I'd wish she's my daughter..



Here's some photos taken with my 50mm lens. Doing some modelling shoots..hahha!





Pass or not? ;)

It's almost 3pm and we're waiting for the show at Main Parade, where all the cartoon characters will be out on the street. It's crowded but we managed to squeeze into the first row.






This is my luckiest photo taken with Batman! You know why? I waited for almost half an hour and the boyfriend rushed to the locker to get the camera. It was almost my turn and he was not here yet! And they only allow 2 more photos which the last person is right in front of me. I'm third..wtf! The boyfriend managed to reach on time and I asked for the last photo. Batman wasnt generous enough, he didnt want to but his partner is soooo kind. He allowed me! lol..



.... So that's our day in Movie World!

We took the shuttle bus back to Surfers Paradise, that's where we stayed. The famous beach in Gold Coast and the sand is almost similar to flour! Too bad it's spring and the weather is cold, so we didnt have the chance to dip into the sea.

Here's the two hot chicks from Baskin Robbins. They're standing there asking for donation and I actually paid for this photo..hahha! Anyway it's okay for donation.



Candid~!



These are the shops for shopping from our apartment.






LV, Gucci, Prada, Escada, Cartier, and many more! Orchid Avenue = Beverly Hills! Hahha..






He forced me to do this..!



And this is man's paradise! LOL





That's our day for Movie World!

Stay tuned for Wet N Wild Theme Park..
