Gold Coast 24 - 26 July 2006
After staying in Brisbane for two nights, we took the train down to the Gold Coast with the intention of seeing one of the theme parks there. Our first day there was beautiful, with the sun shining and the waves glistening. We even took our first dip of the holidays on the beach there.
The hostel we stayed in is in Southport (the northern end of the Gold Coast) and there is a very nice pool area. And do you see that door to the right of the pool? That was our room... prime location.
On the Tuesday, we went to Warner Bros. Move World, one of the four major theme parks in the Gold Coast. Because I had never been on a roller-coaster before, we decided to ease into by having go on some of the smaller roller-coasters first before trying the big one... Superman Escape. I was ok on the smaller roller-coasters, but we agreed that it would be in the best interests of our stomachs if we left the big one til last. Unfortunately, the skies opened at about 12pm and because of the rain, the Superman Escape roller-coaster had to be closed. So we ended up going on everything but the big one. And I have to admit that I wasn't terribly disappointed. The Lethal Weapon roller-coaster almost had me in tears, so I was more than satisfied to give the really big one a miss. Even though we spent a large part of the day soaking wet (we may as well have gone to the water park, as it turned out) it was still tremendous fun.
