Warner Brothers Movie World - Hollywood on the Gold Coast
Finally, after much anticipating, we have made our way to Warner Bros Movie World yesterday at 10am sharp which is the opening time of the park. We had so much fun in the theme park and it brought me back to my childhood. My one and only theme park memory was genting highland which was years back.
Overall, I was so impressed on their advancement in technology and the creativity. When I compared with what we have in Genting, I realised it's so incomparable. The theme park has more things to see such as parade and shows and the rides are more thrilling too!!
The most impressed ride was the superman escape where the train accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 2 sec at the very beginning part. What a terrifying fast speed and rumor said the speed is comparable to a rocket. Wow! Besides, the train was riding in a inverted U shape and is vertical. There was one moment where I could not feel myself and my heart as if still hanging on top. That was the scariest ride that I’ve ever had. I think it would be 10 times scarier than the superman ride in Genting. Seriuosly! For those interested in thrilling ride, i think It would be a good challenge.
superman escape: The queen of all rides
Above: Taking photo with superhero-Batman, Felicia and I...Cool! We actually cut the queue to take photo with this guy. sounds a bit rude but there was limited shot for this guys therefore I was forced by the circumstances. hehe..
The policeman stunt show was funny and entertaining. The effects were especially good and real. There was an explosion scene which you could feel the heat blowing towards you. However, I was not fully concentrating on the story line at that moment cuz we sat third line from the front and it was so darn hot! We didn't realise the sun direction actually moving towards us when we were choosing the seats. Damn! Back to the topic, prior the show began, there was a staff in cadet uniform directing the crowd and he acted so funny. He was playing around with the audience by combing their hair, mustache, stealing their stuff, separating the couples from sitting together, spraying water, fooling around with the rubber band and etc. The audience were amused and laughed non-stop.
We managed to hop on all the rides but in a hurry pace. The park closes at 530 pm and we were still wandering around to take the very last piece of photo. Until the park attendant chased us out politely. So ambarrassing. But who cares! We must take 44 bucks worth of photos...! And guess what we took 312 pieces of photo in only one day! hahaz...no complaining...totally satisfied!
I guess reader could not really feel the excitement by just reading so I'll upload more photos to share the joyous moments. Personally, I strongly recommend to visit this theme park at least once in your life time. It definitely worth the money back! I think I'll revisit in a few years time.
We met this hero looking man somewhere in the theme park and curious on the overwhelming crowd who wanted to take photo with this handsome!
Lethal Weapon Ride. Ranking top 2 of the thrillingness. Damn our legs were dangling in the air and we were up side down for 3 times. After the ride, we felt giddy and off balance.
Photos taken in the souvenir shop there are heaps of them. Top 2 were taken in daily planet. In black robe was in harry potter house, i'm looking more fashionable than being a wizard like. The last one is one of the last few photos we took in movie world just after we rushed to buy the souvenir.
Above: In looney Tunes Village, memorable moment cos we were born in that era. I love to watch all these cartons years back, bugs bunny, tweety bird, sylvester and many more.
Batwing: Space shot. Slightly scary. The car is cool!
Wild west: Water boat ride. We were drenched after the ride. It's a good cooling session though.
Above: Shrek 4D adventure show. It was freaking cool where you can feel the sensation from the movie such as the touch of spiders, water from sneezing and the light effect.
End of the day, we decided not to disturb Wayne to pick us up from the park and walked back home. It took us 1 hour and 10 min to reach which need only 5 min to reach by car. Damn! But anyway it's reachable and walkable so don't be too demanding on the details. It was a fun day and also a hot day! I got tanned so much but still I enjoy it very much! Hmm...What's next! Disneyland?? Muahahaha... :))
