Queensland Trip Day 3 Part 1 - Gold Coast

And it's Theme park day today! I decided we would bring the girls to Dreamworld because Kae is familiar with Madagascar and Shrek (sort of), and that Whitewater World is just next door for water play! We will be skipping Movie World as Kae is not familiar with the characters there. Though I do know that most people will bring the kiddos to Movie World instead as they are part of the 3 park VIP Pass (Movie World, Seaworld and Wet'n'Wild Water World).

And our first stop of the day, Dream Works Experience. This is the area you should go to if you have young children.

And we arrived just in time for the Animation Madagascar Live show!

Kae was super happy! I can't say the same for Kerri though. After like just 2 minutes, dar had to carry Kerri to the back of the seats and watch the entire show from there instead.

After the show, we proceeded to Shrek's Faire Faire Away. This area is filled with family fun rides which Kae enjoyed tremendously. I believe this is the first time she asked to take all the rides courageously.

First and most scary ride for Kae, Gingy's Glider. Here, Kae and dar flew through the sky amongst lollipops and gummy drop buttons. Dar said Kae was scared initially and asked for him to hold her hand while flying.

Next ride was the Donkey Flyers. Kerri was finally able to join in the fun with this ride!

Of course there has to be a merry go round, and in Shrek's language, the Orge-go-round.

The last ride, which was Kae's favorite I believe, was Puss in Boots Sword Swing. I was so worried that Kae would fly off from her seat because she just kept kicking her legs throughout!

I was quite disappointed that the Kung Fu Panda: Land of Awesomeness was not operational yet when we went to visit Dreamworld. Kae would have enjoyed more rides and fun.

We then stopped for lunch. There was nothing much to eat there except for fast food. The food was exceptionally expensive.
