Queensland Day 2

Monday, 23 April 2018

Today started much like day 1, except this time I got up and ran/walked (mostly walked actually) without Jon as he has a niggling injury. I headed north from our apartment for a few kilometres - the views weren't that much different to yesterday, but still pleasant!

We made it to the gates of Dreamworld at the crack of 10:30 - which despite only being half an hour after opening caused us to have one of the longest (and hottest) waits of the day as we queued up for tickets.  Once we got to the front I was pretty happy to discover that they had a special which meant if we purchased a season pass for 1 child, one adult got in for free, consequently we saved around 80 bucks compared to yesterday which was eye-wateringly expensive as Zali is too old (14!) to pass as a child.  

Anyway - once in we had a good day. It wasn't a super busy day for Dreamworld, so we didn't have to wait much more than 20 minutes for any ride, and once we'd exhausted our interest in the dry rides we went into the water park section of it and had a lot of fun on the waterslides there.  We left as the park closed at 5.  

So it's been fun but I'm glad we're not going to any more worlds this trip - there's only so much queuing (ad spending!)  I can cope with!   Dreamworld was fun because it was big and had the waterpark, and Movie World was fun because the 'thrill' rides were awesome.  It wasn't the most cost effective pair of worlds to visit but I'm glad we did.
