Story/Tip

We had a three theme park pass which gave us unlimited access to Wet & Wild, Sea World and Movie World. The favourite was Movie world and the favourite ride was Scoobie Doo roller coaster, followed by the Log Flume Ride. Dreamworld was great but not part of the three parks deal, thus we only went once.
The malls were very popular, and the label shops too.
