We decided to head out to Warner Brothers Movie World on Sunday, I had memories of a reasonably fun atmosphere and we headed off with our usual sense of adventure. We hadn't even parked the car and both kids declared hothat they weren't going on the green lantern roller coaster, a bit of a relief really as I couldn't imagine how I would possibly manage it either.
It's funny how the WB characters were such a big part of my youth (as inappropriate as many of them and their actions were) I felt like I was forever answering questiins about who and why or what regarding one character and another. We headed throughpast many of the big rides to discover a street dance party and Lewis got right on in dancing his little heart out. We followed this with the stunt car show which I remember as the Police Academy stunt car show.
We then headed into the Looney Tunes area with the smaller and less fearsome rides. Despite stating there was no way they would go on the mini roller coaster they changed their minds after having conquered the lead to drive dodgem car circuit which Lewis loved. We lined up for the roller coaster, Aimee was ok going by herself, I was going with Lewis and Brett was on bag and photo duties. We ended up in the first two rows of the ride which was good but as we climbed the first rise I suddenly thought oh no wjphat if Aimee is freaked out! I kept talking to her and she was fine.
We had some lunch, strolled around the park and saw the Wile Voyote and Road Runner 4d movie and we were pretty much done by 2.30. I was surprised at how small it all seemed, I assure there used to e more movie based activities and things to learn about, maybe there were but apparently they don't do them anymore.
We sat waiting for the character parade but the kids grew tiresome sitting doing nothing for so long 30-40 minutes so we decided to leave as we had another engagement, we were meeting up with Tania, Maddy and Mehan (Dave was at work) we found their new house no troubles and it was lovely to catch up again, Tania and I just chatting like we saw each other yesterday and the girls and Lewis played together so well. Mandy was so excited to see Aimee she threw herself around her and hoagie her the biggest hug. It was a really fabulous afternoon and evening sharing a meal together.
Today we travelled the 5 km up the road to SeaWorld.
We had a wonderful day with the kids declaring it to be the best day (or one of the best days!) ever.
I was a bit worried after Movie World yesterday but as soon as we walked in I was confident we were going to have a great day. From the King and Gentoo penguins to the creatures of the deep, the dolphins (we went to the dolphin show twice), the seals and petting the rays. It was a hot day but we had such a great time. I would happily return tomorrow and do it all again.
Aimee loved seeing the sea turtles in at Shark Cove and Lewis enjoyed the sharks and the touch pools. We must have stood and watched the fish swimming for close to an hour all up.
I would love to actually stay at the Sea World resort and possibly do a snorkel or meet and greet experience.
We were pretty lucky too as we also saw one
