Whitewater World Trip Report
Well today I went to White Water World, the first day open to the public. I walked up to the gates where there wasn't as many people as i thought there would be. We hired a locker and started with the Hydro coaster. This ride is awesome. It seats 3 or 2 and starts is a lot of fun. The magnets push you really fast towards the top of the slope and you get a face full of water. Its just amazing watching it, and seeing peoples faces think...how does this work? We only waited about 15 mins. The Green Room was next, it was awesome. It has a longer ride at the start than the tornado and its so bright. We got on it in about 5 mins. I couldn't believe there was hardly any people in the park. I got numbers of 1200 roughly. And everything was not packed at all, we didn't have to line up for anything apart from the hydro in the morning. We then went to The Bro. This is very cool, the slide tunnels look so thin, if you were a large or fat person, it could create a problem. You pick up a lot of speed in the enclosed part then going down the humps i got so much air i whacked my head, but was fine. There heaps fun. Anyone going on them, should ride on the 2 outside lanes, there the longer ones and you end up in the middle. The Rip is very cool, we did that after the bro, its pitch black and when you get in the bowl its wicked, water spraying everywhere and just go around twice then you drop down the slide. A Proslide staff member was walking around taking photos too, i seen him a bit. I guess its for there files and maybe to post on there site. We then went to the Temple of Huey. These slides are average, you can choose to go single or double. I went singled most of the time. They take your photo on most of the rides and give you a arm band with a sticker on it, so u can purchase it at the store. The Nickalodeon Play area is awesome, i means its not just for kids, adults can go on it too. Its massive, you need to see it to see how big it is. Its full of interactive water gadgets and buttons and buckets and nets and slides, its so fun, it beats wnw's kids area. The caves of waves was good, its not very deep, but its large and lagoon style. Also the tubes are free and you can go to the wall too with them. The waves start with the sound of Huey moaning or making some blow horn sound, its pretty cool. Lots of Filming going on, with the making of the new commercial and also nicklodeon reporters and show host. The theming was done well, major colors everywhere, with loads of chairs and sitting areas with grassed areas too. We had basically finished around 2:30, but stayed till 3:30. In the end a Great day out, this park will do very well, people will go here just for the rides and there technology. Cant wait to see what they add in the future. Videos:

Construction underway on Movie World's newest ride
I seen a Advert in a Brisbane Magazine today showing all the new Summer Attractions, they Showed the Concept art for the Gondola's for space shot, its like a bat mobile picture above the seats with the Batwing logo all over it. Looks ok. Don't know if any of you knew either, Batwing was planned to be built where the Lethal Weapon cue area is, and they were to rip everything out and realized that it would have been a a lot of work, so they thought next to superman and batman 2 would suit. But next years attraction is going in the lethal weapon cue area, as they want to use there areas that aren't being used and get the most of the space.

Construction underway on Movie World's newest ride
I want our Parks to become bigger and better, and with American Themeparks being my fav parks ever, I want the parks on the Gold Coast to follow, Which is what they are doing. Go to Gold Rush country in Dreamworld for a "Aussie feeling".
