Helloooo theme park brains trust! My 8yo daughter and I are heading to Dreamworld next month. It will be her first time, and I haven’t been in around 11/12 years! I was just wondering if anybody was able to tell me if any rides have test seats/harnesses you can try out before lining up to ride? We were at MovieWorld earlier this year and we went on the DC Rivals Hypercoaster. I probably should have checked out the test seat, but the line was ridiculous and it was so hot, I didn’t want to lose our place and thought all would be fine! Long story short, I got on and it did take a couple of tries before we were finally able to get the harness to lock, but I tell you what, I felt so embarrassed and honestly was freaking out that it wouldn’t hold the entire ride and so did not enjoy it nearly as much as I’d like to think I would have! It also took a couple of goes on the front row of the Scooby coaster too, which is our favourite. I’m about 165cm tall, and around 100kg, but hold all of my weight in my midsection which I think is why it was so hard to get the harness down. I would like to avoid as much embarrassment as possible on this trip, understandably haha. Also would hopefully like to get on the Superman ride at MovieWorld now I believe my daughter is tall enough to ride! Appreciate all and any feedback, thank you!!! - A clueless mum just trying to make memories!
