So um yea came across this today:

http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/australia-has-been-named-by-tripadvisor-the-best-country-for-theme-parks-in-the-pacific/story-e6frfq80-1226990606846

So does that mean California isn't counted as being on the Pacific? Hate to break it to them but there are no orcas on the Spit...

They have got the wrong image..... for the thousandth time.

Why on earth didn't Movie World or either Wet n Wild make it onto the list, they are far superior to any park below 2nd position.

Meh - these reports are almost always something that somebody has 'spitballed' in the office on a slow news day, and then they've all just voted based on their own personal experiences. Rarely if ever accurate unless it cites a reputable source - like TPR or an industry stalwart.

Have to say - the shot of dreamworld's rapids - those guys look excited, don't they?

Yes Movie World may be better than dreamworld. But Dreamworld is more family friendly, Movie World has the WB kids section, while Dreamworld has its kids section, Wiggles World and a Zoo at the back. Dreamworld has many thrill rides that also fit in with older kids too. Movie world may be cleaner, popular, and themed. But Dreamworld is more for the whole family with many things to do, which is why I understand Dreamworld to be above Movie World on this list

The article says South Pacific. Regardless, no one refers to California being in the Pacific region.

The article loses any shred of credibility it had when it states half of ALL holiday makers base their travel around theme parks.

As if!!
