Yes.. they were showing Shrek @ Movie World.. !! woohoo..!!! We really didn’t want to miss it.. and the children just love Shrek.. so we went in and watched it at Movie World. The theater was awesome..!! and the sound effect.. and the big screen made the big kid.. and the small one wants to turn the basement into a home theatre with home theater furniture and the works for it. It was definitely a fun experience.. and we hope to go to Gold Coast again.
If you are planning to go to Gold Coast, you must not miss out on visiting the Movie World because it is even better than DisneyLand. DisneyLand focuses on Disney stuff.. more for kids, but at Movie World.. both you and your kids will enjoy the whole trip… which by the way took us thru’ the whole day. We spent our first day in Gold Coast at Movie World.. and boy were we tired at the end of the day. And yes.. the coolest bat mobile.. from batman..!! awesome or what..??
Entrance of Movie World.. and more pictures to come later. You can book the tickets thru’ your hotel if you wish.. the concierge have connections for things like that. We had complimentary tickets.. because we are hoteliers. Owned by Warner Bros, this theme park is all about popular movies that are currently showing and past movies. Of course, there are rides.. and other performances and children and adults love taking pictures with their favorite movie characters, like Austin Powers, Catwoman, Superman or even Batman if you are lucky. I took a picture with Tweety Bird.. my favorite Looney Tunes character.
I have to tell yer all.. that I am not really that familiar with Gold Coast – Surfer’s Paradise, afterall, I had only been there twice.. so really not much .. i can really tell. But you all know i was stationed in Sydney for 6 months, so during some long weekends .. we took a short 3 days trip to Gold Coast or Melbourne. So here are some of the pictures I would like to share with you. Gold Coast is a very popular destination for holiday makers from around the world.
Here we have the largest shopping center in Surfers Paradise called Centro Surfers Paradise. Located at the corner of Paradise Boulevard and Cavill Mall, you can’t missed it. Lots of souvenirs that you can buy for friends and family.. and don’t forget those awesome surf boards.
Entrance to the beach of course. There weren’t many people around it was still pretty cold.. this time of the year.. . just starting to warm up.
Spring time in Gold Coast is quite pleasing.. .as you can see. The beach is quiet.. and so are the malls. Behind the beach, there are high rise apartments.
An interesting sand sculpture and just so you know.. you can get lessons for surfing twice a day. Donch forget Pacific Fair and Harbourtown for your shopping needs. One is located at the South of Surfer’s paradise and the other on the North.
