I always hate theme parks and never thought that I would go for any of the famous theme parks at the Gold Coast. But Lela invited me to go with her while she was on holiday here. I couldn't let down a good friend, can I? Movie World wasn't as bad as I thought it was, I did enjoy myself with all the screen of Sherk 4-D and also, my hero when I was younger, Batman with the motion ride.
Our past experiences were telling us not to take the NEW Superman Escape and the NEW Batman Wings. It's almost like a deep drop landing into the abyss. Later on, we went to watch the parade @ the main street of Movie World. Characters like Cat woman, Batman, Sherk, Princess Fiona, Scoppy and Shaggy and many more were on the road, waving and greeting all of us.
The whole day was spent there to make the most of the $44 I paid for the ticket. A special mention goes to the Police Academy Stunt Show. The must see if you go to Movie World.
I always think that the theme parks are there to earn my money to fund the already rich people who are running the place. After this trip, to be fair, looking at the stunt men, the extras, and the people in the costumes, I did help a lot of the people in terms of job security and their families back home. Then come down to this point, what about Sea World? Which I will never go, just like the Ocean Park in HK. Do the poor killer whales or dolphins earn money? Like we humans do, example of maybe AUS$15 an hr? The animals are always in the park 24/7 "working" for us and yet all they get is 3 meals a day. Is freedom not worth the 3 meals? Or are we just being selfish? And making them our slaves?
Saw this at Indooroo, it's a kid's shirt. It makes me feel so patriotic.
