Dream World






During our winter holiday we also went to a theme park called Dream World. Inside are many worlds. There are: Nickelodeon Central, Amazing Wildlife and Thrill Rides. As you can imagine we spent most of the day in the thrill rides section. My favourite rides were the Claw, the Tower of Terror, the Cyclone and Wipeout.
Taylor and my dad were the bravest of the group, because they went on the Giant Drop. The Giant Drop is the Guinness Book of World Records' tallest vertical freefall ride in the world. At the very end of the day Jake and I decided that we only live once and wanted to give the Giant Drop a go, but right when we got there it closed . The Tower of Terror was very scary, too. It is built on the same tower as the drop. The Tower of Terror is a roller coaster that shoots out and rides up the 3/4 of the tower (120 metres) and goes back down it backwards.
The claw everyone said was the most scary, too. It spun 360 degrees, swung 9 stories high and was 90 seconds of pure adrenalin. The cyclone is a rolar coaster that's the tallest, high speed gravity rolar coaster in the southern hemisphere!!! Now thats big isn't it Taylor, David and Joann. Haha.

The Amazing Wildlife section was pretty fun, as well. We got to see wombats, hand feed kangaroos, cuddle a koala, and walk through over 300 native Australian birds. My favourite part was the tiger show. Those tigers know how to climb, jump and entertain an audience.

We only went on one ride in the Nickelodeon central because there was mainly little kiddy rides, although they were very adventurous for my mum. We waited in a 45 minuite line for a ride that everyone but my mum slept on. It was clled the Runaway Raptar Rolarcoaster.

Our day at Dream World was a good fun-packed day!!!
