Other Rides

Adult rides in Gold Coast |
For the adults and older kids, up the trill factor with Superman Escape, Arkham Asylum, Batwing Spaceshot and Green Lantern Coaster. Most rides require at least a minimum of 140 cm so younger kids would not be able to be on it ( unless you have a very very tall kid)
Don't forget to buy your souvenir while you are there.Our personal favourite souvenir from theme parks are the popcorn buckets unique to each park.

Zooming into Movie World |
A day in Movie World is probably not enough , we recommend you to get the VIP Magic pass for unlimited entries during your stay for up to 3 or more attractions. Depending on the deal, you can get one that is just AUD 10 more than a normal ticket to a single attraction. We got our tickets from
Experience Oz that added an additional attraction for bonus.
Worth every cent!
