Have just started a trip around Australia and recently visited the gold Coast Theme Parks. I purchased a single entry ticket to Sea World for $79 and then found out that I could of purchased the VIP pass for $119 which includes unlimited entry to Sea World, Movie World and Wet n Wild through my hotel. I also found this deal through a website called Experience Oz

Seaworld is the ultimate entertainment venue for our family of four when the kids were younger. We visited three times in the first 10 years of our marriage!
We love marine animals so it is perfect for us and the boys- Dave & Thomas love the thrill of rides so we enjoyed our every visit here. In fact, it is the bersttheme park for us compared to Movieworld or Wet & Wild or even Dreamworld. Our favourite is always the dolphin shows, then the waterskiing show/exhibit plus the ever gorgeous penguin exhibit!
The rides are also family-oriented so we tried to have everyone riding all together except for the tricky ones.

Movie World is a Warner Bros theme park with rides, slides and shows with all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
You can fly like a speeding bullet on the Superman Escape where you are catapulted from whoa to 100km/h in just 2 seconds!
If that only whet your appetite you could travel at 85 km/h and feel 4G's of gravity on the totally awesome Lethal Weapon.
For something a tad tamer there's a 70km/h drop from the top of a mountain in a canoe so hang onto your hats.
After all these thrills and spills it's also worth checking out the Stars on Parade with Shrek, Batman, Scooby Doo, Tweety and Daffy Duck.
And for a good laugh have a look at the Police Academy Stunt Show with staged re-enactments from these popular movies.
You can also go shopping for souvenirs at the many themed shops to be found around Movie World.
Rides & Attractions are open from 10am to 5pm
Gates Close at 5:30pm
General Admission Prices -
Adults $62.00
Children ( 4 - 13 years inclusive) $40.00
Pensioners$40.00
If you plan to visit Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World or Wet'n'Wild , then a much better deal is the 3 Park Super Pass which allows you to visit any park, any day as many times as you like for 14 days.

Wet'n'Wild Water World is on the Gold Coast and it is Australia's biggest water theme park with splashtacular rides.
The Mach 5 attraction houses Wet 'n' Wild's two longest slides plus three king sized slides that have you skidding down a waterfall at nearly 85km/h.
I can't remembering seeing anything because the faster I went down, the faster other things went up. I had my rashie over my eyes and my boardies up my... well I'll leave that to your imagination!
Then there is the Tornado where your wild journey begins on a super-slide from a 15m high platform and then you blast down a 40m long tunnel and into a huge funnel, splashing back and forth through swirling water.
The Blackhole features two enclosed slides that catapult you into pitch black spirals so you don't know which way you're turning next and you don't see a thing until you hit the final splashdown!
At the Super 8 Aqua Racer you plunge head first down an 8 lane, 86m long slide reaching speeds of up to 40km/h and you get a placing to an accuracy of 1/1000th of a second. I'm afraid I was a little slow out of the starting block so I was left long behind.
The park opens at 10:00am every day and closing times vary throughout the year.
27 December - 25 January 9:00pm
26 January - 30 April 5:00pm
1 May - 31 August 4:00pm
1 September - 26 December 5:00pm
General admission prices are -
Adults $40.00 $40.00
Children (4 - 13 years inclusive) $26.00
Pensioner $26.00

Movie world is classified as " Hollywood on the Gold Coast" and it is just that. It features all the things movie producers have to go through to make a movie. Hey, if you are lucky they will even let you become an extra on the set for one.
We sat through a demonstration of Make-up and sound production when we were there. There are also alot of characters walking the streets of the park to amuse both young and old.
Great "TV" Land.!!!

For splashtacular fun you can't go past WET'N'WILD WATER WORLD, Australia's premier water theme park. We were just too unlicky as we were there during the hottest time of the year after 28 years according to the weather bureau!
Get ready to be spun out by Whirlpool - the unique high-speed attraction that sends guests whirling amidst swirling rapids. Hang ten on the world's first wet roller coaster as you plummet 30 meters through wild water sprays while spinning on a giant surfboard! Ride on Australia's biggest water attraction- Mammoth Falls, dive into the Giant Wave Pool or relax at Calypso Beach. Children (under 10 years of age) can splash and swim in Buccaneer Bay- a playground full of fun and fantasy. The park is patrolled by fully qualified lifeguards and all slides and pools are heated during the cooler months.

Want to meet your favourite movie star? Feel up to being rocketed upwards 60 metres on the Batwing? Want to go from 0-100kph in 2 seconds on the Superman Escape? Go to Movie World! It's a fun day out.
Tip: if you don't meet the height restriction stand on your tippy toes (its what my 3 year old did to make it on to the Road Runner roller coaster! his first Roller Coaster...such a brave little bugger! When he came off he was so excited...laughing his head off and saying over and over "Mummy...it took out my breath!"
A word of warning...we went during the Xmas - new year break and the crowds were huge! bring along your patience for the queues!
