Default Best theme park in GC?

Heading up there soon. I want to take in at least one theme park. I'm thinking Dream World. We have no kids. The wife doesnt like too scary rides. But i'm trying to convince her. So what would you recommend We would probably spend nearly a full day there.

Superman ride! AWESOME! Plus Movie World has a lot more non-scary ride attractions which your wife might like (compared to Dream World which is more fully scary ride orientated).

There's probably about 4 thrill rides plus various shows.....nowhere near on the scale of the Florida parks though - probably spend a good 5 or 6 hours in there though.

Yep. It's the only choice if you want rides.

Seaworld - nothing really.
Movieworld about 3/4 rides.
Wet N Wild - wet and cold this time of the year.

Some local friends of ours went to the Outback thingy and said it was great?

The drinks are on tap as well, all included in the price so maybe that had something to do with it

Havent been to Dreamworld as I dont like the rides, but movieworld and seaworld are both good, nothing like the USA parks though, depends if you are more interested in the movies or the dolphins
