If your kids are a bit older they might enjoy this - the next one is on 14 May and groups of 4 or more pay $25 each.
We like Dreamworld, I think the younger kids might like Movieworld more.

Dreamworld is superior to Movie world.
If you go mid-week and during school time theres almost no queues and you can easily go multiple times on each of the big thrill rides:
- Giant Drop (freefall plummet from great height)
- Tower of Terror (shot out of a cannon along a track an up the tower before reversing back down)
- The Claw (simple pendulum, with spinning ring of seats at the end)
- Moto-coaster (rollercoaster in sport-bike riding position)
- Wipeout (weird jiggling, upside-down shakkey all around type of thing... very vomit producing!)

Of the water parks Wet n' Wild is far superior to White Water World. I love Movie World and would sooner die than go on the rides at Dreamworld but then I'm obviously a wus Don't think I'd bother with SeaWorld at those ages, it's better for little ones.
