Heading from Sydney up to Quensland to visit friends, travel about a bit etc. The children want to visit some of the theme parks and Australia Zoo. Does anyone have any advice or tips to offer as to which parks are best/best place to buy tix/ best days to go etc
Thank you.

How old are the children?

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.

The Flintstones

If they are 5ft, the Big Kart Track is on same road as Australia Zoo, http://www.bigkart.com.au/

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.
