Wet 'n' Wild



To describe this place, 2 words, LOVING IT!!!
Never had i thought that this particular theme park is fun until i was called by Ying2 to join for the trip together with Fonnie and Nick. If there is something to do with the water, normally i will never try to go near to it because i am phobia with H2O. This time, it is kinda amazed that i actually agreed to go together with them to the water theme park. And, there is no regrets at all! Maybe a little bit, as not many pictures are taken here because it is a water park (100% you will get all wet).

Today, it was packed with people. Like last time in Dream World, we had to queue for 1 hour just for 1 ride. Test my patience aite? No worries about that, i have the patience for that after being trained here in Brissie especially waiting for the buses. At least the weather was still quite okay as it wasn't that sunny and covered with clouds, thank God! Else, we will all be burnt under the sun while we were queuing.

Firstly, we went for a little warming up which was the Speedcoaster (2 persons/ride time). It was nothing actually, just typically watery type of ride, haha. After that, warming up still, we went for River Rapids (solo). It was okay, nothing as well, but, not with the 0.5m deep of water (wide area) waiting for me down there. Okay... like usual when i go near to the water without any help, i tend to drown. So, it did happen this time. Thanks to the lifeguard, else, i will not be able to continue on the following rides :D

After those 2 warming ups, it was already 12 something in the noon, so, again, we queue, but this time for food. ^-^" Looking at the prices of the food, MAN, they are so expensive! Kinda expected for that though.


$5.95 for these fries 0.0


Us, during lunch time :)

Okay, fun parts were just about to begin after the lunch time. We went for the Tornado - one of the thrill rides (4 persons/ ride time). This is the best among all!!! The feeling is just way too awesome! After the Tornado, we went for the Black Hole - one of the thrill rides too (2 persons/ ride time). Well, this is kinda lame because it is all dark as you can only see the "stary" light along the way until you are out again.

Later on, we went for the March 5: Sidewinder - thrill ride (2 to 3 persons/ ride time). It was okay, not too bad. March 5- Jetstream (solo) was the next to come. The steepness is about 70 degrees plus to 80 degrees (for both at the sides). Only Nick, Ying2 and I took part in it as Fonnie was scared for the height and the steepness of it. It was really really fast and fun * you can see the view ahead, nice!* but due to the speed, when we reached down, we all had backache. *Ouch* Nick had it the worst because he took the middle way as it is almost 90 degrees/ 80 degrees plus. I would say this is the second best to me :)

Kamikaze- thrill ride (2 persons/ ride time) was our next stop. It is something similar to the Yo-yo, something up and down. I went for this ride for two times because until the very last minute, Fonnie pulled out. Again, due to the height, haha. *Poor Fonnie, she was so scared* For this ride, it is a must to have 2 persons for balancing reason. This ride is cool, it will be cooler if you are the one who look straight down rather than just facing down with your back.

Let's see, what's next, Mammoth Falls (4 to 5 persons/ ride time). It belongs to the relaxing type of ride. Because we went for this particular ride, we passed through the Giant Wave Pool. It looks pretty cool and Nick wanted to get in but, too bad, 2 of us here don't know how to swim, haha. He was saying:" It is just 1m deep for this part, should be okay for ya'all". I was like, "What? I can even drown in 0.5m, what with the 1m deep on water. LOL!"

Last ride to go, Twister- Thrill ride (solo)!!! While we were queuing, it rained a little while, so, it was freaking cold. The feeling for Twister is something like March 5- Jetstream, just that it is an enclosed area. It was cool too!!!

Okay, time to shower, again, queued for 1 hour plus. Nick had to wait for us all for 1 hour plus, about 2 hours! Ah, he is such a patient person, without complaining at all, such a gentleman *giggle*.
