Hello
We are meeting up with family in the
Gold Coast at the beginning of June. There will be four girls aged between 8-11 years & we want to go to the theme parks but as they are all ridiculously expensive thought we would limit them to three. From what I can tell the choices are... Movie World, Sea World, Dream World, White Water World, Wet 'n Wild and Australian Outback Spectacular (I know this is dinner & a show & not technically a theme park but the girls are horse crazy).
So my question is... which are the 3 top theme parks for that age group (in your opinion)?
Thanks in advance for answering :)

My crew did Wet'n'Wild and Movie World last year. Movie world is good for the smaller people who might not want the bejeeesus scared out of them by EVERY ride.There are some very full on rollercoasters there but also some tamer stuff as
well.
About four years ago we did wet n wild in August. The day was only about 18 deg, but being from Tassie, that time of the year we usually have about 10-12. It was decidedly tropical!! All the locals were feeling the extreme cold of the day and stayed
home. We virtually had the joint to ourselves.
If you have a wetsuit/steamer you'd be set for a good day.

Go to the myfun website where you'll find the endless summer passes
$150.00 for adults for 3 worlds except dreamworld (unlimited entry)
$75.00 for kids under 13 for three worlds except dreamworld.
OR
We have just come back from 5days at seaworld resort with the above passes for 2 adults and two kids under 13 for $1300.00.
the outback spectacular was great but @ $300 for 4 of us its a bit pricey but the meal and service are fantastic.

I live in
Brisbane and for Christmas my work offers a party at either Wet-n-Wild or white water world (rotates each year). I know my kids (girl 7, boy 10, boy 13) all prefer wet and wild.
White water world is more for the 4-10 age I feel, with only two/three larger rides. The main area is the Nickelodeon and the wave
pool. The nickelodeon is a jungle jim/kid slide that gets covered in water (age 4-10). I tried going on it with the kids but felt out of place :)
As with Whitewater world Wet-N-Wild has allot of height restricted rides and is mainly for I would say older kids (13+). The rides are a bit faster and more xtreem. So depending if you girls like the fast and twisting rides go Wet-n-Wild.
Hope it helps

10 yrs ago we done all the theme parks.
last year now our youngest is old enough we decided to do what we thought were the better ones
dreamworld and waterworld racv we got a 2 day pass with entry into dreamworld and access to water world. day two waterworld with access into dreamworld but you can switch between the two anytime during the day
seaworld is also a must.
kids thought movie world was boring so we didnt go there and not much difference between wet n wild and waterworld
cheers
