Holiday in Brisbane - update #4

5 September

Dream dream dream world....ever wonder why it's called that? In fact Dream World is just an amusement park with a lot of thrill rides that we sometimes also find springing up in empty fields around Singapore. Well, call it a nice name, create a theme for different areas, tie up with some cartoon characters, have mascots walk around abit, then you can charge AUD60 per head - great marketing strategy. Despite knowing it's a rip-off, we paid up willingly to spend a day with Spongebob, Dora and the Wiggleys (heard of them?).


Some of the rides are pretty fun and exciting. There was one that looked rather harmless but we were fooled. It started spinning and as it got faster, the X axis slowly rised to become a Y axis! (See first image to get the idea.) KK was screaming 'stop, stop' while inside the 'cage' but we just got to bear it till it's over. Verdict: Scary!
