MOVIE WORLD - QLD

Sunrise of Surfers

God it’s too early in the morning. We had planned to do Movie world today and our alarms were set to an early wake up call. However I was woken up WAY before our alarms went off with a whole heap of fuss going on. I had no idea what the hell was going on. All I could hear was Oishii rushing from one room to the next screaming something about photos of the sunrise. For crying out loud woman its not Santorini, get back to bed and stop causing a fuss! Within minutes Oishii started muttering something about how shit the sunset photos look and sunk back in to her bed.

After that morning fuss our alarms clocks went off and the first thing we did was race to the kitchen for a chocolate vodka shot! A healthy kick-start to the day I think Boost Juice should introduce a morning alcohol boost drink.

We raced out for breakfast as we had planned yesterday where we wanted to go. We had spotted another cozy café near Bar Italia that had a breakfast special with the eggs, hashbrowns, tomatoes etc. So we sat ourselves down and tried to get the waitresses attention for a menu as we had limited time. The bitch wandered over, threw the menus on the table and raced off to another table.

We knew exactly what we wanted to we decided to quickly order. Slight problem we tried getting the waitresses attention again and it was like she was avoiding us. We spent a good 10 minutes trying to get someone attention to take our order. By this time we were both too frustrated and figured if it takes this long to take our order the food won’t arrive here until lunchtime. So we did the next best thing. We grabbed our gear and bolted off.

The morning operation had started. We decided to split up like Scooby style. I was jetting off to Coles to buy blank video camera tapes while Oishii was running to Gloria Jeans to buy coffee and banana bread for us. The operation was successful as we met minutes after however I remembered I forgot to bring a jacket with me just in case. So I decided head back to the apartment to grab my jacket while holding onto my coffee and banana bread.


I storm up to the apartment to see our front door open. Thinking we have been robbed or something I burst in with a panic to find some guy on a chair smack bang in the living room trying to change the light bulb. I totally forgot Oishii complained to Anne that we had no light in the living room. Anyway I was about to go grab my jacket and leave when the guy asked if I could give him a hand for two seconds. So I decided to give him a hand when he suddenly noticed he had the wrong light bulb. So the guy decided to call downstairs and one of the receptionists came rushing with another light bulb. By this time I was getting frustrated and Oishii calling every two minutes didn’t help. Finally I managed to grab my light bulb and storm out of the apartment to meet Oishii on the street.

We walk to the bus stop and finally find the bus that will take us to Movie World. I ask the bus driver how long it will take for us to get there and he informs approx. 20 minutes. That’s pretty good as I was expecting a good 50 minutes on a bus.

We arrive to Movie world and we storm off the bus in a mad panic. It beats me why we were rushing. Its like we have never seen a theme park in our lives. We storm in and find a bench to sit down to check out the Movie World Map and shows. We quickly pin point what shows we want to watch with the Police Academy Stunt show being the first one. We make our way to the show.

Luckily we arrived early to walk into the show only to be sitting with a China tour bus group. It was spot the non-Asian in there. We sat down only to see this woman next to us grabbing random people to take photos with. Who the hell takes random photos with people? Ok ok I know I do that but that’s an exception.

We were sitting behind this Asian woman when some random kid walked in with a Batman tattoo on his arm. She raced up to the kid, spun him around like a record and took a photo of his arm. The poor kid was practically in tears from fright. However this didn’t stop her. Her next target was some blonde girl sitting close to her. She shoved her camera on the kid’s face and it was multiple flashes going off. God she’s good! I should do that to random people.

I turn around to spot the Asian guy sitting next to Oishii staring at her chest. God this is going to get interesting. While all of this was going on there was a pre act with this nutcase dressed up in a police uniform. Once he walked off the actual show started. Two guys dressed in prison clothes stormed onto the set with bikes. We both screamed "It’s CHRISTINEEEEEEEEE!!"

Once the show was over we decided it was time to head to the Scooby Doo ride. Not before spotting Marliyn Manmore first in her sexy pink dress doing the streets.

Being a MASSIVE Scooby fan we both knew this was one ride we had to do. So we head into the Spooky Coaster ride but had no idea what the ride was about. At first we thought it was one of those kid rides like at the Easter show where you go on a ghost train and there are people jumping out behind you to scare you. We questioned whether we should film it or not. Thank god we decided not to!!! The next few minutes were seriously intense.

We sit on the spooky train and the train takes us into dark tunnels and you can barely see anything. Here I am thinking people are about to jump out to scare me in the dark when all of a sudden bang I realize this is actually a roller coaster in the dark. I couldn’t stop screaming as I thought my life was on the line at this point. Normal rollercoasters scare the shit out of me when I can actually see but the fact that I’m on a roller coaster in the dark makes the situation freaky. The rollercoaster started by going backwards which scared the shit out of me more.

When we finally came to a stop I couldn’t jump off the thing quick enough. I was practically shaking after that ride. I needed to calm my nerves down and what better way then to grab some food! We go to the nearest joint and order lamb burgers.

For the next minute we stand there arguing over what sauce we want. Next thing we know we both grab an armful of sauces to take with us to settle the argument only when we realize we have to pay for them we throw them back into the basket and continue arguing whether we really need the sauce and if so which one. When we finally decide on the sauce we pull out money to pay for it only to be ignored by the service attendant so we basically run off with the sauce and meal. This then continues another argument at the table when we question why we didn’t take more sauce since we didn’t have to pay for it! We seriously need help!

Burgers & Fries

After that scary ride and the fuss over lunch we decide to catch the Scooby Doo show. We start walking up and down the street looking at the map trying to find the bloody show. We walk in and out of the wrong studios stressing that we are going to miss the bloody show because we can’t find it. After much fuss we get told that the show is actually a street live performance. By this time we were ready to rip someone throat out. We race to the nearest bench and sit ourselves down when Oishii starts complaining that we should move to the curb and sit there as people will probably stand in front of us when the show starts. So we move to the curb and plant our butts on the ground ready to see Scooby!

The Scooby Doo Ride

The Scooby Doo Demon

After the show finished and my shoulders were sunburnt we decided it was time to go on a wet ride to cool us down. So we head to another ride.

When I first saw the ride I totally freaked out. It looked like a high ride splashing into the water. I was convinced to jump on the ride only to walk off it soaked. I had water dripping from my underpants. After two scary rides I needed something to calm my nerves down. ALCOHOL!!!

We hit the nearest pub or bar and got a cocktail each. It was like taking a shot for me. It was the first time in history that I sculled a drink down before Oishii. After that drink I was feeling much better.

We left the bar for another ride only this time I choose something more ridiculous to go on. A baby train ride. This was more torture than the roller coaster. At least with the roller coaster it’s over within a few seconds. We went around and around in a carriage for 5 minutes. I was crammed into a little train and something was going up my ass. I was starting to get a head spin from going around in circles. I couldn’t stop laughing as everyone was staring and thinking what the fuck are those two doing?

Since the ride was extremely slow I decided to pull out my video camera and film the entire ride. While I was recording we spotted some old fart watching us so we asked him to say hi to Christine but he refused. What kind of a sicko refuses to say hi to Christine?

We jump off the train and wander around the Looney Tunes area until we reach the next ride! That’s right another roller coaster. After this ride I decided I needed to calm my nerves down again with a shot. However along the way we spotted the All Star Parade show where we decided to stop and take pictures. At this point my next best thing to calm my nerves was getting the characters to say hi to Christine. I was lucky enough to score a few before the show ended.

The next show we wanted to watch was Shrek 3D show. We ended up lining up just to get into the Theatre. We managed to make the 3:30pm show and stormed in and sat ourselves down. We both enjoyed the show and walked out feeling abit calmer than when we walked in. I swear anger management is around the corner.

The next hour was shopping around the place. We both weren’t really keen on buying anything. Besides I spent some money earlier this morning buying another slate. Now I have 3 slates that I can use for filming. We decided to have a snack when some guy started yelling everything is half price. So we wandered in and I got a danish to shove down my throat.

To end our day we decided to do the Batman ride. This was the worst idea ever. We entered some dark room and sat down where the chairs kept vibrated and throwing you around. We were both ready to throw up. I felt like I was a pancake being thrown around on a frying pan. I couldn’t get out of the ride quick enough. I seriously thought I was about to throw up. I don’t think the danish went down well either.

I don’t know how the hell we caught a bus back to the apartment but the entire trip home I had to have my eyes closed hoping to god I don’t embarrass myself by throwing up. The bus stopped at our stop and we jumped off. I can’t wait to hit the apartment so I can lie down and recover. Along the way Oishii starts whinging about the fact we need alcohol. At this point in time I was ready to strangle her and any alcohol bottle I saw. She insisted we stop by a bottle shop before heading to the apartment. Waiting for her in front of the alcohol shop I was ready to smash the entire wine collection on her head one at a time. She paid for a bottle of apple schnapps and we walked back to the apartment.

We arrive back to the apartment and immediately have a few shots to relax.
