To Wiggles World.


Cute and colourful. We changed our day pass to annual pass in one of these buildings.

The Tower of Terror II! It’s rather scary too but The Claw was worst. I would rate this second after Claw. I almost chickened out while waiting especially when we had to wait because of maintenance. At the end, I went on it. I didn’t open my eyes at all and screamed with all my might! I didn’t even know where it went ;p all I know was it went reverse up, up, up, and face down, down, down. Years back, it used to be the other way round. Didn’t even know it actually went out of the tunnel hahaha… It was over in seconds! After that, I was like “huh that’s it?!?”. The car blasted backwards out of the 206m tunnel at rapid speed hitting up to 161 km/h in seven seconds flat then dangling for 100m into the atmosphere for several seconds at its peak before plummeting back down into the tunnel.

After the ride, we headed to look for food. We went through Shrek’s Faire Faire Away. Didn’t play any roller coaster at all. That’s just so weird right? Go to theme park not playing any roller coaster.

Left: Shrek was taking a bath! ;p
Right: Madagascar Madness. Took a photo with the penguins but forgot to add this photo in.

Left: It actually sprayed water randomly.
Right: The farewell arch but it’s not the end of our journey because…

We went to get our lunch! So hungry after all the rides. Nothing special about the food. It’s all same thing throughout the place. I ordered the pizza set meal. Rather huge portion for most people but I managed to finish them with no issue except the drink.

After lunch we went for one last ride. Going into this old mining town.

Left: The jail.
Right: This is the tunnel for Tower of Terror II. It’s insane!

Left: Went on for the Rocky Hollow Log Ride. Luckily I have a windbreaker else I’ll be so wet!
Right: The place for Thunder River Rapid Ride but I think it was closed for maintenance. Too bad. Or else I would go on this too.

After this, we headed to Whitewater World to have a look since we bought the annual pass, then must at least pay there a visit, it’s just next door.

After South Bank, we headed to the CBD via Citycat.

Left: The casino.
Right: Random view in the CBD.

We went to David Jones’ food court for its spicy beef noodle ($6.50) which was recommeded by my friend. It wasn’t bad for the price.

Then we headed to Fortitude Valley aka Chinatown of Brisbane via train. ARG! Just realized I didn’t save the photos of the Chinatown arch for this post. It felt like pasar malam in Malaysia and the area is not a place I would want to be, just didn’t have good feeling when I’m there. I still prefer the Chinatown of Adelaide, clean, cosy and small.

Oh… See the bicycles? It’s everywhere. You have to be a member to be able to ride them if I’m not mistaken.

After Fortitude Valley, we headed back to Myer where Beach House is located. My friends had pre-dinner drink here and we killed our time here while waiting for dinner time.

By the way, see Starbucks? It’s not a common sight to see it in Australia, only major cities. Used to have it in Adelaide but close shop years back due to different coffee culture and they expanded too fast.

Dinner time! Funny Funny here we come. A Korean restaurant. I felt as if I’m in Korea here.

Left: Beer, the only glass I had. This is the only beer I’m willing to drink ;p Didn’t drink the soju, just wetted my tongue with it, damn strong!
Right: Yummy side dishes!

Left: Spicy seafood and beg soup served in hotpot (medium-$27). Very spicy indeed! However, it tasted as if there’s so much MSG in it.
Right: Tuna in kimchi soup served in hotpot (medium-$27), not spicy at all but didn’t like tuna cooke this way.

Food portion was huge! Fed 6 people and could feed two more too. Side dishes were refilled for free. Paid only $9 for this dinner. Worth it!

After dinner, we called it a night, it was so tiring.
