Movie World

From Currumbin I decided to see Movie World the next day.  So I found a caravan park (very nice one indeed) literally across the highway from Movie World.  The owners of the park had spent about 1.5 million redeveloping the pool area, and it was magnificent - resort style pool with water slide, spa, kids pool, and a cafe serving snacks, meal and drinks to the pool area.  I went for a swim at dusk and the sunset was fantastic.  As I was floating around in the pool watching the sunset, I noticed first one, then a couple, then hundreds of bats (flying foxes) headed west.  It was as though someone had left the "bat light" on at Movie World !!

Movie World is the typical theme park - a few rides (I don't do rides), some shows and plenty of stores selling themed merchandise.  The two highlights for me were the Ice Age 4D film - a 3D film with moving seats and a couple of other effects.  For some reason, I really like these type of shows.  The second highlight was the stunt car show with real stunt cars chasing each other (and the "baddies") around on a tarmac track.

I also ran into a friend and his family, from CGU.  Thanks to Facebook, I saw that they were in town, but wasn't expecting to see them - nice suprise.

Here's a LINK to a few more photos and video from Movie World.
