Day two


Day Two

I woke up at 4:00 Australia time and had to stay in bed till 5:00.

We went to the womens Triathlon at 9:30. Flora Duffy won by a long way but still it was very exciting to watch because we got to see some world class triathletes. The first kiwi was the young and very talented Nicole Van der Kaye in 7th.

After the womens race we went back to the unit for an hour and a half. Then we went back to watch the Mens event. Early in the race it  was bucketing down with rain and strong winds. Henri Schoeman won with an amazing run. Ryan Sissons ran really well to be the first kiwi and finished 5th overall.

Day Three

Day Three The first ride was the Giant Drop which had an amazing view over Dreamworld. Next we went on Tail Spin, a spinning ride on small planes. Then we decided to go on a roller coaster. We decided on Hot Wheels Sidewinder which went upside down and went very fast. Our next choice was the claw however it broke down and didn’t start. We were stuck on the ride for a long 5 minutes. Next we went on the Shockwave which had a very tight back rest. After that we went to whitewater world. First up we went on the Green Room with mum and dad. The ride was a four person slide and was a good fun warm up.Then we decided to go on Super Tube Hydro Coaster which went up and down a lot. Then we did the Wedgie. The start of the wedgie   you full from a trap door to get on to the water slide. Then we went on The Bro which is a slide that you go down on mats. Next on the list was Triple Vortex which spins you around a lot and is very fun.The rip was the next ride and it was a a

Day One We had to wake up at 4:00 am to go to the airport.  The plane trip was mostly really boring apart from watching Star Wars The Last Jedi  The first thing we did in Australia was go to Dreamworld!  Escape from Madagascar was our first ride. Afterwards we went on Pandemonium which made me feel sick (there is a short video clip below).  Then it was time for Tower Of Terror II, which got up to 160km/hr very quickly. We had a break and went on the Dreamworld Express which is a train ride around the whole theme park. After getting off the Dreamworld Express we looked at the animals such as koala and kangaroo's, which weren’t that exciting. We went to Rocky Hollow Log Ride, a relaxing ride. Last but not least we went on Mick Doohan ’s Motocoaster!! My favourite ride at Dreamworld so far is Tower of Terror II. The waterslide at our holiday park Me and my sister on the plan trip
