Theme Parks in the Gold Coast of Australia
When traveling through Australia with the entire family, the Gold Coast of Queensland is the place to be. This is the destination not only for world travelers, but for those living in Australia as well. The reason is…four of the most popular, and the largest, of the theme parks in the country are located here. SeaWorld and the water theme park Wet ‘n Wild are two of the parks located on the Gold Coast. One of the exhibits currently running at the Gold Coast SeaWorld is titled “Ocean Rescue”.
“Ocean Rescue” is a twenty minute short film documentary that follows the team from the SeaWorld Research and Rescue Foundation as they attempt to save injured and trapped marine life. One such rescue involves a dolphin that had been severely attacked by a shark, and another involves a Humpback whale that had become entangled in a fishing net. This is a behind the scenes look of an amazing group of scientists and their triumph over adverse situations and circumstances.
The Foundation is non-profit, and their dedication remains to promoting and funding research projects and rescue. They hope to increase public awareness, for with knowledge comes appreciation for and concern for protecting the species in need of their protection. This team of scientists is on call 24/7 to ensure that should a dolphin or a shark, a turtle or whale in distress will be attended to quickly and efficiently.
The two other major parks are Dreamworld and Movie World are located conveniently close to any luxury hotel. Australia Movie World is similar to the Universal Studios Tours in Los Angeles, California USA. For movie buffs this is one stop that you should not miss. This is the Australian affiliation with the American movie company, Warner Brothers. Not only are there exhibits and lectures on how movies are made, histories of those movies and the characters in them, but there are photo opportunities to be found with Wonder Woman, Batman, Marilyn Monroe and other such famous characters wandering through the park.
