SEAWORLD, GOLD COAST

Our second day in GC, we went to Seaworld. After breakfast, about 9 plus, we walked to the bus stop and caught bus 750 to Seaworld. The journey was about 15 minutes aja. X jam pon... We had to get on the bus after 9 to get the off peak price. We had breakfast at home where i cooked spaghetti..wah..pagi2 dah mkn spaghetti.. I brought the food from Malaysia...he..he..

The weather seemed not so good. In fact, it was pretty bad...:(

Upon reaching the bus stop, we would pass the ducktour counter 1st.
This was the view after the rain last night. Look at the roadside, all wet n watery!

Seaworld from the bus stop. For those who are driving, there are ample parking space and it's free! Look at the gloomy sky [sigh...]

Even though the weather was not on our side but there were still busy crowds mushrooming Seaworld on that day as it was a Sunday.

I didn't have to Q like these people as I already had my tickets with me..he...he... So, kami pon masok teros.. Masok2 jumpa mechandise shop and si Spongebob tengah berlegar2 ria kat situ... Personally, out of all the parks I had been to in GC, i like Seaworld the best.

A photo with Spongebob. I'm not so sure why the photo looks so stretched... 

Nothing much to tell here..So, let's just look at what u can do at Seaworld.

Pedal boats are chargeable but since it was drizzling, so they had some kind of
happy hour and let people rode for free.

This is the new attraction. Will be opened at the end of June.

Here is the information on show time for Seaworld. U will only get this once u're there. They won't reveal it even in the website. The time might change from time to time.. Hope this will help those who want to plan yr time there. I found it difficult to plan my day when i did not have the show time.

SpongeBob Parade - 12.15pm (The parade was cancelled when we went there as it was drizzling)


Sea Detectives Sea Lion Show - 10.15 am and 2.30pm


Imagine Dolphin Show - 11.15 am and 3.30 pm (must watch!)


Jet stunt extreme - 1.15pm and 4.15 pm


Dora's show - 11am and 3pm.


Ray reef feeding session - 11 am and 3 pm


Penguin feeding session - 10.45 am and 3 pm

You can touch them with yr bare hands. 

Some of the rides...

And some of the shows...

Farah loves Dora. So, kami pon tengoklah Dora. Faris was a bit reluctant
to watch as he thought the show was for kids...as if he's not a kid, huh!

This is my favourite show!

This is a MUST watch show and it's called Imagine Dolphin Show. 

Still on the dolphin show

Fish detectives sea lion show is a short comedic skit involving the two
cute and intelligent sea lions named Buddy and Clawde. The show is about
20 minutes. 

Jet Stunt Extreme Show

This is where visitors have picnics while watching jet extreme stunt and also the parade. There was no parade on this
day due to the unpredictable weather condition. 

Meanwhile, The penguin Encounter is also my favourite...

The entrance

Very true, indeed!

This is the penguin learning centre where u can press the penguins' head (ala... bayang2 hitam tu),
and the details will appear on the screen. It looked like we conquered the place as no one
was interested to know about the lil penguin species.... It tells u info like
population, habitat, characteristics, etc. What a fun n interactive way to learn!

More inside the penguin encounters

Below is the monorail. It has 3 stations. It helps give you the great overview of the whole park. The 3 stations are the main station, the mid station (near shark bay) and the last station which is only for Seaworld Resort guests.

Another great way to see the view of Seaworld is by the Skyway. When I went to Sentosa the other day, we needed to pay for the skyway but this one is free..he..he.. But, the sky way will not operate if the weather is windy. It will still be operating if it's raining but not during windy condition. I had no photo of us on the skyway as it was raining quite heavily when we were inside the skyway.

This lovely photo of the skyway is courtesy of Themepark Insider at www.themeparkinsider.com

Smoking is a dfinate NO NO at Seaworld. However, there are a few special venues such as the pic below for smokers to smoke..:)

There are a few merchandise shops here. I didn't buy anything. I thought of buying the hoodie sweater but after looking at the quality, i think it was not worth buying one. They also have bargain goods like AUD10 t-shirts and the towels which cost lesser if u buy more. People say Seaworld also offers cheap items to go at the end of the day. Well, I can't confirm that as I didn't wait until the end. I was out at 4pm. I couldn't stand the rain anymore and i was quite worried my children would fall sick.

One of the available merchandise shops. 

Broadwater Cafe serves Halal food and it's the only Halal eating outlet around.

What did I buy at Seaworld? Besides popcorn and fish n chips, I bought the tumbler for AUD6. Refill is AUD2.

I guess that's about it! Will tell u more stories later... Bye!
