A Day In A Movie

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Going to theme parks is fun.  For me, this was a recent trip to Movieworld on the Gold Coast, and it meant I got to be a kid for a day - riding rollercoasters and watching grown ups in cartoon animal suits entertain children.

I have to admit to never having been a huge fan of rollercoasters - particularly the ones that spin you upside down.  And, the last time I went to Movieworld (which was about 12 years ago), I chickened out on the Lethal Weapon ride.  This time I was determined to go on that ride!  I did, and I think my brain got moved around in the process… :-)

It’s often difficult to capture a day like this in photos, as there are lots of people around, and everything is so close together, so getting a decent shot isn’t easy.

One thing to do, is to get there as soon as the park opens and hurriedly take some photos before people arrive.  Or make them disappear like wizard magic…
