Movie World reminded us of Universal Studios in Singapore, except the kids didn't know many of the characters! The cartoons are not from their time! But still, they enjoyed themselves, and the weather was much better than Singapore's.
This trip, Nadine is older and much more daring and willing to try various rides. The thrill-seeker in her is definitely emerging. Here's her taking the Sylvester drop ride (mini version of the Batwing Spaceshot) with the Gan boys.
She also made me take the Roadrunner Rollercoaster with her. Daddy would have loved to go on it with her, but he's still recovering from his eye op.
Thrills aside, she's still fascinated by carousels.
And while she and the Gan boys joined the super long queue for the Junior Driving School ...
Aaron went to drive a taxi. We were not sure if he could handle it - having to step on the accelerator and steer the car properly at the same time. But he surprised us!
Then together with Gong Gong KK, we piled into the Yosemite rail.
The highlight for us at Movie World was the Hollywood Stunt Driver Show. The Gans missed the show as their Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster ride took longer than they anticipated. Both Nadine and Aaron were absolutely fascinated by how skillful the drivers and bikers were.
We then went for a bumper car ride, mainly to get some air-con. On our way out, we saw a sign on one of the carnival games, which said "Children under 137 cm can play until they win". We thought that's a fantastic deal! Of course all the kids wanted to play. Nadine surprised us by hitting the balloon (with a dart) on her 1st try. And Aaron did it on his 2nd try!
Then as we were walking out, Batman came out with his Batmobile! Daddy and Aaron got really excited, and chased after Batman like some crazy paparazzi!
Movie World's parade is a far cry from Disney's, and although the kids didn't know many of the characters, they were still happy to hi-5 them.
Back at the apartment, the kids rushed to go to the pool. The temperature had actually dropped considerably, and the water was cold. Still, the kids enjoyed themselves. And I captured my little fish in action.
