Day 2 (Wednesday) - Movie World. We got to Movie World at around 9:30am. It was completely different from Wet n Wild. Walking in the first huge ride you notice is the Batman Ride. There are street performances going on and its all initially a bit of a brain overload. The kids had some photos with superheros. We discovered quite a few rides were not open such as the Green Lantern, Wild West Falls and Superman. That was pretty disappointing. We attended the Hol...

There were no dolphins in yet but we were told they had been coming in at around 8:00am. However a short time later a Southern Right Wale Dolphin and her 8 month old calf arrived. We were able stand in the water and they swam around very close to us. A little while later a large male dolphin arrived called Mystique. He is 35 years ...
