This ride.. been there for quite awhile? I remember seeing it when I was in Primary 2, whilst on the Gold Coast trip with my family.

EXTREME FACTOR

Maximum speed 72Km/hr or 20.2 m/s 0-65 km/h in 2 seconds



The least scariest one. Not a bit scary at all.. just fast.
But since they wanna put it as one of the Thrill 6 rides, then okk.
Maybe for the kids?

Our hearts were pounding really badly even seeing that massive drop ride from the outside.

But... that's our first stop!!
ON THE WAY ON THE WAY!
Photo first!
ON THE WAYYY!!!

And yes, we bumped into my sister's (XUAN) best friend:

TA-DAH!
Bf thought that she looked damn chio and so have decided to pose with her.
BUT my sister's best friend got too frightened by Bf's tiko-ness and have decided to run away.

D:

It's a rare opportunity that I've been that magnanimous but she just had to go.
CAN YOU GIRLS TAKE IT IF YOUR BF WANTS TO TAKE PHOTO WITH A CHIOBU?! NO RIGHT.

SO,
sadly, for this rare opportunity, she was an unwilling party.

*****
Oh well, Bf felt better after...
WHEEEE.
LOOKS SCARY, RIGHT?
39 STOREYS HIGH!!
THE GIANT DROP!!!

See how enthu we were?
Ok.. actually that was our second ride photo.

I wasnt that BRAVE during the first round.. SEE:
Bf was high because of the photo-taking with that chiobu (Sister's best friend).

**
Then, we set off for the...
YAY!
TOWER OF TERROR!

It looks scary but it is seriously NOT! We even took the first row (our second round) and there's no kick!
But anyway, we thought that the last few rows are more thrillingzxzxzx!

*****
Iya. Forgot to purchase the photo :S
Including that NOT SCARY MOTOCOASTER in which we actually took that before the TOWER OF TERROR.

*****
Oh the way for our lunchhhh. we saw the Tiger enclosure.
The zoo keeper was trying to make that fat lazy tiger moved but she (i insist that tiger's a SHE!) just went on her belly side..
Was really cute! Like some huge gigantic cat.

*********
Lunch at the kiddy world! Was hoping to catch a glimpse of Patrick the starfish but snapped some of this photos just in case I couldnt see him.
BUT, while I was eating that overpriced bad-tasting fish, Bf got me excited when he told me that Patrick is outside!

I didnt even bother finishing the fries and rushed to take a shot with them!
Patrick was sooo playful!
The crew even had to say "Patrick stop it and face the camera"

But he refused and kept turning to me and wave.

******
HOHO. But anyway, I thought that I was REALLY fated with them because its like some kind of random characters by that photo taking booth.
So it can be some other character! Like that bob hair girl or some others. But I managed to bump into THEM! :D

**********
Some other photos!

Was queueing for the Cyclone ride and saw the Whitewater waterpark!
Looks similar to Wet & Wild.. so we didnt bother going.

*******

We also took the splashy ride.

And saw my sister's BEST FRIEND, AGAIN!

This part is especially dedicated to my sister, Ng Ee Xuan.

***************
Anyway, for that ride, we'll really getting wet and Bf had to take the front seat! HURHUR.
The part where you get splashed, MOST!
Not that scary, as you can see.

*******************
& The Claw ride!


********************
That's all for the DreamWorld!

************************
Dinner,
at this REALLY GOOD ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Like some kind of family restaurant I think. Definitely authentic as everybody looks like and speaks like an Italian.
Appetizer, as recommended by them.
It's really good. Dont judge by the photo!
Simple pizza base with the tomato base and herbs... but boy, their pizza base and sauce was soooo yummy.
HAPPY ME!
HAPPY BF!
Looks like some Kopi tiam right? I think it's cute!
& our yummy pizza. It's really juicy!! and not a bit oily!
Really different!
& the yummy seafood pasta. SLURRRPPPS.

I felt that the pasta dish is comparable to the classy restaurants along club street, those SGD60-80/plate. Pizza wise, havent really tasted the high-end ones in SG but this is like the best pizza that I've ever taste.

Delizioso!


p.s. the last part is making me reallll hungy D:
