If you like me to do any more of that, make sure you hit that subscribe, hit that like, much of your support. Let's begin the Deathface bonus episode. So the Gold Coast theme parks really the capital of Australia. Well, with many parks and it ten and dozens of rides for all claiming to be the best. And I'm gonna share them with him. How do you even know which well which wire actually is worth your time? We written well, I have written wherever I can on the Gold Coast, and I'm going to bring the unlimited countdowns top 15. We're hitting at all the parts and attractions from mid-band a fill rides unforgettable. So from family attractions. For instance, runner of steel type hand to the magic world of movie world. Which ride will you climb number one? You might be surprised. Let's get into it. Well, we start with the countdown begins with the 15th. Now, the roadrunner roller coats is one of my absolute favourite here at Movie World. Kicking off our list, it's a 3D classic and for the tone people that are very first roller coaster. The Roadrunner Roller Coats at Movie Will is perfect for the fanny coaster. It's been running for decades, and I love it as a child, into my teenagers and into my adult time. Still pick one of the surprising punch with you enough zip to keep you on your toes without triggering the young ones. It's got some fun, it's got some great turns, some snappy turns. Hearing the icon meet me as you hear that when you leave that station. It's not just a nonsense, it's a rid of pressure to the theme park band and a great way to ease in a day of a much bigger feel. We come to the 14th, not my best one, but we this is the 14th. Wild False Avengers ride movie world water bottles. Come in, Mama 14. It's the I'm Believer icon improving. Wow, movies, world, water, theme park, wild west world attraction ride. This isn't just a ride, it's for the whole adventure. This is great families, it's great, incredible. We go backwards, you go down, you go down, go down that big long slide at the very end. Not my favorite part. I just not big five. I love the splash as well. Taking you through a ghost abandoned town with fantastic like beam heart detail or all of that, everywhere you look, it's a long sense journey that brings the televised, the music, and then the grand finally, the mass blast, as I mentioned before. The complete blast you get soaked on a very hot day, it's perfect for that. The daylight, everyone watching from the bridge, or from just just watching from the slide. You and saliva, everyone watching. It's one of the best log flu words anyone and the most to do every single time. The claw is now the new word at Dream World. At Mama 14, never be on this ride, but I'm gonna share some stories. What you I think you may be if you are a big fan of this ride. We have our major, major fill ride for Dream World, the claw. This ride is just a puzzle, dizzy, non-stop fun. It's a giant big swing. You go higher and higher, and it's a big powerful swing at the very end while you're spinning around so you never know which way is up, and it delivers some awesome weight feeling at the peak and gives you some incredible views apart. That is if you can keep your eyes open. It's uh it it's fun, it's great experience, and hopefully you can step in from one simple reason. It's wrestling fun. So if you try it, great. Comment down below if you have tried it. I haven't. Some of y'all just don't like hike. But jet rescue seawood's one of the powerful roller coasters. Cycling on a on the it's like it's basically a jet ski on a roller coaster. So Sea Wood might be famous for its amazing life rides, but this is also some serious fun coaster at Mumba 12 is a fantastic jet rescue. This ride straps you onto a jet ski as you launch onto a mission to save a sea lion. It has two powerful launches that send you blind through a tight twist trap that stays low to the ground. It's an incredible fuss and fun coaster that is for the family and serves as a great stopping stone to the more in same rides on our list. We think it's hitting Jen and it seems a lot agreed at all. We come number 11, which I've never been, I haven't been to the Fiend's quite a long time, but this is Mumma 11 on our top 15. The new wizard of Oz Ponotion at Movie World Water Brothers. This is taking at Mum 11 spot, isn't just a bride, but it's the whole new magic world. The Wizard of Oz Pono at Movie World. It's brand new, it's done into a trap. Bring the Bunchant City of right here on the Gold Coast. It features two brand new family coasters: the fire of the wicked witch, spectaculas that score over the land, and Kansas Twister, a Dollam boosted coaster, perfect for some friendly competition. We all love some of that. So the feeling is just amazing. From the Yellowbee Road, from the movie, to the delice set from the classic film. It's a magical experience for the all ages. Has them really boosting the Pac the Family fun feature. Okay, the heavy haters or hitters, as I'm gonna say. Now being never been on this ride, not my connecting to go upside down, but this is number 10, the Greenlander water coaster and water bottles movie world. Alright, we're officially getting into the heavy hitters at number 10. It's one of the insane and the hottest rides here movie world. It is a ride that Gold Coast, the Green Lantern Coaster, this EL Lanco model is famous for beyond. The first rock is incredible tight. The old layout is just a short ride, but it's a pat an unbelievable touch. Now, some people do find it a bit rough, but it's a pretty, you know, all the twists and turns, and you go upside down. I think it earns my top 10. And I think hopefully one day you at Movie World comments down below have you tried it? Love to hear from you. You know, is it worth going on it? But we come to the giant drop, something that at Movie World's most iconic. It used to be a mother ride, but they officially closed over basically almost decades ago. So next to the giant drop, it's the giant tower, which is no longer basically a tower from you know, look like a tack. So, all right, we do come to the um conic of the Gokot Skyline and a pull test of gut. If you're brave enough, this is Mama 9 for you. That giant drop, are you scared? But be brave. Are you for the Tower of Tower, Mumma 2? The let's see. They've now retired. The ride is simply brutal. It slows up and I mean painful slow, lifting you 119 meters, 120 in the air and giving you a breathtaking view before pushing off what feels like entirely. Then without uh any warning, you go back down the earth as fast as you can. Earth in the state hill, great view as well. You see a great view of the Gold Coast generally and the theme hut. So are you brave enough to get this on your list? I'll love to hear a lot. Any any rides you like today, since my first one from 20 to now, comment down below. Love to hear from you. Have you been on those rides? We come to the next one, which is the tenant SeaWorld ride. Tenant SeaWorld ride. The scorching in a number eight. It's one of the newest attractions at SeaWorld. A new Atlantic, which is a wooden roller coaster, which I never seen, but I would want to try it. Well, Stan and Tall is a big brother. Layton Triton is a massive guy flyer that lives you 42 meters in the air. While binning you around the central coast of you get a the part border water, the tile goats are just speculately. It's both a filled and a relaxing experience and a fantastic attraction that is perfect balance and then generality for the other rides in the area. It's a must do for the view alone. Alright guys, CTA. Well, we're halfway there, we're halfway there. Oh my goodness, it can't believe I've shared this already. What about the halfway through of our list?

This is what you call the Eliot Thai selection. Here we go, number seven. We go to Dor Munston Dawson Water Bus Movie World. Well, unfortunately, the Dun Dun Seder is officially closed, but this is gonna be a if you've been on it, or this is gonna be a memory for you. Breaking into our number seven spot, it is a ride that in the world travel, the Dun Seder, Dunsta at Movie World. It's a surprise that the twist parted ride that peels crude evil is in the best way possible. You strap in your legs and you drag the two giant arms, swinging you around in independently, flipping you upside down and throwing you for winning loop. You have no idea which way it's up. You have no idea it's going down. But the feeling of it is weightless in combination with insanity G Force is in the wild. It's one of the most insane flat rides in the country, period. We come to the Superman Escape. What who has to be on this? I'm I'm like I said, I'm not a person for fast rides, unfortunately, and loots and all that. Well, we do have that at Movie World's Water Bottles, the Superman Escape. Now, this has been so many upgrades over the years, and this is Mama 6. It is a truly red line and roller coaster in Australia. Superman Escape. The whole thing starts in a crummy stataway station before an earthquake hits. Then the launch you're blowing out the station going from zero to a hundred K an hour in just two seconds. Like this. Nothing like a clicking a bell. But it's unbelievable powerful, and really most stat still totally holds up today. The rest of the ride is a fantastic maximum of a huge armtime heals and well highest turns, making a completely and world-class coaster from start to finish. We come to the top five. My goodness, we are going so far from our top three. But number five is the Gold Coast Dream World. Tracking in our top five is one of the oldest favorites that's been given a new launch online. Gold Coast, the Gold Coast Coaster at Dream World. You might remember it's a hot wheel slide rider or even the clone before that. This ride has been a park icon for decades. Maybe the very early 2000s. It's a massive spin coaster with a touchdown web of trap. The signature Beverly Loop to Loop. It's a series of high speeds, twists, and turns. It's a long satisfaction ride that just delivers the classic roller coaster feels. It might not just be the newest ride on the block, but it's still powerful. Proofs that a given design that never goes out of style. We have the Leaf Ton SeaWorld ride. Here we go, turning into Mumma 4 spot. It's the beast from the deep under the sea at SeaWorld. First ever wooden coaster. And this is the one we want to share. As Acher of the New Atlantic Hood, this ride is truly a game change them. For the theme park wooden coaster, giving you a total difference experience. You feel a raw speed, a powerful track. For uh thousands of turns and ups and downs. This is the ride for you. Along with thousands of meters long track. It's packed with great turns and some pops up and downs of airtime. This feeling quality of this ride is the most world incredible, and it's just it's feels overall. Hopefully you go, and hopefully you enjoy that one. We come to our top three in the third spot. It's the steel tight pan at Dream World, the number 35. It's a ride that has just been newest line in a couple of years. For my weapon, the steel tight pan, this strain first triple launch poster, and it's unbelievable to purchase uh to enjoy it. After being launched board and back, this builds up to five 105 kilometers per hour into the layout flip in San Electric. You go through four insane multiple end times heals and the world's first try wet spinning seat on back row. Trust me, it's a complete block and unforgivable experience. Still type in, it's truly well plus coaster and a massive statement from Dream World. We come to Mumba 2, we continue on to the Tower of Tower, Mama 2 at Dream World. For the bot Mumma 2, we are going to use something a little different. This ride is maybe gone, but it's still far from forgetting. We're paying tribute to the legendary tower of tower. Now I did say this. This was a formal ride next to the giant drop, but this was over two decades. This ride was absolute a boom of all time. Now, Girl Friday, have you ever been on this ride? Comments down below. Have you ever driven? I'd love to hear your experience and how you remember this ride. This may have gone through a dark tunnel, but going 161 kilometers per hour and rock 100 meters. It's straight into the sky and it's an experience that you unbelievable never forget. The truly icon, this ride was until it closed back in 2019. The MOS Australian icon ride opened a decade ago. Thousands of people was going on this ride, but millions of memories it's created. It's an absolute divine that this spot is on our list. When we come to the mods well on our list today, number one, it's that DC rival, Hebrew Watercoaster. Movie World Waterbutters. Now, but it could be possible to beat the legend like that. Well, at number one, there's can be only one king. It's the longest, fastest, tallest hip water coaster in the southern agent in the world. DC Riddles hip wild coaster at Movie World. Movie World, this is the ride without any exhausting. The masturbate on the moment you climb the 61 meter lift cliff and then driving down a 89 degree drop, you are on a out of control journey.
