[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 186327, member: 1991"] I was curious about the possible connection between your Seaworld and ours in Australia, on the Gold Coast. From the photos etc I saw on various websites, they do look very similar. Different logo, though. I remember when we've been there (to Seaworld, Gold Coast) there were long queues and it was a problem. However, we found there were a lot of things we could watch without having to queue up for very long. We balanced our day out, chose the things with the shorter lines and often fed the kids with whatever snacks we had while waiting in the queues. We found that towards closing time the queues got so short as to be almost non-existent for even the most popular rides. On the Gold Coast there are a number of theme parks. It is interesting to see how the different parks handle the problem of long queues. There used to be a rule that we couldn't take any food in with us - I don't think that rule exists any more. I always found ways to bend the rules (or break them outright) since the idea behind those rules is to make you buy THEIR food. But they never had food I was prepared to eat, so I would always pack food of a very different sort and make it clear that we were on a special diet (ie healthy) which required no artificial additives, no preservatives, no added fat or sugar. I'd pack fresh fruit and home-made sandwiches. And they have to allow plastic water bottles! That way we always have food for the kids which kept them quiet and better-behaved. Marg [/QUOTE]
