By Bailey Jamieson

The Gold Coast in Queensland is Australia's home to Australia's finest theme parks and family entertainment venues. These Gold Coast Theme Parks all adopt their own concepts and provide days of entertainment popular and safe surrounds. Below you will find each of the five major theme parks on the Gold Coast.

Dreamworld on the Queensland Gold Coast is an exciting complex of 13 different themed entertainment worlds and having operated for in excess of 25years it remains Australia's favourite theme park. The Gold Coast Dreamworld theme park is located at Coomera adjacent the Pacific Motorway that links Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Drive time from the Brisbane CBD is approximately 45 minutes and approximately 20 minutes from the central Gold Coast. Dreamworld covers a total 30 hectares of rides, shows and attractions. The 13 different themed worlds at Dreamworld include wild Tiger Island where tigers roam amongst their dedicated handlers. There's also an entertaining Riverboat Cruise, Gold Rush Country, koala and kangaroo sanctuary, water slides and rides like Wipeout, Thunderbolt and the Tower of Terror - the world's tallest and fastest thrill ride with speeds of up to 160 km per hour. Book your tickets online and avoid the queues when you arrive. Dreamworld is located on the Pacific Highway, Oxenford (Exit is clearly signed). 25 minutes north of Surfers Paradise, 40 Minutes south of Brisbane.

Warner Brothers Movie World is like stepping into a hollywood set and being dragged into a fictional world of mythical characters and riotous fun. There are alos great rides such as the thrill ride experience 'Batwing Spaceshot' which includes a rapid 4G vertical launch then a sudden fall into a the space below. There is also the Superman Escape rollercoaster which has visitors travelling at 100km per hour in two seconds.
