I agree with you in theory but it is a quality issue for me. I generally find food in theme parks to fall in between fast food and pub standard in terms of quality, which makes it too expensive. I think the parks should take an 'if you build it they will come approach' and increase the quality of food and reduce the price. We saw a similar thing down here in Mexico this year at the MCG. Food and drink prices were high and quality low and crowds and spending was down despite low ticket entry prices. They dropped the prices and increased the quality and choice and crowds and sales have sky-rocketed as a result.

Nah - i'm boycotting AussieWorld, because they're similar to Six Flags Magic Mountain - which was in a movie I saw, and didn't like.

Strop is right on the money - the drive times seem a bit ambitious. You're covering in excess of 1800kms - something that would take almost 20 hours non stop - and thats not counting lone pine, wheel, and any further trips down to the GC. Somethings to ask: Are there specific reasons you want to go to Bundaberg, Airlie Beach, Rockhampton? The reason I ask is you seem to be spending almost zero time in Bundaberg and Rockhampton, and they appear to be waypoints on your way to Airlie. What's the attraction there, as there may be alternatives that are far closer. You may also want to fly domestic - as you'll save loads of time and have more time for the fun activities. What are your 'must do' activities? So far i see a reef cruise, lone pine, the wheel, and presumably - parks. Is there anything else you want to do? Perhaps have a chance to rest?
