Bailz 29 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Dream world is defiantly the better option for thrill rides. Movieworld on the over hand is great for rollercoasters Edited August 10, 2016 by Bailz Called Dreamworld themeworld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reanimated35 3,493 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 You're on the trip now? or soon? If now, Dreamworld will be your best bet as Movie World has quite a few major attractions closed for maintenance currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Jay The Jet Plane 1,398 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 Ok being serious here, Dreamworld has their Big 9 Thrill Rides which includes TOT2 and Giant Drop, Movie World has a lot of thrilling roller coasters compared to Dreamworld however as what reanimated said, Superman and Wild West Falls are closed of course the most thrilling ride in the park, Dodgems I would say both parks are all day experiences IMO so it comes down to your personal taste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both of them are pretty intense thrill wise, whilst Hot Wheels SW offers your more traditional coaster experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladex 205 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 yeah...but hot wheels is the only real coaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theme Park Girl 1,966 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 Actually you'll find that the other two are technically classified as rollercoasters as well, just not your traditional type. There's all different kinds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary86 176 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 Dreamworld has lots of great thrill rides and Aussie animals. Movie World has the best rollercoasters on the Gold Coast (however the best one is closed till late September). No animals there though, except for Bugs Bunny and friends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're short on time, want to get a photo with a koala, see some native Australian wildlife and enjoy some rides with friends, Dreamworld is definitely the most well rounded experience. You'll be able to tick a lot of boxes in one day without it being a mission. If you love roller-coasters, then Superman Escape alone will give just about everything in Japan a run for its money and thus Movie World becomes a great choice. If you're a fan of parks like USJ or DisneySea then Movie World is much more your thing. If you have a few days, i'd genuinely do both, these days Movie World & Dreamworld compliment each other more then they do compete in my mind. Both have great rides that each other doesn't have. If you're short on time and if you have a bit of money to spend on Ride Express and Fast Track (that's the names for each park's queue skipping system) then you could do both in one day too. Ultimately, in any scenario you'll have a great time. Keep us posted - send us some pictures of your time in Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webslave 383 Report post Posted August 12, 2016 It's amazing how much Superman carries Movie World in these types of discussions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slick 2,269 Report post Posted August 12, 2016 And i'd love it if Dreamworld had something similar that wasn't nearly two decades old at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shows just how good of a ride it is for the park. If I had to make the decision between DW and MW I'd choose MW every time just so I can ride Superman again.

webslave 383 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 That's my point - even in an environment where some other attractions are closed Superman is often enough of a carry for people to recommend the park over Dreamworld. There's a lesson to be learned there for our parks, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santa07 1,023 Report post Posted August 16, 2016 While Superman is a great ride and all, there are a lot of things that DW does that MW doesn't that brings it up to the same level. I wouldn't judge a park by one ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 4,731 Report post Posted August 16, 2016 I think MW is a really good park, but for a day trip or to go somewhere with family/friends I'd choose DW. Especially if they are visiting from overseas. DW is much more of a full round package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
