1 Day in Brisbane, Australia

For a bunch of reasons, I'm going to be in Brisbane, Australia for exactly 1 day this summer and I see there are three parks within very close proximity. I definitely want to do Movie World for DC Rivals and Superman, but I'm wondering if it makes sense to try to do more than one in a single day. I'm mostly there for the coasters unless there are really standout flats or dark rides. I would think Dreamworld for Steel Taipan would be the second park, given that it looks like it's just down the street, but I wonder if anybody has been to Sea World and how Leviathan is.

Leviathan is a great ride.

The one challenge you'll have with all the gold coast parks is that operation speeds are best measured using a calendar.

I've done Dreamworld and Warner Bros in the same day – but I didn't need to do all the coasters when I did that. If you've never been, then I'd suggest just planning to spend the day at Warner Bros.

Fine, but don’t forget to swing by Knoebels.

Vater beat me to it. That was what I was thinking also.

Coaster Studios just did a little documentary about Leviathan’s construction.

Richard, if I were to try to cram in a second park, would you recommend Sea World or Dream World?

I'd say don't, but if you insist, Dreamworld probably makes more sense from location alone.

Jungle Rush is new since my visit but highly regarded. The Giant Drop is a must.

On the other hand, Sea World has both Jet Rescue and Leviathan.

I take it getting a second day is out of the question?

We're spending weeks in other cities admiring culture, and avoiding painful death from the natural beauty, and wildlife.

FTFY.
