It's a luxury route and a 5-star treatment all the way.. We stayed in some of the finest hotels along the route and was fed with great food, and VIP access into some places..
First stop was TopGolf.. It is a driving range located beside MovieWorld and owned by the same company.. We were treated to a round of golf lesson, and a buffet lunch spread.. It was my first time trying my hands at actual golf..
 |
| We were on the top level (of 3 stories) at one corner |
 |
| Driving range |
 |
| Different clubs for different distance |
Now only I know there is difference in the club size and whether it's made of wood or metal handle, for men and for women, as there's difference to each one of it..
 |
| The ball will come out automatically when we hover the club over the sensor, and ready to take a shot here |
 |
| And act macam... |
 |
| Ok la.. not bad score for a first timer trying my hand at golf... scoring mostly 80 metres hole.. |
After playing golf, we were treated to some fun time next door at MovieWorld.. each of us were presented with a cape.. and I chose Superman.. as we didn't have much time here (it's okay because I've been here before also on a free ticket), we left after about an hour and enough time to go on the Superman ride, totally recommended it..

| Superman! |
In the evening, we were treated to a 55 minutes ride sponsored by Paradise Jet Boating and each time the boat turns we would swing our arms out.. really, we expected to get a lot more wet but all we got were just mini splashes...

At night, we headed out to NightQuarter for dinner.. it's an open area with hundreds of container stalls under large tents, with many kinds of food, performance, souvenirs etc.
Ticket costs AUD3 per adult and you'll be subjected to body and bag security checks upon entering with metal detactors.. Cameras are not allowed and must be deposited at the counter..
