and more there was.....

Well, yesterday I was "working" at a conference in the theme park called Dreamworld on the Gold Coast region of Queensland's south coast. Most of it was ho hum, boring. But I got a chance to go out with some people and clients to ride some of the attractions. I even surprised myself! I went on a ride called the Giant Drop, and boy was it ever! You get locked in to this seat and get lifted up some 39 stories or 120 metres and free fall. It is reprtedly the tallest free falling ride in the world. WOW!. There was an element of me that was pure fear, but when I was at the top, waiting to be dropped, I just thought about how much I want to sky dive and pretended I was at the door of the plane, and this was going to happen, no matter what. At that exact moment, the lock went and down we came. The initial sensation of your stomach pushing high into my diaphram was a buzz and then the pure adrenalin rush...whoa. It was amazing. I bought the VIP badge at the end that said I survived the giant drop. UNREAL!

I went on the Cyclone roller coaster as well, it was fun! I wanted to go on Tiger Island and walk with the tigers but at $650 for the opportunity I thought I will find a way to do some promo shots for someone and get it for as close to free as I can....and I will, it will just take some time I am breathless with anticipation!

Have a look at this website below. It is great.

The conference is going from early morning till late at night which is why I am hard to contact somewhat.

Hope you are all well.
