Took my little muchin, Jade (just turned three) to Australia's three main theme parks. Now apart from having to spend a ridiculous amount of time posing and cuddling Dora the Explorer and Blue I also wanted her to get used to going on rides. Reason for this? Well, because when I take her to the states for her first coaster holiday I want her to be cool with the rides. Anyway, I got her on a reasonably sized kiddy coaster and she loved it! Also, got her on a water flume ride here, with a 90 foot drop she loved that also. Wasn't so keen on the dark part of the ride, but other than that no real problems. Wondering how any other theme park junkies out there with kids have got their kid's used to rides.

Giant Drop at Dreamworld in Australia is an awesome ride, and very tall. But I am afraid to see I still think Tower of Terror at Disneyworld is my favorite drop ride. Now, although not technically a drop ride, I do have a soft spot for "The Big Shot" at the Stratosphere. And I still remember going on the Supreme Scream in 1998 for the first time and getting cramps in my forearms cause I was holding on so tight! LOL
