Pretty sure the shuttles run to all the theme parks from the Helensvale station if you go the train route. They used to be really regular and an express train doesn't take too long from the airport down to the Coast.
I'm about to start googling trains but DH is now thinking if we hire a car for Day 1 and Day 5, we might as well get one for Day 1 - Day 5. That way we have freedom for dinners as well, won't be confined to the resort and if we get sick of Sea World we can go check something else out. Found a pretty cheap car rental place too, East Coast Car Rental, anyone used them?
hey love- we did the gold coast trip with twins when they were 5 years old
we hired a car- way to hard to get around gold coast without one and the kids in tow
got a car through europcar for like $28 a day so cheap as
also pays to get the car insurance here b4 you go through racv and that way you dont have to pay the extra for the huge excess thingy they try and scare you with
you can take car seats with you or i actually hired a car with 2 seats as well- it was only a couple of bucks extra a day to do so- they also installed them but i definately had to check them b4 i used them
even just hire cars for days you are not a seaworld and for the airport shuttles
it worked out cheaper to hire a car for us than use public transport to get around everywhere

Wow, it is $57 return per adult, $14 per child, for Airtrain from Brisbane Airport to Gold Coast station. Hmm! Might just be cheaper (and easier) to hire a car!
Are flights booked? Because flying into Gold Coast airport would be much easier. Otherwise I think hiring would be a better option - seaworld isn't exactly in the middle of other things - sort of a distance to travel - not walking as far as I remember anyway if you want to do other things during your stay.
