Dreamworld is a theme park and zoo situated on the Gold Coast in Queensland. It is Australia's biggest theme park with over 40 rides and attractions.
Attractions at the park range from thrill rides such as The Claw and Serpent Slayer to family and kids attractions such as the Dreamworld Express, Jungle Rush, and Sky Voyager. Among the 40+ attractions includes the world's tallest and fastest drop tower, The Giant Drop; The Gold Coaster, the oldest operating steel roller coaster in Queensland; and Steel Taipan, a triple-launch high-thrills coaster.
The park is made up of several themed lands: Ocean Parade, Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland, Rivertown, Tiger Island, Main Street, Corroboree & Australian Wildlife. These lands have a collection of rides, animal exhibits, shows, food outlets and merchandise shops.[1] In December 2006, Dreamworld expanded its offerings by opening WhiteWater World next door.[2]
Dreamworld has weekly Night Markets which features food trucks, live music, family entertainment & ticketed events. Dreamworld Night Market entry is just $2 or free for kids & Dreamworld passholders.[3]
Dreamworld was known for being the former location of the Australian Big Brother house filmed at the Dreamworld Studios, since the program began in Australia from 2001 to 2014.
