DreamWorld Attractions and Rides
Which DreamWorld Attractions and Rides Will You Try?
|
Dreamworld rides and attractions include Wiggles World, Nickelodeon Central, the thrill rides and the tigers!
|
| One of
the things about Dreamworld that is a bit different from the
other theme parks is the polarity of people in each area.
Teenagers and thrill-seekers you will
almost exclusively find them in the Ocean Parade area
or with a WorldPass and going between there and White Water World!
The little kids will be found in Nickelodeon
Central, Tiger Island, Wiggles World and the Australian
Wildlife Experience.
Dreamworld
attractions and rides are usually open from 10am to
5pm (except for maintenance
or other reasons), but the scheduled shows, presentations or
demonstrations only run at certain
times.
The Theme Park Map suggests itineraries for those with World
Passes attending both parks:
- Families
with Youngsters
These are all the easy rides,
attractions and shows.
- Families
with kids aged 4 to 13 years
These include some of the
medium thrill rides.
- Thrill
Seekers
Pure adrenalin what can I say!

Dreamworld
Animal Adventures
|
There are a couple of different animal adventures at Dreamworld. These
revolve around the native Australian animals in the Australian Wildlife
Experience and the famous Tiger Island Tigers and if you are lucky
tiger cubs.
Tiger Island is fascinating, I could stay here all day. In 2008 they
had 5 cubs and we were lucky enough to see them not only at play with
their handler, but also out in the park, which was totally incredible.
I
found out later that there is a cub experience where you get to spend
30 minutes with the cubs! Obviously this is only available when there
are cubs and when those cubs are small enough to do this safely! |
|
This is extremely popular and the tickets for this can only be
purchased online.
You also need to buy Dreamworld Tickets for your park entry and arrive
at the park at 9.30am for these. I am going to do this next time I
visit!
There are a couple of extra activities you can do with
the animals. There are tiger walks and photos as well as cub
experiences (when they have cubs small enough to make this safe!). |
Dreamworld Tiger Island Show. Tiger jumping
between logs.

At the Australian Wildlife Experience you can have your photo taken
with a koala.
During
school holidays and peak visitor times there are other adventures with
animals such as Sunset Safari. You will need to check with Guest
Services to find out what is on and when it is on.
Dreamworld
Helicopter Joy Flights
Dreamworld
Helicopter Joy flights - from 5 minutes to 30 minutes!
This is not included in your Dreamworld ticket.
You need to book and pay for your tickets
for these separately.
 Dreamworld
Helicopter Joy Flights take off from this rather well camouflaged area
near the front of the theme park. This
should give you a taste of what you can expect on a day at Dreamworld. Attractions are obviously sometimes not open due to scheduled
maintenance and other factors. Best to check when you arrive
at
the theme park so you can plan around it.

Ideas About Where To Stay
Dreamworld is the furthest theme park on the Gold Coast from Surfers
Paradise. It is inland and there are not many options really
close by.
- Buy directly from DreamWorld Website
- Secure booking and Payments
- Some options limited availaiblity
- Get latest deals direct.
|
|
The closest places will be at Hope
Island, Sanctuary
Cove and Runaway
Bay.
There is the Gold Coast Holiday Park which
combines a Caravan Park and 4 star motel accommodation.
This
is a popular choice with several different options for those who plan
to do the theme parks as it is vey close to Wet n Wild, Movie World,
Outback Spectacular, Dreamworld and Whitewater World.
Another option is Treasure Island Holiday Park at
Runaway Bay. |
If
you do stay out near the theme parks, remember you are not close to the
beaches so make sure you think this through before committing to inland
accommodation.
