Dreamworld Reviews

My Dreamworld review is scattered around these pages on Dreamworld. Although I try to be objective with the information pages, I think my views come through anyway!

I don't visit Dreamworld as often as some of the other parks.

I could go in and watch the tigers every day of the week, but the rest of the park isn't quite as compelling for me but my children have different views!

My overall impression of Dreamworld is that it tries to be too much.

My 11 year old sees this as variety!

To give you an example - Australian Wildlife Experience is a part of the park that most people don't even know exists till they get there.

You wouldn't be going to Dreamworld to see this - the tigers probably, the thrill rides definitely, but not this part of the park.

Although the Australian Wildlife Experience gives you the opportunity to see native Australian animals, it really doesn't compare to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Dreamworld Australian Wildlife Experience gives you the opportunity to see some native Australian animals.

I cannot complain about the rides, there are certainly rides for everyone. Mild, Medium and Extreme - a bit like chilli!

The queuing can be tedious and there is less emphasis on keeping you entertained whilst you wait.

Wiggles World

In the Big Red Car queue we stood for 45 minutes for a 1 minute ride.

If someone had been there selling us drinks and snacks it would have been a welcome distraction from the tedium!

It would have saved us downtime too!

I don't think you could do this park justice in one day. It gets very hot here and during the summer I would be tempted into White Water World to cool down, so that adds even more pressure to get things done.

Probably the best way to tackle this park is to decide what you want to do most and do that first.

My Kids Dreamworld Reviews

When I asked what my children enjoyed most about our September 2008 visit this is what they had to say.

The little one is 6 years old and she said she enjoyed:

the SpongeBob Flypants ride the most. It was the most exhilarating ride she went on!
the tiger cub we saw walking round the park. We almost got to stroke its back - oh that would have made my year!
taking my camera off me so she could take photos of everything she saw!

She really enjoyed the Australian Wildlife experience, she hated queuing for rides and was disappointed the Animal Farm wasn't operating. It was a big day for her and she was very tired by the end of the day.

The big one is nearly 12 years old. We all stayed together for about 2 hours until it became obvious that the little one wasn't going on any thrill rides!

She paired up with her thrillseeker Daddy and they went off to enjoy the rides!

Sidebar!
Before kids Andrew and I used to do the thrill rides together! So we've decided we are going to have a "date" one day during the week to enjoy these things together!

The two of them did the The Tower of Terror where she screamed the entire time - which luckily for Dad was only about a 10 second ride! They then enjoyed the Runaway Reptar Rollercoaster, the Thunder River Rapids Ride, the Mick Doohan Motocoaster and the Cyclone Rollercoaster. After those she was pumped, but by that time the park was closing.

Overall, she thinks Movieworld has better thrill rides, whereas Dreamworld has more variety. She LOVES the tigers!

As you can see even though our two children fit within the Families with kids aged 4 to 13 years category, it was hard to stay together with their different requirements.

We had no option but to split up. I cannot see a way around this for most families with children above and below the age of about 8 years depending on how thrill seeking they are. It was just not an option to stay together.
