Attractions At Dream World Gold Coast Theme Park Australia

The Gold Coast is one of the most popular Australian family holiday destinations. The reason for this is that it combines stunning beaches and outdoors fun, with wonderful weather and a great range of family attractions. One such attraction is Dreamworld Gold Coast, which has been thrilling visitors for more than twenty years.

You will find dreamworld located at Helensvale, which is a suburb of the coastal city to the south on the main highway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane. It is easily reached by public transport from the Gold Coast or from Brisbane, where there are train services and shuttle connections operating

The theme park has a huge variety of rides and attractions that are available for everyone in the family from the little ones up to the adults. Your ticket to the park includes all the attractions and rides. For an additional fee there is a water and slide park, which is attached to Dreamworld. If you have the combined ticket, you can go back and forth between the two parks all day.If you want to get the adrenaline pumping, The Wipeout is a great start as it twists and turns you as if you were being tossed around in a wipeout wave. The Claw is another ride that is truly thrilling and it swings like a giant pendulum while also twisting around.

If you really want to up the ante in the scream stakes, then you have to make a beeline for the Tower of Terror and the Giant Drop. When you ride the Tower of Terror you are propelled along a track at high speed and then rise perpendicular in the air a couple of hundred feet. Then you have to slide down backwards. The ride is over before you know it due to the high speeds, but your heart will be thumping with excitement.

Right beside the Tower of Terror is the Giant Drop. This scary ride lifts you high up above the park and you can see over the Gold Coast and then when the tension is sufficiently built, you drop stories at high velocity. The exciting ride is certainly not for the fainthearted.

There are plenty of family rides too, for people that are not after so much adrenaline and speed. One of the rides that is great fun for everyone in the family is the Thunder River Rapids Ride. With this you and your friends or family float down the rapids. It is gentle, but a lot of fun and includes a couple of splashes along the way. For the little ones there is Wiggles World and Nickelodeon World too.

There are many different rides and attractions that are waiting for you at Dreamworld Gold Coast. For a day out of fun with the family or friends, this is one of the most popular Gold Coast attractions. The park also has discounted tickets that are available at a nominal price for return to the park the next day. You can buy these as you are leaving the park in the evening.
