List of former Dreamworld attractions


The following is a list of attractions that previously existed at the Dreamworld amusement park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Blue Lagoon was Dreamworld's water park until it closed in April 2006. It opened in 1983 with a large pool, a children's pool and 3 water slides. The Aqualoop Flume was a body slide which featured several helices before a splashdown in the main pool.Krakatoa's Revenge was the second slide to launch directly off the mountain. This tube slide was terrain based and weaved its way down the mountain before a splashdown in the main pool. The third slide was the Toboggan. It was launched from a separate tower attached to the mountain. Riders would sit on a hard plastic toboggan and would plunge down a steep drop and stop in a specially designed pool. Blue Lagoon's closure was just months before WhiteWater World opened as a separate ticketed complex adjacent to Dreamworld. The area has since been used for various temporary scare attractions in addition to The Dream Room function centre.

Country Fair was a themed area located where Ocean Parade now stands. Country Fair opened one year after Dreamworld in 1982. It originally featured very few rides but more were added in 1983. In 1993, when the Wipeout opened, the northern end of Country Fair was converted into Ocean Parade. By 2002 the remaining rides in Country Fair were renamed and rethemed to fit the Ocean Parade theme. Ocean Parade currently covers all of the land previously occupied by Country Fair.

Gum Tree Gully was located in a portion of Rivertown where Wiggles World is currently located. The Gum Tree Gully Theatre housed musicals such as Outback Celebration and Country Jamboree. The area was also used for the Kids' Carnival, a temporary children's area during the construction of Nickelodeon Central in 2002. In 2003 and 2004 the theatre was used for the Lara Croft Tomb Raider - Enter the Tomb temporary scare attraction. Gum Tree Gully was converted into Wiggles World which opened in 2005. The Big Red Car Ride now operates inside the building where the theatre once was.
