'''Dreamworld''' is a [[theme park]] and [[zoo]] situated on the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]] in [[Queensland]]. It is Australia's biggest theme park with over 40 rides and attractions.

Attractions ranges from thrill rides such as [[The Claw (Dreamworld)|The Claw]] and [[Serpent Slayer]] to family and kids attractions such as the [[Dreamworld Express]] and [[Sky Voyager]]. Among the 40+ attractions includes the world's third 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, ABC Kids World (future RiverTown), Tiger Island, Main Street and Corroboree. These lands have a collection of rides, animal exhibits, shows, food outlets and merchandise shops.<ref name="DWMap">{{cite web |title=Dreamworld & WhiteWater World Park Map |url=http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Resources/Documents/Park-Map.pdf.pdf |work=Park Map |publisher=Dreamworld |access-date=25 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120819175352/http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Resources/Documents/Park-Map.pdf.pdf |archive-date=19 August 2012 |date=25 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==History==
{{Main|History of Dreamworld}}

===Construction and opening===
[[File:Dreamworld Original Logo.jpg|thumb|right|Possibly the original Dreamworld logo with a generic log ride hut, paddle steamer, single loop coaster, main entrance building, wooden style coaster and train pictured. Some of the attractions depicted in this logo never existed at the park.]]
In 1974, John Longhurst, the father of the future Australian water-ski champion and two time [[Bathurst 1000]] winner [[Tony Longhurst]], put his dream of building a theme park into practice and purchased {{Convert|85|ha|acre}} of land beside the [[Pacific Motorway (Brisbane–Brunswick Heads)|Pacific Motorway]] in [[Coomera, Queensland|Coomera]]. Longhurst spent two years, working 12-hour days, to excavate what is now known as the Murrissipi River. No expense was spared when Longhurst employed some designers who worked on [[Disneyland]] and [[Walt Disney World]] to design the park. It was up to a collection of Australian architects to mimic Australian pioneer buildings during construction.<ref name="DWEduHist" />

With attractions, Longhurst aimed to satisfy all of the family. Opening day attractions included the [[IMAX]] Theatre, a Baldwin Locomotive (now known as the [[Dreamworld Express]]), Model T Fords (now known as Vintage Cars), Rocky Hollow Log Ride, Australian Koala Theatre and the Captain Sturt Paddle-wheeler.<ref name="DWEduHist" /> The theme park was officially opened on 15 December 1981 by the [[Premiers of Queensland|Premier of Queensland]] of the time, [[Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen]].<ref name="History">{{cite web |title=Macquarie Leisure & Our History |url=http://www.themeparksgoldcoast.com.au/content/tpgc_standard.asp?name=TPGC_History |publisher=Theme Parks Gold Coast |access-date=15 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080822062407/http://www.themeparksgoldcoast.com.au/content/tpgc_standard.asp?name=TPGC_History |archive-date=22 August 2008}}</ref>

Dreamworld also introduced Belinda Brown as the park's third mascot.<ref name="DWEduHist" /> In 1984 the park began seven-day trading after two years of only being open Thursday through to Tuesday.<ref name="DWEduHist" />
