New Dreamworld attraction is ‘white’ out of this world

Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast is set to be hit by a major ‘white-out’ next month as it unveils its latest attraction, making it one of the coolest places in Queensland.

Dreamworld will become a winter wonderland next month, with the Gold Coast theme park to be turned white with faux snow.

The park is staging Winterfest, featuring ‘cool’ activities including tobogganing, ice skating and themed entertainment.

Dreamworld’s chefs are getting in on the act, crafting a menu of European winter-inspired food offerings including schnitzels, bratwursts, sweet and savoury pretzels, Belgian waffles and mulled wine.

A purpose-built food precinct dubbed Winterville has been created as part of the festival.

Winterfest was held for the first time in 2019 but was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

Dreamworld marketing boss Karla Judge said this year’s festival would feature guest favourites such as ice skating but had been expanded to include more activities and theming.

“Winterfest has something for every guest to enjoy, whether you’re a local looking for a magical winter experience right here on the Gold Coast, or an interstate traveller looking for a unique day out during your Gold Coast stay,”, she said.

Winterfest will be held from June 26 to July 11 and will also feature two ‘after dark’ events.

Local annual pass holders will be entitled to one free ice-skating session a day.
