A Gold Coast theme park has began construction on a precinct which they say will “redefine family entertainment”, including a new roller coaster.
Dreamworld announced on Tuesday they were beginning construction on their new Rivertown precinct, which was a part of their $55 million investment into the theme park.
Rivertown will include a new family rollercoaster called the Jungle Rush.
Dreamworld CEO Greg Yong said the precinct would also include a remake on the popular Vintage Cars attraction at the theme park – to be called Murrissippi Motors.
“Rivertown is a testament to our commitment to innovation and creating unforgettable experiences for our guests,” he said.
“This precinct represents the culmination of meticulous planning and creativity.
“It’s the crowning jewel in our $55 million investment in Dreamworld, and really demonstrates our dedication to bringing world-class experiences to the Gold Coast.”
The Jungle Rush was set to be the first of its kind in Australia because of its ride design which included different cycle paths.
“Jungle Rush will be Dreamworld’s largest-ever investment in a single attraction, so it really is one for the record books.”
The Rivertown project which was being built by Herron Coorey was expected to open in late 2024.
The project created a significant boost into the local economy with more than 1000 jobs in the construction, trade and theming.
