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.

Dreamworld is a landmark and icon on the Gold Coast and has been entertaining and thrilling people of all ages for more than 20 years. There are many different attractions at the park in order to excite the very young and adults too. Entry to the park covers all the rides and almost all the attractions in the park. There is also a water park that is now attached to Dreamworld for which you can buy a combined ticket for the two and go back and forth between the two all day. There is also an option to buy a return ticket to Dreamworld the next day at a nominal fee.

For people that love a bit of adrenaline, there are loads of rides to go on. Start with the Wipeout, which twists and turns you as if you have been caught up in a wipeout wave. Right near that is The Claw, which is like a giant pendulum that swings back and forth while twisting and cavorting at great heights.

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.

Attached to the Tower of Terror is the Giant Drop, which takes passengers directly up into the heavens where you can see over the whole of the Gold Coast and then when the tension has been sufficiently built drops you at high velocity back to earth.

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.
