DREAMWORLD – the popular theme park in Gold Coast where four people were killed in an accident last month – announced that the Thunder River Rapids ride that caused the incident will be demolished.
Chief executive officer and managing director of Ardent Leisure, Deborah Thomas, said the victims’ families would be invited to help create a fitting and permanent memorial to their loved ones.
She also said a review had begun of all Dreamworld and Whitewater World rides and related operating systems by an independent expert engineering firm.
“Pitt and Sherry are one of Australia’s leading experts in mechanical engineering with extensive experience in providing engineering and technical services for amusement rides and devices,” Thomas said. “Pitt and Sherry’s review will be further peer reviewed by an industry leading global theme park safety specialist.”
Four people were killed while on the river rapids ride at the tourist attraction, and Queensland Ambulance Service acting senior operations supervisor Gavin Fuller said two people were ejected from the ride after a collision with another boat, while the other two victims were pinned down in the ride.
The Dreamworld theme park has been closed since the incidents on October 25, and will remain closed until further notice.
