Dreamworld

#waterparks Dreamworld was an absolute blast! We visited on a Friday, arrived early, and were the first through the gates. With 0 to 5-minute wait times for all the exciting rides, we didn’t need an express pass, which was a big plus! The highlight was definitely the Steel Taipan roller-coaster—such a thrilling experience 🎢. The park had a mini Disneyland vibe, but without the overwhelming crowds. Visiting in August on a workday certainly helped; I imagine it might be busier during school holidays or long weekends. A few areas were under renovation, like the Dreamworld Express and the vintage cars, but most rides were fully operational. The only downside was that two members of our group needed prescription glasses, and despite having secure fastening straps, staff wouldn’t allow us to wear them on the rides. This was disappointing as it affected our ability to fully enjoy the experience (especially being short-sighted 😬🥸). We’ve been to other theme parks like Disneyland California, Canada's Wonderland, and Six Flags in LA, where we were allowed to wear glasses without any issues. While I understand the need for safety, perhaps Dreamworld could consider updating their policy for responsible guests.
