Dreamworld's Rivertown Includes the World’s First Turntable Rollercoaster

Hold onto your hats, folks—Dreamworld are flipping the script with a cool $55-million makeover that's throwing down some serious theme park magic our way, namely, the world's first inclined turntable rollercoaster!

Dreamworld's Rivertown Includes the World’s First Turntable Rollercoaster

Get Ready to go Down to Rivertown

Front and centre of Dreamworld's mega facelift is Rivertown, an 'Indiana Jones'-esque adventure land (a concept by design team Pico Play) that's set to become the go-to spot when it launches in late 2024. Think deep jungle vibes by the serene Murrissippi River, wrapped around a mix of classic and fresh attractions that'll have both the young and young-at-heart buzzing.

The crown jewel of Rivertown? The Jungle Rush rollercoaster, a world-first thrill machine, courtesy of the Dutch coaster wizards at Vekoma. This beast boasts an inclined turntable—a slick feature that spins each car individually—setting up some mind-bending maneuvers that you won’t find anywhere else. With a hefty price tag of $35 million, Jungle Rush is not just any ride; it's a monumental drop of adrenaline that promises to rival the legends of Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure.

Vintage Cars Adventure Gets a Rebrand

But wait, there's more! Wrapped around the electrifying tracks of Jungle Rush, Murrissippi Motors is revving up to transform the Vintage Cars ride into a modern classic with shiny new wheels and a driving experience that's anything but old school.

New Dreamworld Attractions Now Open

Before Rivertown's big reveal, there’s plenty to keep you entertained with the recently unveiled Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland. Here, $15 million of fresh fun awaits, featuring everything from the high-flying antics of the Big Red Planes to the splashy delights of Seabed Splash. And don’t miss out on a spin in the new Big Red Boat—a family-friendly coaster that's sure to be a hit.

Swing by the Dreamworld Flyer, too, a new addition where you can whirl above the park, soaking up views and vibes alike. Plus, the state-of-the-art Dreamland Parents Centre is now open, offering a comfy pit-stop for families needing a breather between adventures.

Rivertown Opening Date

So mark your calendars and get ready to go down to Rivertown at Dreamworld—it's shaping up to be the theme park experience of a lifetime when it opens in late 2024!
