DREAMWORLD Australia Ardent Leisure
Park News - (1/18/2026) According to Themeparks-AU, Dreamworld will retire the park’s Morocoaster next month, with your last day to ride being Sunday, February 1st, 2026. Motocoaster first opened as Mick Doohan’s Motocoaster back in 2007, so it is sad that the fun will come to an end after just 19 years of operation.
(9/1/2025) It seems Dreamworld in Australia wants to expand, though those plans will include more than just a park expansion. Their proposal includes a resort style hotel as well as some residential homes as well. Currently the Queensland local planning minister has proposed using some kind of special “call-in” power that would allow him to take on the decision-making power directly which would push through the approval very quickly. According to this news article, the planning minister has been urged to consider making this move by the mayor of the Gold Coast after an initial proposal got stalled out by a vote split by the council the last time.
2025 - King Klaw - (12/31/2025) Themeparks-AU has confirmed that the new King Klaw ride at Dreamworld is now open. Follow the link to find some pictures from the grand opening. (9/27/2024) Dreamworld has announced that they are working with Intamin to build King Claw for the theme park. King Claw will be similar in concept to the original “The Claw” ride at Dreamworld, a spinning / swinging pendulum style ride, that is now set to close down forever in January 2025 after thrilling guests for the past two decades. The new KING CLAW will open by the end of 2025 and be over 50% taller (27m) and reach speeds 50% faster than the old Claw ride. It will also take the record for being the largest gyro swing ride in the entire Southern Hemisphere.
