Just in time for Christmas and the Gold Coast's peak holiday season, Dreamworld has launched its latest attraction, The Big Red Boat Coaster.

Inspired by the beloved children's entertainment group, The Wiggles, the exciting new family rollercoaster is now the centrepiece in Dreamworld's new family precinct, Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland.

Designed with families in mind, The Big Red Boat Coaster promises a delightful experience for visitors of all ages, making it the perfect adventure for children and their parents and guardians. This beachside-themed ride captures the spirit and energy of The Wiggles, creating a joyful atmosphere that will leave families with cherished memories.

The Big Red Boat Coaster promises a thrilling journey filled with twists, turns, and Wiggly surprises, creating an immersive experience that transports riders into The Wiggles' vibrant and colourful world. The coaster's engaging design and family-friendly features make it the ideal addition to Dreamworld's commitment to providing safe and enjoyable entertainment for all.

Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland, Dreamworld's newly unveiled family precinct, is a testament to the park's commitment to providing a diverse and inclusive range of attractions for all guests. The area showcases a variety of rides from beloved children’s brands with not only The Big Red Boat Coaster from The Wiggles but also the Big Red Planes ride, as well as the Bananas in Pyjamas Carousel and Play School Wheel from ABC Kids. The family-friendly precinct has recently been reimagined to include Kenny's Forest Flyer and The Dreamworld Theatre, offering a well-rounded experience for guests seeking adventure and entertainment.

Dreamworld Director of Sales, Marketing and Digital, Karla Judge says that The Big Red Boat Coaster really rounds out a new era in family fun at Dreamworld, explaining “we are thrilled to introduce The Big Red Boat Coaster, a fantastic addition to Dreamworld's lineup of family-friendly attractions.

Jessica Ellis, Head of ABC Commercial, is delighted to see the new precinct open to the public, adding “ABC Kids’ long-standing partnership with Dreamworld has given families the chance to make new memories alongside their favourite ABC Kids brands. The opening of Kenny and Belinda’s Dreamland, with the Bananas in Pyjamas Carousel and Play School’s Humpty-Go-Round ride, as well as the Bananas in Pyjamas Fun Maze and Play School Wheel, now provides even more fun and excitement.”
