Dreamworld Top Queensland
Tourist Attraction

Monday November 21, 2005
Dreamworld was crowned Queensland’s number one Major Tourist Attraction at the Queensland Tourism Awards, the Gold Coast theme park announced today. The award was made at the Gold Coast Convention Centre on Friday night at the same time that Dreamworld was inducted into Queensland Tourism’s Hall of Fame for Tourism Product Marketing, having won this award for the previous three years.

In accepting the Major Tourist Attraction award, Dreamworld chief operating officer Kevin Bradley said the park was very humbled by the accolade.

"To be judged as Queensland’s Major Tourist Attraction by industry peers is an honor, to receive the prestigious award two years in a row is truly humbling," he said.

"Dreamworld is an entertainment phenomenon, a thrill-seekers paradise, a multi-media production and broadcast centre, an educational interactive wildlife sanctuary and zoo, one of the country’s largest interactive classrooms and Australia’s leading specialty events venue."

Dreamworld is open from 10am to 5pm daily, excluding Christmas Day and Anzac Day morning. For details and on-line tickets visit dreamworld.com.au.
