Thunder River Rapids Ride

The Thunder River Rapids Ride was a river rapid water ride located in the Town of Gold Rush section of Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, Australia. It was recently Australia's only river rapids ride; however, a previous Rapids ride, The Snowy River Rampage operated at Wonderland Sydney. After four ride patrons were killed on it in late October 2016 the ride, and Dreamworld, was closed, first during the incident investigation, then on 9 November Ardent Leisures' CEO announced that the ride would not reopen, and was to be demolished.
