For a walk on the wild side, head to Dreamworld!

Dreamworld's wildest attraction is Tiger Island where white and gold Bengal tigers play, wrestle and swim with their handlers every day.

Opened in 1995, Tiger Island is one of the only three interactive tiger facilities outside the USA and is an educational conservation-based attraction that actively works to save tigers in the wild.

In the specifically designed habitat of Tiger Island, the tigers and their handlers co-exist peacefully without the constraints of cages creating an exciting and unique experience for guests. The tigers are trained, never 'tamed', by establishing and maintaining a strong bond, based on trust, respect and affection, between the handlers and tigers. Tiger Island is currently home to seven rare Bengal tigers, two cougars and two Sumatran Tiger Cubs, Indah and Rahni, born in March 2007.

Dreamworld is passionate and committed to saving tigers in the wild and has donated hundreds and thousands of dollars to the cause. Guests can contribute to the cause by getting up close with the tigers or just by visiting Dreamworld.

Dreamworld

So many worlds in one, Dreamworld is an action packed adventure with some of the wildest rides and attractions in Australia.

The Wiggles World is the only place to meet The Wiggles Friends and ride the Big Red Car everyday of the year. The whole family can scream themselves silly on the Runaway Reptar Rollercoaster, blast each other with thousands of foam balls, meet the Nickelodeon stars including the Rugrats, Blues Clues, SpongeBob SquarePants and lots more.

On June 28, 2008, SpongeBob SquarePants is set to launch his own "Australian first" ride, SpongeBob FlyPants at Nick Central. The SpongeBob FlyPants ride will have guests lie flat on their stomachs - a first for Australia - and weightlessly weave around a larger-than-life SpongeBob as he takes flight aboard a giant wild jellyfish.

For the thrill seekers out there, why not brave some of the tallest fastest thrill rides in the world - the Giant Drop, the Tower of Terror, Cyclone and lots more including the new Mick Doohan Mototcoaster complete with life sized replicas of 500cc Moto GP racing bikes.

As well as seven rare Bengal tigers at Tiger Island there's the chance to cuddle a koala, pat a kangaroo and meet big crocs at the Australian Wildlife Experience.
