Rivertown is a themed area at the Dreamworld amusement park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.[1] It replaced the former ABC Kids World and provides a link between Main Street, the Dreamworld Corroboree and Tiger Island.[1][2] The area previously existed from the park's opening in 1981 until being merged into Main Street in the 2010s.[1]
Rivertown opened with the park in 1981.[3] The area originally was home to the Avis Vintage Cars which had later been relocated to the Australian Wildlife Experience. The Avis Vintage Cars were located where Mick Doohan's Motocoaster currently exists.[2][4] At opening the area was home to the Captain Sturt Paddle Wheeler (John Longhurst's signature attraction) and the Avis Vintage Cars.[3] In 2012, the Captain Sturt Paddle Wheeler ceased operations.
On 24 November 2022, Dreamworld announced that Rivertown would be returning, replacing the existing ABC Kids World which took over much of the original Rivertown's footprints. ABC Kids World closed on 8 October 2023, with the construction of Rivertown commencing.[5][6] The area officially opened on 23 December 2024, with Jungle Rush, Murrissippi Motors and Jane’s Rivertown Restaurant.[7]
