Parent company Ardent Leisure confirmed the park would reopen on December 10, and that the six-week closure had cost the company “millions of dollars”, reported Brisbane Times.
All of WhiteWater World’s attractions would be opened, while a “small handful in Dreamworld will progressively open” after a safety review process, said company secretary Alan Shedden.
The Thunder River Rapids ride will be demolished, while the opening weekend, dubbed ‘Open Hearts – Open Doors Charity Weekend’, will see $25 from every entry fee donated to the Red Cross, and distributed to those affected by the tragedy.
Dreamworld also announced plans to extend all season passes by six months.
