Dreamworld, one of the Gold Coast's favourite theme parks, is getting its Christmas sparkle on for one fabulous December night. This may be Screamworld but it's not the scary kind of adventure that the name might imply. Screamworld Family Christmas on Saturday 19 December will definitely appeal to thrillseekers but there'll be plenty of entertainment, rides and activities all the family can enjoy at a very happy, very special Christmas party.

The guests of honour will include
Madagascar's Alex the lion and Gloria the hippo, along with the big green ogre himself, Shrek, with his pal, Gingy. Of course, Santa and his trusty elves will be along for the ride, too.

Rides will be an important part of all the fun as thrill-seeker guests can experience a selection of Dreamworld's world renowned
Big 9 Thrill Rides, such as the sky-high swinging
Claw, the soaring, spinning
Tail Spin, the flipping, tumbling
Wipeout, or the ever popular heart-stopping
Giant Drop. Smaller children and the less adventurous can enjoy ABC KIDS WORLD, the DreamWorks Experience or family-friendly rides like the Thunder River Rapids. Please note that the event does not include the Log Ride, Vintage Cars, Corroboree, Tiger Island, Australian Wildlife, or the Dreamworld Train.
Apart from the rides Dreamworld will be awash with Christmas carols and dazzling Christmas lights, and Dreamworld's giant Christmas Tree will be lit up like, well, a Christmas tree. The kids can have photos taken with Santa or one of their very favourite Dreamworks characters.

Selected food outlets will be open. Try Green Bean Cafe, Dough Bros Pizzeria, or the smartly renovated 50's inspired Ice Cream Parlour.
