The Wiggles celebrate 15 years at Dreamworld

The hugely popular children's band have celebrated 15 years together with a show at Dreamworld, home of Wiggles World. The popular theme park attraction also celebrated its first birthday on Friday by opening its latest children's ride, Dorothy's Rosy Tea Cup Ride.

A reported 9,000 strong crowd lined the Main Street of Dreamworld in preparation for The Wiggles' birthday on Friday, where the four-piece childrens band performed four songs to the crowd of enthusiastic toddlers and their equally excited parents.

Wiggles shirts, hats and costumes were all the eye could see in the crowded theme park. So crowded in fact that the carpark was full and nearby streets were dotted with cars of families out to see The Wiggles perform live at Dreamworld.

It's been a year since the group were at Dreamworld to open the Wiggles World childrens area, which also celebrated its first birthday today with the opening of Dorothy's Rosy Tea Cup Ride, a ride described as thrills for three year olds where fans can whirl and twirl inside Dorothy’s giant tea cups.

Dreamworld CEO, Stephen Gregg presented The Wiggles with a special birthday cake before they cut the ribbon and climbed aboard for a cup of tea, Dreamworld style.

Gregg said Wiggles World complements Dreamworld’s signature attractions and has further enhanced the park’s popularity with children and their families from Australia and across the world.

“This partnership joins two great Australian entertainment icons that are both leaders in their fields. We’re extremely excited about the relationship and the future opportunities it will bring. The international popularity of The Wiggles provides a wonderful opportunity for the Tourism Industry. The Gold Coast and specifically Dreamworld now hold a whole new appeal in markets where the Wiggles are incredibly strong,” Mr Gregg said.
