DREAMWORLD’S parent company Ardent has lost its second CEO in six months, with Simon Kelly resigning suddenly just days after the first anniversary of the tragedy on the Thunder River Rapids.

Mr Kelly, who was also the group’s Managing Director, announced his resignation in a statement to the ASX this morning.

It certainly seems like he resigned on his own accord, which is indeed troubling.

For those of you that decried @Richard when he wrote a very critical piece of the park earlier in the week and threw reason, fact & logic to the wind, now you know better. I acknowledge I walk a very fine line writing things about Ardent & Dreamworld - I constantly have to juggle my passion for seeing the park do its best with the fact that indeed Ardent does pay me to do commercial work for them - so with that in mind, let me just simply say that I do hope both Ardent & Dreamworld (& indeed specifically the Ardent board) move at great haste now to putting additional energy in to the park because ultimately I would very much like to continue to work for the park for years to come, and i'm personally worried this news couldn't have come a at a worse time.
