Earthstory created not just an immersive story experience, but a complete culture, to bring the entire "Rivertown", "Jungle Rush", "Murrassippi Motors" and "Jungle Jane's" zones alive.

Gold Coast Australia's Dreamworld selected Earthstory from an international field, to create and develop the engaging storylines, visitor experiences and exotic theming designs for their iconic "Rivertown", "Jungle Rush" roller coaster, "Murrasippi Motors" car ride and "Jungle Jane's" restaurant.

This was effectively a ‘greenfield’ site; Earthstory worked with Greg Yong and the Dreamworld team to set the bedrock for an iconic attraction. Together, we conceived and worked through the concept feasibility of a temple dark ride, and how to tie a two-ride precinct into a single coherent and exciting visitor journey.

Our design philosophy was grounded in the old school, steering away from digital solutions to a ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ mechanical approach - for a cinematic feel where ‘you are in the story’. Our creative journey called for the origination of everything - from an ancient culture including its architecture and artifacts to a motley crew of adventurers, hand-built jungle cars, a towering temple, massive mysterious statues, a river restaurant jammed to the rafters with esoteric paraphenalia, and a complete family-history backstory to drive the visitor experience. Upon delivery of Earthstory's Visitor Experience package, Pico Play commenced the construction process to bring our conceptual designs to fruition.

Dreamworld accolades:
"A heartfelt thank you to Dene and Dan from Earthstory for their extraordinary contribution to Dreamworld’s Rivertown precinct. Their ability to work within an unconventional brief and elevate it to new heights has been truly inspiring.

As CEO Greg Yong expressed:
'Earth Story developed an incredibly rich narrative and detailed creative blueprint that has elevated the entire precinct. Their work on the Jungle Rush temple theming, the Murrissippi Motors track layout and themed environment, and Jane's Rivertown Restaurant demonstrates both technical excellence and creative vision. Their ability to embrace our existing direction, while adding significant creative value, showcases why Earth Story are leaders in themed entertainment design.'

Thank you, Earthstory, for shaping what is one of Dreamworld’s most immersive environments yet!"
