A mother whose recent trip to Dreamworld was plagued with issues is furious the attraction continued to operate.
Kim, 43, told News Corp she and her husband became stuck on the ‘Thunder River Rapids’ alongside their seven-year-old daughter and four-year-old son only two weeks ago.
The graphic designer is just one of several people to have come forward since the lives of four adults were taken when the ‘Thunder River Rapids’ malfunctioned on Tuesday.
Kim told the news outlet her own raft became lodged at the beginning of the ride due to an issue with the water levels.
“I’d been on the ride before and I noticed even before I got on that the water was lower,” she said.
“The attendant told us to keep trying to rock it to get it moving.”
The mother-of-two said she had been comforting her daughter ever since as the seven-year-old became spooked after travelling through the dark tunnels.
“I’ve spent two weeks reassuring her that they don’t make rides that people can get hurt on so there was nothing to worry about. I now feel like the worst parent ever,” she said.
“I don’t want to tell them two kids watched their parents killed on it.”
The 43-year-old accused the theme park of knowing about an issue in the water levels two weeks ago.
“Dreamworld knew there was a water level issue two weeks ago — I’m so angry with them for their negligence, for what’s occurred to the families involved and for putting my family at risk,” she said.

I've already had it up to here with these people coming forward (i.e. to news outlets) about their own 'traumatic' experiences. The things people do for two seconds of fame actually makes me sick. If you want to raise a genuine concern contact the police or park management or any of the hundreds of people I am sure are involved in this - don't go gossiping to some greedy news network.
