History

The area of Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland was first known as Village Oval. In 2000, the northern portion of Village Oval became Kennyland, a themed area based around Kenny Koala, one of the park's mascots.[2] In 2004 Dreamworld partnered with Nickelodeon and opened the Nickelodeon Central themed area, replacing Kennyland. In 2012, Nickelodeon Central was replaced with the DreamWorks Experience area.[3]

On 24 November 2022, Dreamworld announced a $55m investment to the park, which included Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland, a new themed area to replace the existing DreamWorks Experience area.[4][5] The area is expected to receive rebranded and refurbished rides and attractions as well as new attractions under the Bananas in Pyjamas, Play School, The Wiggles and traditional Dreamworld branding. Only two attractions from ABC Kids World were moved into the new area.[1]
