DreamWorks Experience is a themed land at the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It replaced the existing children's area at the park which has previously been themed to Nickelodeon and themed generically. The DreamWorks Experience officially opened on 31 March 2012. ==History== The area which ''DreamWorks Experience'' currently occupies was originally known as ''Village Green'' when it opened in 1983.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottware.com.au/theme/dream/logos_maps_etc/map2.JPG )〕 In 1998, the area was renamed to ''Village Oval''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottware.com.au/theme/dream/logos_maps_etc/map8.JPG )〕 In 1999, the northern end of Village Oval was redesigned to become ''Kennyland''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottware.com.au/theme/dream/logos_maps_etc/map9.JPG )〕 In early 2002, Kennyland was removed and most of Village Oval was fenced off. Some of the children's rides were moved to ''Rivertown'' to allow for the construction of ''Nickelodeon Central''. During that year the leftover rides were rethemed and relocated to their current positions as part of ''Nickelodeon Central''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parkz.com.au/parks/AU/Gold_Coast/Dreamworld/rides/21-Nickelodeon-Central.html )〕 Nickelodeon Central opened on 26 December 2002 as the largest children's area in an Australian theme park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Schools/pdf/DW-Schools-History.pdf )〕 In 2008, SpongeBob FlyPants (now Gingy's Glider) opened to expand Nickelodeon Central's offerings. Towards the middle of 2011, elements of Nickelodeon theming started to be removed leading to speculation that the contract with the television network was being terminated. By the start of the winter holidays on 25 June 2011, all of the rides were renamed to a generic interim kids theme: ''Kid's World''. In October 2011, the former Nick Pics building and the Remota Boats area were demolished with work beginning on a replacement building on the Nick Pics site. Earlier in 2011, the outgoing CEO of Dreamworld, Noel Dempsey, leaked Dreamworld's plans to team up with DreamWorks Animation on his LinkedIn profile page. On 10 November 2011, Dreamworld officially announced a three-stage plan to incorporate DreamWorks Animation films and characters into its theme park. The first phase, set to open 19 December 2011, was the ''DreamWorks Holiday Shrektacular Show'' which featured 8 DreamWorks Animation characters live on stage. The second phase will include the retheming of Dreamworld's kids area, Kid's World, into a DreamWorks Experience precinct. This phase is set to open in Easter 2012. The final phase will be the development of an eating and meet-and-greet area called Kung Fu garden. The three phases are expected to cost $10 million to complete. In late 2011, construction of the DreamWorks Experience precinct began with the removal of the photo shop and the adjacent Remota Boats in Main Street. On 1 February 2012 following the peak season, Dreamworld closed most of the rides in Kid's World. Swinger Zinger, Mighty-Go-Round, Sky Rocket, Rainforest Rampage and Kite Flyer were all closed pending their retheme into DreamWorks Animation.〔 During this time, two temporary rides named Mini-Swingers (SBF Visa Group Circus Swing) and Choppers (SBF Visa Group Chopper Train) operated in Ocean Parade near The Claw and AVPX, respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sbfrides.com/production.asp?famID=3&catID=26&prodID=332&prodname=CHOPPER_TRAIN )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sbfrides.com/production.asp?famID=3&catID=19&prodID=102&prodname=CIRCUS_SWING )〕 In February 2012, Dreamworld announced that the DreamWorks Experience precinct would originally consist of two areas (''Madagascar Madness'' and ''Shrek’s Faire Faire Away'') with a third area (''Kung Fu Panda: Land Of Awesomeness'') to be added later. Names for the rethemed rides were also announced. On 31 March 2012, the DreamWorks Experience officially opened to the public. On 15 July 2012, the Avalanche was closed to make way for a new attraction at the end of the year.〔In-park signage〕 The replacement attraction will be part of Kung Fu Panda: Land Of Awesomeness and its opening will mark the final stage of the DreamWorks Experience.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DreamWorks Experience」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
