Dreamworld's parent company Ardent Leisure says it has been charged over the 2016 theme park tragedy that killed four people when the Thunder River Rapids ride malfunctioned, causing two rafts to collide at the Gold Coast theme park.

Dreamworld's parent company Ardent Leisure has been charged over the 2016 theme park tragedy that killed four people when the Thunder River Rapids ride malfunctioned, causing two rafts to collide at the Gold Coast theme park.

In a statement to the Australian stock exchange, Ardent Leisure said three charges had been filed against the company in the Brisbane Magistrates Court under the Work Health and Safety Act. In February, a coroner found the design and construction of the ride posed a "significant risk" to patrons' safety and that the park's safety and maintenance systems were "frighteningly unsophisticated".A boy and girl, aged 10 and 12, were on the same raft but managed to escape.

Until the first ceo starts doing some lengthy prison time nothing will. Change. Senior managers just walk away with all their entitlements and start a position somewhere else.

Good friend, was asked to tender for the maintenance on key equipment at this business. Declined, as said; 'the safety culture was 'toxic' and it was about how 'cheap' can you do maintenance on the key equipment'. Certainly not interested in safety. Sadly, they will now.

Good!
