Families return as Dreamworld reopens

"We've been respectful about why it's been closed, we're here to

support the families as well as Dreamworld" - local pass holder Kim

Brezac.

"We've been waiting for the last six weeks to attend this grand event"

- local couple and die-hard fans Craig and Deborah McGill.

"We're local pass holders, we come normally twice a week. We've been

waiting six long weeks to come today, we wanted to support the park" -

local pass holders Steve and Medi Horan.

"Dreamworld is like a family, we have more than 1,000 team members and

a fantastically supportive local community. It was fantastic to see

the support there, it felt like it was a normal Saturday morning at

Dreamworld" - CEO Craig Davidson.

"I'm here in my shorts and t-shirt with my three sons. Notwithstanding

the tragedy it's great to see the park back up and running" - federal

tourism minister Steven Ciobo.

"Dreamworld has had a difficult time but I want to acknowledge all the

staff who have worked so hard. Today is a day of hope and moving

forward" - Queensland minister for education and tourism Kate Jones.
