The Government has announced new and improved theme park safety measures after the Dreamworld tragedy of October 2016.
Major ride inspections by qualified engineers will strip down rides for weeks at a time every ten years to ensure maximum safety. A new safety and licensing system will be introduced and the training of ride operators will also be improved. Those who fail to follow the new regulations will face large fines.
Industrial Relations Minister Grace Grace says acts are starting now to ensure amusement rides in Queensland are as safe as possible.
