Australia Theme Park Ends 'Tiger Walks'

Gold Coast: Dreamworld has axed its Tiger Walk Experience with the theme park planning on replacing it with another animal-themed attraction involving the park's 14 Sumatran and Bengal tigers.

Tiger walks have been offered by Dreamworld for more than 10 years and cost $695 for up to five people to walk with a tiger.

A spokeswoman for Ardent Leisure CEO Greg Shaw said the new experience, expected to be announced this week, was not offered anywhere else in Australia.

She said while the tiger walks were still generating daily bookings it was past its use-by date and put pressure on limited staff numbers.

Dreamworld is no longer taking bookings for the tiger walks but will honour all existing bookings until the end of the year.
