Two men and two women died in the accident on Tuesday at Dreamworld, a park on Queensland state’s Gold Coast, Queensland Police Assistant Commissioner Brian Codd said. The Thunder River Rapids ride whisks people in circular rafts along a fast-moving, artificial river, with a conveyor belt helping move the rafts through the water. Closed-circuit television footage showed the ride was coming to its conclusion when two rafts collided, Codd said. Kim Dorsett, of Canberra, confirmed that two of the victims were her children: Kate Goodchild, 32, and Luke Dorsett, 35. Thunder River is considered one of Dreamworld’s tamer, family-friendly rides, and is open to children as young as 2.
