There is a new dispute over the Dreamworld Thunder River Rapids tragedy, with workplace safety watchdog WorkCover taking legal action against the engineer who allegedly said the ride was safe the day before the incident.
Four people were infamously killed on the Gold Coast ride on October 25, 2016 when a raft flipped, causing the passengers inside to be tipped on to a conveyor belt.
Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett, Roozbeh Araghi and Cindy Low all died as a result of the incident.
The Thunder River Rapids was permanently closed and Dreamworld's parent company, Ardent Leisure, was convicted and fined $3.6m after pleading guilty to three workplace health and safety charges in 2020.
