A mother has shared her terrifying experience at Dreamworld when she and her three year-old-son visited the theme park only weeks ago.
Alicia told 2dayFM radio hosts Rove McManus and Sam Frost she took her son on the log ride because she “wanted something quite tame.”
The log ride is located in the same area as the Thunder River Rapids, where four adults were tragically killed on Tuesday.
The mother explained she was apprehensive about allowing her son to go on the ride but says she was assured by attending staff he would be safe so long as he made the height requirement.
“So we put him up against the measuring thing and he was a good 10-15cm taller and she said ‘oh, he’s fine’,” she said.

From the woman's description she's actually referring to the Wild West Falls ride at Movie World, not the Dreamworld Log Ride.
The Log Ride doesn't have a metal bar and doesn't drop you backwards, Wild West Falls does.
There's actually no metal bar on the log ride at Dreamworld. And it doesn't go backwards. Sounds like someone trying to get their 15 mins off the back of a tragedy.
