    Four people have died in an accident on the Thunder Rivers Rapids family ride at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast.

    Two men and two women aged from 32 through to their early 40s were killed when the theme park ride malfunctioned this afternoon, Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman Gavin Fuller said.

    "One of the rides had sustained some sort of malfunction causing two people to be ejected from the ride," he said.

    Live 20 minutes away, so sad to be honest I used to love that ride as a kid... Honestly seems like the least harmful ride there. Devastated to hear the news :/

    update: it was a different ride. the ride this happened is a man made stream where you literally FLOAT down the stream. it's like just a relaxing ride not one for a thrill. literally got no idea how they could have possibly died

    I'm not disputing it I'm just saying it was.

    If it's a floating carriage or whatever down the water or whatever I'm curious what the malfunction could've been.
