[5] Nickelodeon Central opened on 26 December 2002 as the largest children's area in an Australian theme park.

[9][10][11] Towards the middle of 2011, elements of Nickelodeon theming started to be removed leading to speculation that the contract with the television network was being terminated.

[15] On 10 November 2011, Dreamworld officially announced a three-stage plan to incorporate DreamWorks Animation films and characters into its theme park.

The final phase will be the development of an eating and meet-and-greet area called Kung Fu garden.

[17] In late 2011, construction of the DreamWorks Experience precinct began with the removal of the photo shop and the adjacent Remota Boats in Main Street.

[19] Swinger Zinger, Mighty-Go-Round, Sky Rocket, Rainforest Rampage and Kite Flyer were all closed pending their retheme into DreamWorks Animation.

[27] The replacement attraction was part of Kung Fu Panda: Land of Awesomeness and its opening marked the final stage of the DreamWorks Experience.

Shrek's Treats is a small food outlet located in the centre of the DreamWorks Experience precinct.
