“It’s one of Australia’s most iconic tourist attractions and to promote the Wahs like this is huge, with so many New Zealanders living on the Gold Coast and in South East Queensland,” George said.
“Working together with Dreamworld is going to bring so much energy and fun, and a chance for Wahs fans to come together.”

Greg Yong, CEO of Dreamworld, said the park’s aim was to bring people together through shared experiences.
“The Warriors are one of the hottest clubs in the NRL right now, with one of the most passionate fanbases in the game,” Yong said.
“Wahsworld is about giving those fans a reason to make a full day of it – celebrating their team in a way that feels fun, welcoming and unmistakably us.
“Wahsworld is about celebrating the passion of the Warriors’ fanbase, creating new reasons to visit, and delivering an experience that feels fun, welcoming and uniquely us.”
The park will also transform on game day, which has discounted entry on offer for anyone with a New Zealand passport or a Warriors membership, with fans being invited to walk down its main street behind flags and drums followed by a watch party for the game.
The week leading up to the match will have “Wahsworld” brandishing the club’s colours, badge and see mascots roaming about alongside pop-up stores and a night market with Kiwi-inspired food, music and celebrations.

The Titans lost 28-20 to the Warriors in Auckland earlier this season in April, thanks to winger Alofiana Khan-Pereira scoring a double against his former club.
The Warriors still have to play the Wests Tigers, Dragons and Bulldogs before their return fixture against the Titans on the Gold Coast, with the New Zealand-based side looking to solidify their finals spot as the competition reaches the latter part of the season.
Fans will be seeing one of their own play for the Gold Coast Titans next season, after rookie Luke Hanson confirmed he’ll make the switch to the Australian side at the end of the year.
