Mac Leisure Goes Global

Yesterday Macquarie Leisure, the owners of Dreamworld, announced plans to expand into the international market with the acquisition of 17 adult entertainment complexes in the US.

Representative’s from the Australian company said Macquarie have been interested in the adult entertainment industry for a few years now, and also announced plans to expand the risqué business into Australia.

“The acquisition of 17 strip clubs provides an exceptional growth platform into the US adult entertainment market for Macquarie Leisure,” said Chairman Neil Balnaves. “The acquisition will also help to expand and develop the Australian adult entertainment industry.
“We’re even looking to transform our current theme park, Dreamworld, into Australia’s largest adult entertainment complex. In fact, we’ve already purchased the Gerbil-Coaster from Sexpo, and are looking at the possibility of transforming the Wiggles Big Red Car ride into a ‘Turkey-Slap
themed dark ride.”

Balnaves also said extensive research has been conducted into the US market. “This was no overnight decision. My colleagues and I have been regularly visiting these establishments for ‘market-research’ purposes.”

The controversial announcement has sparked outrage on online message boards. “They can’t just turn Dreamworld into a huge strip club! I’m proposing a petition and full boycott of Dreamworld until these plans are scrapped,” said theme-park fan Jeremy Wilson.

Dreamworld management were contacted, but refused to comment on the issue.
