Some of the settlement costs were based on Cindy Low’s plan to start a full-time role in administration at a large commercial and real estate firm, with an above-average salary plus bonuses. The Low family decided to split up during their visit to Dreamworld on 25 October 2016 because Kieran wanted to ride the Thunder River Rapids for a second time.“I saw Kieran sitting outside the Ride’s entrance with staff looking very distressed. I was told ‘the paramedics are with Cindy’,” Low said in his affidavit.
