Gold Reef City, Historical amusement park in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Gold Reef City spans 45 acres and contains 16 thrill rides, 7 family attractions, and 21 children's activities within a Victorian-era mining settlement environment.
The park stands on the grounds of a former gold mine that ceased operations in 1971, preserving structures and equipment from South Africa's 1886 gold rush period.
The complex incorporates educational exhibits about mining heritage, including demonstrations of gold pouring techniques and access to original mining tunnels at specific depths.
The theme park provides 12 dining locations, multiple retail stores, and secured parking facilities, with operating hours extending throughout the day for optimal visitor convenience.
The Tower of Terror roller coaster generates the strongest g-force of any operational coaster, reaching 6.3g while plunging riders into a reconstructed mine shaft.
