Ocean Parade

Ocean Parade, Amusement park section in Gold Coast, Australia

Ocean Parade is a themed land at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It has an Australian beach culture theme and contains three of Dreamworld's Big 7 Thrill Rides: The Claw, an Intamin Gyro Swing; The Gold Coaster, a steel roller coaster; and Tail Spin, a Gerstlauer Sky Fly. The area links Main Street, Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland, and the WhiteWater World water park.

Ocean Parade opened in 1993, replacing the northern end of Country Fair, and later expanded over the rest of that area. The Claw arrived in September 2004, requiring redesigned pathways, dining and merchandise shops. A park-hop entrance to WhiteWater World opened in 2006, and Tail Spin replaced Reef Diver in 2014. A $50m expansion announced in November 2022 absorbed the former Kung Fu Panda sub-area.

The land's beach theme shows in details visitors can spot: The Gold Coaster reopened on 20 December 2020 with a circa 1970s Gold Coast look, and Deep Sea Dodgems reopened on 1 September 2023 fitted with props from the Henry the Octopus section of the Big Red Car Ride. Kickback Cove, opened in November 2019, reuses the covered queue and theming of the former Wipeout.

Ocean Parade runs between Main Street, Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland and the WhiteWater World water park, and since 2006 has held a park-hop gate into WhiteWater World. The Claw's 2004 installation forced the main path, dining and merchandise shops to be redesigned. For a seated break, Kickback Cove (November 2019) has picnic tables, umbrellas and deck chairs.

The Gold Coaster, opened in 2001, was then the tallest high-speed gravity steel roller coaster in the Southern Hemisphere. Deep Sea Dodgems dates from 1983, when it opened with the adjacent Game Site arcade; it reopened on 1 September 2023 with props from the Henry the Octopus section of the Big Red Car Ride.
