Rocky Hollow, Water attraction in Gold Coast, Australia
Rocky Hollow is a sub-themed area of Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, part of Gold Rush Country and linked to Dreamworld Corroboree. Its centrepiece is the Rocky Hollow Log Ride, a log flume built in-house by Dreamworld with overseas engineers: groups of four ride a four-and-a-half-minute channel course in and out of buildings before a lift hill and a 50 km/h drop that soaks everyone.
Rocky Hollow opened with Dreamworld in 1981, when its only attraction was the Rocky Hollow Log Ride, a log flume built in-house by the park with help from overseas engineers. In 1998 the Giant Drop, a 120-metre free-fall ride made by Intamin, opened on the Dreamworld Tower in the area. During the 2010s Rocky Hollow was folded into the Gold Rush Country themed area.
Rocky Hollow opened with Dreamworld in 1981, and its log ride was designed and built in-house by the park with help from overseas engineers. The area's name comes from the rocky channel the boats pass through. The Giant Drop, made by Intamin, shares its tower with the Tower of Terror.
Rocky Hollow is reached by the Dreamworld Express, whose Rocky Hollow stop is the fourth and final one before the train returns to Main Street. The area holds only on-ride photo shops for the Giant Drop and the Log Ride; the former food and drink outlet has been converted into the Log Ride photo store.
The Giant Drop, added to Rocky Hollow in 1998, accelerates riders to 135 kilometers per hour from a height of 120 meters.
