Town of Gold Rush, Themed area in Dreamworld, Gold Coast, Australia
Town of Gold Rush occupies a section of Dreamworld theme park with streets and buildings that represent an Australian mining settlement from the 1800s.
The area opened in 1986 as Gold Rush Country and underwent substantial modifications in 2011, including a name change to align with new attractions.
The themed land depicts the historical period when gold discoveries transformed Australian society and brought settlers from different regions to seek fortune.
Visitors can experience multiple rides, including Steel Taipan, a triple-launch roller coaster that reaches speeds among the highest in Australian theme parks.
The area features structures and design elements that recreate the architectural details of nineteenth-century Australian mining settlements.
