Dreamworld Tower

Dreamworld Tower, Ride tower at Dreamworld theme park in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

Dreamworld Tower is a 119-metre tower at the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast, designed and manufactured by Intamin at a cost above A$1 million. It was the first tower of its kind to carry more than one amusement ride, hosting the Giant Drop and the former Tower of Terror II. A staircase inside runs to the top for maintenance crews.

The tower was built in 1997 as part of a major expansion of the theme park. Its opening marked a turning point when the park began offering more extreme and intense rides.

The tower's name is tied to the two rides it carries: the Giant Drop, which suspends riders about 40 seconds before releasing them, and the Tower of Terror II, which ran until 3 November 2019. Visitors can watch both from the ground, and the tower is visible with the naked eye from Coochiemudlo Island, 36 km away in Moreton Bay.

The tower stands inside the Dreamworld park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and can be seen with the naked eye from Coochiemudlo Island in Moreton Bay, 36 kilometres away, when conditions allow. From the main beach there, a sugar mill chimney near Jacobs' Well appears to the left of the tower and can be mistaken for it. The Giant Drop holds riders suspended for about 40 seconds before the drop.

The structure pioneered combining two completely different rides within a single tower. This innovative design made it a milestone in how theme parks could build attractions.
