Welcome to Dreamworld Gold Coast – one of the largest theme parks in Australia, where every ride is a test of your “daring” level! From afar, you can hear the wind whistling and screams echoing around the steel tracks. Inside, a series of rides await: free fall, 360-degree spin, mid-air somersaults – just reading the nameplate will make your heart beat faster.
Dreamworld Ticket in Gold Coast
And trust me, you won’t just scream out of fear – you’ll also scream out of… joy! Let’s take a look at the 8 most thrilling rides at Dreamworld Gold Coast with #teamKlook, where every drop is an “adrenaline upgrade” that you won’t forget.
Steel Taipan – Triple-Stage Roller Coaster “Steel Snake”
If you can only choose one ride to try at Dreamworld, it has to be Steel Taipan – the “star” of the park. This is Australia’s first triple-launch roller coaster, capable of accelerating to over 100 km/h, rushing through spiral tracks, then inverting your body 360 degrees in just a split second.
The special thing is the “tail whip” at the end of the track – where you feel like you’re thrown off your seat and then free-falling in a chaotic heartbeat. Literally “you scream and want to ride again right away”.
Tip: Sitting in the back row will feel the most twisting force and speed – for those who are really brave!
The Giant Drop – The Highest Freefall Ride in the Southern Hemisphere
Just standing at the foot of The Giant Drop, looking up at a height of more than 100 meters, you will feel your heart start to… skip a beat. This game once held the Guinness World Record as the “highest freefall in the world”, and to this day is still a legend of Dreamworld.
You will be pulled to the top of the tower, overlooking the brilliant Gold Coast. But don’t stare too long – because after just one second, the seat floor disappears and you fall straight to the ground at a speed of more than 130 km/h! It feels like everything around is left behind, only the wind and the screams of the sky.
The Gold Coaster – A Challenging Classic Roller Coaster
Without modern technology or lighting effects, The Gold Coaster is always on the list of “must-try” games at Dreamworld.
Born in the 1980s, this golden roller coaster has been upgraded to bring a feeling that is both “classic” and “crazy” in the true sense.
2 Day Pass for Dreamworld & SkyPoint
The train rushes at a speed of more than 80 km/h, then suddenly twists your head in two consecutive loops. At the first steep drop, anyone with a weak heart will definitely scream until they can’t breathe. The front row seats give you the best view, while the middle row is a bit “softer” if you are traveling with older children or people who are new to this game.
Tail Spin – Self-Controlled Flying Game in the Air
If you have ever dreamed of controlling a real plane, then Tail Spin is the chance to try that feeling – except this “plane” can rotate continuously! You will sit in a small plane-shaped compartment, suspended 22 meters in the air, then rotate around the axis at extremely fast speed. The interesting thing is that you can control the rudder to make the plane roll as much or as little as you like – the more you dare to spin, the more “cool” it is! This game not only tests your courage but also your ability to maintain balance. Are you “strong” enough to try?!
Shockwave – U-shaped Disc Sliding Ride
Movie World, Sea World, Wet’n’Wild, Paradise Country Gold Coast Multi-Day Pass
As the name suggests, Shockwave is a real whirlwind! You will sit on a giant disc, spinning around its axis while the entire disc slides back and forth on a giant U-shaped track. It feels like you are riding a giant wave in the middle of the ocean – except… this wave never stops! The game reaches speeds of over 50 km/h, with a very strong rotation in the middle that will make everyone scream loudly.
Tip: Don’t eat a full meal before playing Shockwave – you will thank this advice after 5 consecutive spins!
Motocoaster – High Speed Motorcycle Racing Simulation Roller Coaster
Gold Coast Sea World Entry Ticket
No need for a driver’s license, you can still be a real “racer” with Motocoaster – a roller coaster that simulates the feeling of motorcycle racing. You sit on a “vehicle” shaped exactly like a real motorcycle, lean forward, grip the handlebars tightly, and then shoot! – the track takes you through continuous turns at speeds of more than 70 km/h.
What makes Motocoaster different is the extremely realistic playing position. The feeling of leaning, accelerating, and then gliding through the turns like a GP racer makes everyone excited. This is also the most “pleasant thrill” game on the list – fast enough, exciting enough, but not too “scary”.
Serpent Slayer – Multi-directional Tilt Ride for Thrill-seekers
Wet n Wild Water Park Entry Ticket
Just hearing the name makes you shiver, right? Serpent Slayer is a ride for the truly brave, as you are constantly tilted, swayed and feel waves of “g-force” pressing down on your body. The chair rotates around its axis at high speed, taking you up – down – spinning – flipping non-stop, simulating the feeling of fighting a “giant snake in the air”. Don’t close your eyes – because the view of the entire Dreamworld area from above is so beautiful that you will regret missing it.
Jungle Rush – Jungle Adventure Roller Coaster
Ending the list is a brand new but extremely popular game – Jungle Rush, located in the newly opened Rivertown area. Different from pure speed thrill rides, Jungle Rush combines a light roller coaster and an adventure journey in the forest.
You will cross a waterfall, wind around a giant tree trunk, and then suddenly fall into a dark tunnel with vivid sound effects like in a movie. The game has elements of surprise, light falls, and light twists – enough to “shake your heart” but still suitable for families or groups of friends who want to try moderate thrills.
Some Tips When Playing Thrill Rides at Dreamworld Gold Coast Park
Go early to avoid long lines: “Hot” rides like Steel Taipan or The Giant Drop are usually the most crowded from 11am to 2pm. Come to the park right when it opens (around 10am) to play comfortably and take beautiful photos without being crowded.
Before the spins, flips or free-fall rides, you should only eat a light meal or drink water in moderation. Trust me, no one wants to “remember forever” their lunch while in mid-air.
Dreamworld has automatic lockers near most of the rides. Leave your bags, phones, glasses, and hats before boarding the roller coaster to avoid losing them.
The Gold Coast is very sunny, especially in the summer. Bring a small bottle of water and apply sunscreen before queuing outdoors.
Choose a row of seats that suits your “toughness” level
- Front row: beautiful view, most powerful feeling.
- Middle row: stable, suitable for beginners.
- Back row: extremely fast and twisting force!
Each ride has an automatic camera to capture the “screaming in joy” moment. Guaranteed you will laugh and remember it forever when you watch it again.
Going in a group is more fun! Scream together, laugh together, and… tease each other when the other is scared to death – that’s the ultimate Dreamworld experience!
