Rides, rides, and more rides
Dreamworld's Big 9 Thrill Rides
Experience the Big 9 Thrill Rides! As Australia's largest theme park, Dreamworld is of course home to some of the tallest, fastest and most action-packed rides in the world with spins, twists, dives, special effects and incredible speeds and heights making for a very fun-filled day for young and old!



Adrenaline junkies will want to test their metal by braving each of the Big 9 thrill rides:
- BuzzSaw - Seated in an open carriage, you will be held in a single waist harness with little to cling on to. This white-knuckle ride starts with a suspenseful 46m vertical ascent that will have you instantly wishing you were back on the ground.
- The Claw - Sink your talons into some real terror on Dreamworld’s latest scream machine. You'll be propelled 9 stories high, swinging up to 75km/h while spinning 360 degrees on this giant Gyro Swing. It will scare you to shreds!
- Tail Spin - Prepare for a takeoff like never before - you'll be strapped into one of twelve mini aeroplanes that soar to a whopping 72 feet. Grab the controls for some pumping air tricks or sit back for the scenic ride.
- Wipeout - Get ready for five minutes of being spun, twisted and tumbled through a body-wrenching range of dumping breakers. The Wipeout is framed by a giant crashing wave and is the mother of all tidal waves.
- Pandamonium - a ride that has a split personality! Thrill seekers will go round and round, side to side and upside down at up to 3.8 G-forces. Soaring 8 metres high under the watchful eyes of the mighty dragon, only true thrill seekers will be able to outlast these 150 seconds of kung-furious pandemonium.
- Tower of Terror II - Test the tonsils on one of the fastest coasters in the world. The Tower's electro-magnetically powered 'Escape Pod' accelerates its passengers to a massive 160 kph in seven seconds before it climbs to almost 38 storeys high
- The Giant Drop - Listed as the tallest vertical free-fall ride in the world (119 metres) in the Guinness Book of World Records. Plummet back to Earth at terminal speed. It’s the closest thing you’ll get to jumping out of a plane!
- Mick Doohan's Motocoaster - Dreamworld has teamed up with one of the greatest names in motorbike racing history - five-time 500cc World Champion and World Record Holder Mick Doohan - to bring the thrill and exhilaration of motoracing to the masses with Australia’s first motorbike rollercoaster.
- Hot Wheels SideWinder - One of the tallest, high-speed gravity rollercoasters in the Southern Hemisphere. Speed through a reverse sidewinder and 360-degree loop over 13 stories of revved-up, heart-thumping fun!
There's no other theme park in the country (not even Movie World) with more rides in one spot, each as unique as the next. They each come with their own height, weight and age restrictions, so make sure to refer to the individual signage displayed at each ride.
Adventure lovers need not look further than Dreamworld to get their pulses pumping!
Dreamworld Family Rides

For moderate thrill seekers, check out the Escape from Madagascar rollercoaster and Shockwave which has you plunging and climbing while circling round and round.
