Tower of Terror II review by jake_hunt

by jake_hunt, 7 years ago
Rated 3.5 While it is inefficient and the queues are ingloriously long, the ride is super-thrilling and action-packed for the 30 seconds it takes up of your life. Worth a ride, maybe not two.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Amazing

One of my favourites. Jam-packed, adrenalin-pumping, white-knuckle, and unbeaten for these aspects so far on the Gold Coast. What a thrill!

Effectiveness Very Good

Well... I've given it the benefit of the doubt on this one. Its short ride time and ridiculous queue time are arguments for some ineffectiveness, but overall it is marketed as a high-speed, high-thrill, 30-second adrenalin rush, and that it certainly is.

Intensity Very High

With the exception of BuzzSaw and The Giant Drop, this is the only ride at Dreamworld that I really consider an out-and-out thrill ride. It's fast, it's extreme, it's high, and there's massive air-time. Love it!

Rider Comfort Very Good

The track is less than smooth, but that's to be expected of a 20-year-old ride doing 160km/h. Particularly with the upgrade, the seats are comfortable and the ride doesn't hurt.

Pacing Good

While it's thrilling, the attraction is ridiculously short for what is often one of the longest queues in the park. I guess this is a problem that cannot be averted, but it really takes away from the experience.

Theming/Storyline Average

What. The. Hell. What is even going on with the theming? None of it makes sense, there's lots of random stuff out of place, and the whole theme seems to just be... science... engineering... stuff...

Upkeep/Presentation Good

Well, it could be better, but generally the upkeep is pretty good. It's not the prettiest ride in the park, but it's fairly well kept.

Queue/Efficiency Average

Goodness gracious me. The system? It's not working. The shortest queue I have ever seen for this ride (granted I always travel in peak season) was about 20 minutes. For a 30-second ride. If it wasn't for the fact that this is one of the best on the Coast, it would not be worth riding.
