Five possible replacements for Dreamworld's Reef Diver

With the closure of Reef Diver, Dreamworld are set to install a new flat ride in its place later this year. We share a few of the current trends in flat rides around the world for a few rides that could help turn the tired Ocean Parade at Dreamworld into a modern flat ride precinct.

1. STARFLYER

2. GERSTLAUER SKY ROLLER

3. GERSTLAUER SKY FLY

4. MACK TWIST 'N' SPLASH 5-7

5. HUSS TOPPLE TOWER

1 - This would be my preferred option. It can entertain the whole family whilst not being another spin-n-spew.

2 - The vomit. Oh god the vomit. No thanks. Plus the people who lose their lunch on the ride could rain it down from above.

3 - This could be good. It can cater for most people.

4 - If you only watch between 0:05 and 0:06 it completely changes the "Twist 'n' splash" element to the video. (But also no because how long until DW remove the water on that one?)

5 - Looks like fun, with whatever legal stuff when on overseas, are they even made any more?

5. HUSS TOPPLE TOWER

1. I'm 97% sure it will be this, although I don't think it would go very well as a big 9, unless it's very, very tall.

2. That would actually be so cool. I would definitely ride it. reanimiated, remember you could choose how intense you'd want it to be. That guy in the video obviously wanted to go around 100000 times.

3. Looks just as good, if not better.

4. NO. JUST NO. IF THEY PUT THAT IN I WILL NEVER VISIT DREAMWORLD AGAIN (ok maybe I will, but that is a terrible idea).

5. If they could pass the legal aspect it could be fun. I would still prefer one of 2 or 3 though.

This article seems to be a bit irrelevant now

Why? have they announced it? (haven't seen anything myself...)

No but after what has come out of the Dreamworld 2014 thread none of these ideas seem very likely

do we actually have any proof of it being a power surge?

Surely it's not. I will be genuinely shocked if DreamWorld has to resort to carnival rides (yes I'm aware the Zamperla Air Race can also be transported) to bring about a Big 9.

do we actually have any proof of it being a power surge?

Nope, and I still say it won't be.

I hope you're right - if you want a power surge, you can go to the ekka. they need to get something more unique if they want to draw in crowds

I personally can't see Dreamworld getting a power surge. I think they will get a star flyer.

It better be pretty tall... otherwise it'll be less 'big 9' than the motocoaster...

What height do you think it needs to be for it to be classed as a Thrill Ride.

It better be pretty tall... otherwise it'll be less 'big 9' than the motocoaster...

That makes no sense though. Heck you could even say that it is Motocoasters height off the ground which helps ruin it. Height alone has nothing to do with whether a ride is classed as a "thrill ride" or not.

Sorry, had to:

I thought the height thing was in reference to a star flyer and in that context it makes a good deal of sense. I mean there's a big difference between a 100meter tall Star-flyer and the Zumer.

Yep - Joz is right... the height comment was related to the star flyer suggestion...

whats that pink stuff on the ground in the third pic?

looks like water with flowers

Coloured Water to look like Nemesis' blood or something?

Yeah my thoughts were coloured water.

Just had a look on youtube, definitely coloured water.
