| Personally this ride is quite THE BEST!!!!!!! It is so not 'Terror' like its title, it is heaps fun, if you goto dreamworld GO ON IT!!!!! |
| When you've got a need for speed, the only way to quench it is aboard the fastest, tallest ride in the world. The Tower of Terror hits speeds of 160 kph and stretches an incredible 38 storeys straight into the air. The Tower's electro-magnetically powered 'Escape Pod' accelerates its passengers to a world record 161km per hour in just 7 seconds. Hurtling from the metallic gloom of an 11-metre high skull into bright daylight, you'll be terrified as the track begins curving straight up the 115-metre tower. Once it's reached the top, take a second to admire the spectacular views before freefalling backwards all the way to the bottom of the tower! Definition of Terror 600 tonnes of steel Plus 2.2 megawatts of power Plus 160 kph Plus 38 storeys Plus 100 metre vertical free-fall backward EQUALS Tower of Terror Tower of Power - Really Fast Facts The 2.2 megawatts of power used at take-off is enough to supply a small town and for these six seconds, Dreamworld's power usage in the park doubles. Riders experience 6.5 seconds of weightlessness. The 'L'-shaped track stretches 330 metres horizontally - or the equivalent of three football fields. The ride is propelled by electro-magnetic forces. |
