Reef Diver was an Enterprise amusement ride in the Ocean Parade section of Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. [1] [2]
Reef Diver opened in the County Fair section of Dreamworld in 1983. At that time it operated under the name Enterprise. [1] [3] [4] In 2000, the actual ride from Schwarzkopf Industries was replaced with a new one from Meisho. [1] In 2002, Ocean Parade was expanded to encompass the remaining rides in County Fair. The processed involved the renaming and retheming of the ride to Reef Diver. [1] [5] [6] On 28 April 2014, Reef Diver closed and was subsequently removed. [1]
The Reef Diver is an Enterprise ride. [1] Two riders sit inline in each of 20 gondolas arranged in an 18.3-metre (60 ft) circle. [1] [7] The ride spins clockwise at speeds of up to 60 km/h (37 mph), [1] dispelling a slight amount of centrifugal force. [7] A hydraulically powered arm underneath the ride then raises and tilts the frame so that the ride is rotating at 87° from the horizontal, transforming the ride from a horizontal experience to a nearly vertical one. [7] The Reef Diver features no safety restraints as the centrifugal force applied to the riders is sufficient to keep them pinned in their seats. [7] [8] Riders can experience up to 3 times the force of gravity during the ride. [1]
