History
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 an new one from HUSS Park Attractions.[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]
Ride
The Reef Diver is an Enterprise ride.[1] Two riders sit inline in each of 20 gondolas arranged in a 18.3-metre (60 ft) circle.[1][7] The ride spins clockwise at speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour (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]
