Dreamworld's $16-million high-tech thrill ride, the Tower of Terror will retain its title as "the fastest, tallest ride in the world" despite recent claims made by a United States theme park.
Chief Executive Officer of Dreamworld, Mr. Fred Maybury today dismissed statements made in the media that "Superman the Escape", located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California had exceeded Dreamworld's world speed record as "inaccurate and misleading".
"The fact is, by design, both rides are identical reverse free fall roller coasters and not designed to achieve a speed greater than 161 km/hour (100mph) and operate safely," Maybury said.
This has been confirmed by the ride's manufacturer, Intamin AG of Switzerland.
"Dreamworld's Tower of Terror is capable of matching or exceeding speeds recorded by the US ride, but for safety reasons Dreamworld chooses not to", Maybury added.
No verification or confirmation has been provided that the Tower of Terror's speed record had been broken other than reports made in the media.
On February 7, 1997 Dreamworld's Tower of Terror officially claimed the world speed record reaching a speed of 161 kilometers per hour (100 mph). The speed was registered on a Police calibrated hand-held Falcon radar gun and verified by a Justice of the Peace."

World's Fastest, Tallest Ride Celebrates 1,000,000th Passenger
Dreamworld’s Tower of Tower, the fastest, tallest ride in the world blasted its one millionth passenger 115 metres high travelling at up to 160 kilometres per hour on Saturday 20 June.
Since opening on January 23, 1997 the high-tech thrill ride has made 66,668 journeys, travelling a distance of 56,668 kilometres - the equivalent distance to almost one-and-a-half trips around the world.
A group of local Camp Quality children and their families were joined by media personalities to start the countdown at a special breakfast at Dreamworld.
Personalities from Seven Gold Coast News, ABC Channel 2, SEA FM and the Gold Coast Bulletin newspaper took on the role of host to the children, with some help from Dreamworld’s in park entertainers.
At 10.55am on Saturday 13-year-old Nicole Frederiksen of Bethania became the lucky Dreamworld guest to become the Tower of Terror’s one millionth passenger.
Nicole is a regular Dreamworld visitor and has experienced the ride more than 30 times. She was pleasantly surprised when presented with a commemorative rider’s suit, cap and Tower of Terror prize pack by SEA FM personality, Sorbent Boy.
Dreamworld’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Fred Maybury said the Tower of Terror has remained the Park’s number one ride since opening last year - appealing to people of all ages and walks of life.
"In fact, over 70 per cent of Dreamworld’s guests experience the 6.5 seconds of weightlessness and 4.5G’s as they free fall backwards."
"We are very proud of the success the ride has enjoyed, particularly when we claimed the world speed record for rollercoasters last year, registering an unprecedented speed of 161 kilometres per hour," Mr Maybury said.
Peaking at 38 storeys high and stretching the equivalent of three football fields across the Park, a state-of-the-art linear motor system propels the ride to maximum speed.
Swiss company Intamin designed the Tower of Terror for Dreamworld, with the Park itself project managing construction of the leading edge thrill ride.

Australia's Biggest Ride to Open at Warner Bros. Movie World
Australia's biggest theme park ride is set to make a huge splash at Warner Bros. Movie World when it opens on December 26 1998.
The $18 million dollar Wild Wild West adventure ride spans a massive 2.8 hectares at Warner Bros. Movie World's themed Western Town area, increasing the size of the park by 20%.
Wild Wild West will take riders on an action-packed six minute adventure into the wild west with more than a few surprises and thrills along the way!
Definitely a ride for cowboys not cowards, Wild Wild West will use state-of-the-art lifts, drops and a never before seen reversing element to create a thrilling experience the whole family can enjoy.
Over a million litres of water will propel riders past ghost towns, geysers, wagon trains and an 'exploding' bridge to put you right in the middle of a western movie set.
The journey leads into a massive man-made mountain, 35 metres high and 420 metres around the base.
Wild Wild West saves the biggest surprise for last - a 70 km per hour, no brakes, 20 metre heart-stopping drop to the final splashdown!
Warner Bros. Movie World General Manager Peter Burrows says creating Wild Wild West is a massive undertaking, involving more than 300 people in the construction project over a period of six months.
"This is the biggest, single investment in a theme park ride Australia has seen to date and a multi-million dollar boost to the tourism industry on the Gold Coast," Mr Burrows said.
"We're very conscious of the need to give visitors new reasons to holiday on the Gold Coast and we're confident that Wild Wild West will draw tourists from throughout Australia and overseas to the region," he said.
Wild Wild West will be the second major attraction constructed at Warner Bros. Movie World in as many years following the launch of Looney Tunes Village in December 1997.
Mr Burrows says the strategy to create new family-based attractions has been a successful one for the theme park.
"Looney Tunes Village continues to deliver new visitors to the park due to the universal allure of the Looney Tunes characters and the broad appeal of the rides and shows in the village," Mr Burrows said.
"We've had nothing but glowing reports about the attraction from our guests, particularly from those with young children.
"At the same time, we also launched the 3D adventure, Marvin the Martian in the 3rd Dimension, which has proved an enormous draw card for guests of all ages as well," he said.

Dreamworld's New Thrill Ride Claims Three World Firsts
The Queensland Premier, Mr Peter Beattie today witnessed the biggest fall in his political career after launching the tallest free fall ride in the world at Dreamworld.
The Giant Drop, Dreamworld's new $12 million high-tech thrill ride created three world firsts on its maiden despatch.
Aside from being the tallest free fall ride in the world, The Giant Drop has created structural design and construction history for rides of this type, sharing the physical tower that supports the fastest, tallest rollercoaster in the world - the Tower of Terror. The dual 8-seater gondolas are being used for the first time on a ride of this height and design.
Peaking at 119 metres high, passengers experience the exhilaration of falling from 39 storeys at the speed of gravity (up to 135 kilometres per hour) aboard one of two 8-seater gondolas. Until now the tallest ride of this type was the Blue Fall in Hakeijima, Japan which is 107 metres high.
Mr Beattie joined Mr Lawrie Stapleton General Manager of Dreamworld’s listed owner, LeisureWide Property Trust, Dreamworld Chief Executive Officer Mr Fred Maybury and invited guests for the official launch and ride preview experiences.
Commenting on the world first coups, Dreamworld CEO Fred Maybury said new state-of-the-art rides and attractions such as The Giant Drop benefit Dreamworld, the Gold Coast, Queensland and Australia as a tourist destination.
"Tourism, the local economy and theme park visitors are the winners - being able to experience the world’s most technologically advanced rides and attractions in Australia".
Mr Maybury said the Tower of Terror which opened in January 1997 and set the world speed record for rollercoasters was engineered with the opportunity to develop a second ride from the Dreamworld Tower.
"This Christmas guests will be able to experience the best of both worlds - being blasted skyward on the Tower of Terror at speeds of up to 160 kph and free falling downward from 0 to up to 135 kph."
The commissioning process on The Giant Drop will continue up until Boxing Day but the ride will be operational at intervals leading up to December 26 - the start of the Christmas holiday promotion period.
The Giant Drop will add to Dreamworld’s Triple Thrill Christmas line-up which includes four shows daily of Michael Edgley’s All New Moscow Circus (26 December until 24 January 1999. Extended hours 9am to 6.30pm) and the arrival of Tiger Island’s first Bengal tiger cubs.

1997/98 Dreamworld Attendance Figures Most Successful on Record
Attendance numbers for year ended June 30, 1998 for Australia’s favourite family theme park, Dreamworld were 1,119,918, the highest in the Park’s history and 2.2% above those achieved in 1996/97.
Commenting on the result, Chief Executive Officer, Fred Maybury said "In the current tourism market growth in attendance is an achievement. The 2.2% growth is reflective of strategic planning implemented more than 18 months ago when tourism trends initially indicated change."
"To surpass the previous years record attendance reinforces the strength of our core market, which is domestic and the appeal of the Gold Coast as a destination. In a tourism market acknowledged as soft, prior to and following the Asian market currency crash, the re-focusing of our marketing strategies in line with these trends has contributed to the result achieved, " he said.
"In this economic climate and relative to other operators, the attendance achieved is a solid result."

Experience a Volcanic Island Adventure at Dreamworld
Island Adventure, Dreamworld’s new IMAX film will make an Australian premiere this week at Dreamworld’s Coca-Cola IMAX Theatre.
The film, shown on a screen six-storeys high, takes audiences on a journey to the mysterious volcanic island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean. An island shaped by intensive erosion. Hurricanes and strong tropical storms have left a rugged coastline, razor blade formations and gigantic holes.
Visitors will experience a breathtaking adventure across impenetrable jungles, climb huge rock formations, witness spectacular volcanic eruptions up close and embark on the first exploration of Hell Hole’s waterfall - where wild streams and waterfalls find their way through a huge formation 3,500 feet high.
In this humid and warm world reigns a primitive forest. There, giant mosses and wild orchids grow abundantly, mixed with fern trees and tamarinds tormented by the years.
The 40 minute film follows the story line of Kelly, a university professor who has a great passion for high mountains. Some time later, newspapers announced Jade’s disappearance. With the aid of two mountain climber friends he decides to look for her. From that moment on, Kelly and his friends embark on a breathtaking adventure which takes them to places they had never dreamed of.
The search is long and hard but they explore a fantastic world, lose themselves in strange primitive rainforests, dive into unexplored and endless canyons, discover an active volcano - where there is an eruption starting.
Island Adventure was directed by Alain Gerente, a professor at the University of La Reunion who dedicated the film to friends, Katia and Maurice Krafft, who disappeared in June 1991 while filming the eruption of Mount Unzen is Japan.
Dreamworld’s Coca-Cola IMAX Theatre is one of only two of its kind in Australia and when built in 1981 was the first in the southern hemisphere. The theatre provides a larger than life cinema experience for Dreamworld’s guests, has a projection distance of 32 metres and a capacity for 400 people seated at a 25 degree angle to the screen.
IMAX uses the largest film frame in motion picture history (ten times the size of conventional 35mm and three times the size of standard 70mm), together with state-of-the-art sound system and the most advanced projector ever built.
Island Adventure will screen daily at Dreamworld for six months and will alternate with "Antarctica" an IMAX film which takes audiences on a fascinating journey to the coldest, highest, driest, windiest, emptiest most continent on earth. Entry to both films is included in Dreamworld’s admission price.
