Tower of Terror II was a launched shuttle roller coaster located at Dreamworld in Queensland, Australia. It was the 5th fastest roller coaster in the world before its closure in 2019, being over taken by Red Force at Ferrari Land in 2017. Tower of Terror II was one of only two Reverse Freefall Coaster designed by Intamin. Superman: Escape From Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain is the only remaining one left in operation.

History

The attraction opened on January 23, 1997. In February, the top speed was verified as a record-breaking 100 mph.

In August 2010, Dreamworld announced that it would be flipping the car around backwards and a 676 foot tunnel would be added. The ride reopened only a few weeks later. The name changed from Tower of Terror to Tower of Terror II.

On October 23, 2019, it was announced that the ride had reached the end of its service life. The attraction would close permanently on November 3, 2019. Giant Drop, which uses the same structure as Tower of Terror II, continues to operate to this day.

There is a remnant of the coaster, which is a piece of track attached to the tower.
