BuzzSaw

Dreamworld’s newest bone chilling ride, BuzzSaw has boosted the parks thrill ride count from the Big 6 to the Big 7 and is the new scream  machine to conquer.

Seated in an open carriage, adrenaline seekers are held in by a single waist harness leaving the upper body fully exposed to the elements, and with little to cling onto. 

This white-knuckle ride starts with a suspenseful 46m vertical ascent that has riders instantly wishing they were back on the ground.At its peak, the rider’s centre of gravity is flipped and they are dangled upside-down 15 storeys in the air before the ride car free-falls through a 360 degree heart roll, and plummets down a final vertical drop at speeds of up to 105km/hour.

Racing through the launch station, momentum send the riders on a lightning fast series of ascents and descents, rocking forwards and backwards on the gigantic loop before the ride car is caught in mid-air and lowered back to the base. 

BuzzSaw is the highest inversion ride experience in the Southern Hemisphere. 

Situated in the park’s Gold Rush precinct, the construction of the new ride unearthed some unusual stories about the make-believe mining township, which has been part of Dreamworld since the mid 1980’s. 

Unexplainable occurrences recounted by staff working in the area and historic research dating back to the late 1800’s inspired the ride’s theme and have guests wondering where fact ends and fiction begins.

BuzzSaw is the first menacing thrill ride guests can spot as they arrive in the main car park adding to the already impressive landscape including the Tower of Terror II and The Giant Drop.
