The Tower of Terror II was a steel shuttle roller coaster located at the Dreamworld amusement park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The original ride featured a shorter, 80-metre (260 ft) tunnel, a rigid lap bar using a hydraulic locking system, and would carry 15 passengers at a time.

[9] The original Tower of Terror ride was themed as an "escape pod" launch from a futuristic skyscraper to a distant building.

Riders took the role of people queuing for the escape pods through the corridors and stairwells of the building, at one point crossing a depth illusion giving the impression of being high above a ruined city.

[12] In February 2010, further fuel was added to the fire when a theme park reporter commented on the possibility of the Tower of Terror featuring a new, backwards launching vehicle.

[5][6] Just months after the closure of Wipeout, the park announced on 25 October 2019 that the Tower of Terror ll would cease operation on 3 November of the same year.

The queue begins with a footpath that extends from the underpass linking Tiger Island and Wiggles World,[17] to the inside of an 11-metre-tall (36 ft) skull.

[10] From there, the line bends into a tunnel where riders have to walk 270 degrees anti-clockwise, crossing a metal bridge below which a model city is displayed.

[6] Up to 14 riders at a time[6] are electro-magnetically accelerated to 160.9 kilometres per hour (100.0 mph) in seven seconds along the extended, 206-metre (676 ft) launch tunnel.

[10] The car then pitches back down to horizontal and enters the tunnel where an on-ride camera takes photographs of riders.

[10] Following the ride, riders are let out an exit on the opposite side to the entry, which leads into a passageway containing a metal lift.

This takes the riders back down to ground level and opens up to the Tower of Terror Warehouse merchandise shop.

[18][20][21] The title of the World's Fastest Roller Coaster was shared between the two rides for the next four years until Dodonpa at Fuji-Q Highland opened in December 2001.

[2][23] When it was removed, Tower of Terror II was still the fourth-tallest, the fifth-fastest, and had the third-longest drop among steel roller coasters in the world.
