Ocean Parade is a themed land at the Dreamworld amusement park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It features 4 of the Big 9 Thrill Rides at Dreamworld. The Claw, Wipeout, Tail Spin and Hot Wheels SideWinder. Are within close proximity of each other. Ocean Parade has an Australian beach culture theme, and has beach-themed rides scattered around the area. It currently provides a link between Main Street, DreamWorks Experience, and the adjacent water park WhiteWater World.
Ocean Parade opened in 1993, replacing the Northern end of Country Fair. The area has since been extended to cover all of the area once occupied by Country Fair. Since its opening, the most major change to the land was when The Claw was added in September 2004. This installation required the redesign of the pathway, dining and merchandise shops. In 2006, Ocean Parade opened a "park-hop" entrance to WhiteWater World, which is also owned by Ardent Leisure (the owners of Dreamworld). In June 2011, Dreamworld will open a Zamperla Disk'O called Shockwave. In 2014, Dreamworld renovated Ocean Parade with the rebuild of Wipeout and the opening of Tail Spin. In 2015, The Cyclone was renovated and transformed into Hot Wheels SideWinder.
The area was previously home to AVPX, Reef Diver, Stingray, and Thunderbolt
The Claw is an Intamin Gyro Swing which opened in September 2004. It is a one and a half minute ride in which riders are swung from side to side on an axis in a similar fashion to that of a pirate ship ride. However, the seating arrangement on The Claw is in a circular formation. Part of the Big 7 marketing campaign.
Hot Wheels SideWinder is one of the tallest high-speed gravity steel roller coasters in the Southern Hemisphere. When it opened in 2001, it was the tallest. Part of the Big 7 marketing campaign. The ride underwent a refurbishment in October-December 2015, and became Hot Wheels Hot SideWinder as part of the Motorsport Experience, which opened December 26.
