What is the fastest roller coaster in Australia?

Ride the tallest, longest and fastest HyperCoaster in the Southern Hemisphere! Tackle the 1.4 kilometre track for the ultimate thrill and experience a menacing 89 degree drop as you descend from the lair of the iconic Joker head. This opens in a new window.



The fastest roller coaster in Australia continues to be the DC Rivals HyperCoaster at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast. Reaching a top speed of 115.1 km/h (71.5 mph), it also holds the records for being the longest and tallest hypercoaster in the Southern Hemisphere. Manufactured by Mack Rides, the coaster features a massive 61.6-meter lift hill followed by a terrifying 89-degree drop through the mouth of a giant Joker head. One of the most unique aspects of this ride is that the very last car on the train is reversed, allowing brave riders to experience the entire 1.4-kilometer track backwards at full speed. While newer rides have been proposed for the 2026-2027 season, DC Rivals remains the speed champion of the continent. It is particularly praised by enthusiasts for its "airtime" (the feeling of weightlessness) and its smooth, forceful layout that includes a 40-meter non-inverting loop, making it the must-do attraction for any thrill-seeker visiting the Australian theme park capital.

Though I was wary at first, The Joker wasn't as scary or stomach-churning as I had imagined. I love rollercoasters and I don't shy away from ones that go upside-down, however the “unpredictable” nature of never knowing when the ride is going to flip was intimidating. As it turns out, my hesitance was unnecessary.
