The Tower of Terror II at Dreamworld (Australia) was permanently retired in November 2019. While the massive 119-meter steel tower itself remains standing, the high-speed shuttle coaster that launched up it was removed. As of 2026, the tower continues to support the Giant Drop, which remains one of the world's tallest free-fall rides. However, the physical space once occupied by the Tower of Terror's "Escape Pod" and its long tunnel has been repurposed as part of Dreamworld's broader multi-year "reinvigoration" plan. The park shifted its thrill-seeker focus toward the Steel Taipan, a triple-launch coaster that opened in 2021, featuring the world’s first "spinning gondola" on the rear of a train. While nothing has "replaced" the Tower of Terror on the actual vertical track, the park's "Land of Awesomeness" and new precinct developments have filled the thematic void, focusing on high-tech, high-capacity rides rather than the high-maintenance, aging technology of the original 1997 shuttle coaster.
