Ocean Parade is a themed land at the Dreamworld amusement park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It features 3 of the Big 7 Thrill Rides at Dreamworld, The Claw, The Gold Coaster and Tail Spin, which 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, Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland, and the adjacent water park WhiteWater World.

History

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). On 25 June 2011, Dreamworld opened a Zamperla Disk'O called Shockwave. In 2014, Dreamworld renovated Ocean Parade with the rebuild of Wipeout, closure of Reef Diver and the opening of Tail Spin. In 2015, a new themed area, Motorsport Experience, took over a part of Ocean Parade which included two refurbished attractions and a new exhibit. In March 2019, The Wipeout was closed permanently. In November 2022, Dreamworld announced a $50m investment which included an expansion of Ocean Parade, taking over the former "Kung Fu Panda: Land of Awesomeness" sub-area of the former DreamWorks Experience precinct. The expansion includes rethemed attractions and a new splash pad. The area was previously home to AVPX, Reef Diver, Stingray, Wipeout and Thunderbolt.
