The Bermuda Triangle was a themed indoor water ride at the Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast, Australia.[6] In 2013, the ride was replaced by Storm Coaster, a Mack Rides water coaster.

The Sea World ride has a replica (named Bermuda Triangle: Alien Encounter) that still operates in Movie Park Germany to this day, though it was given an Area 51 retheme in 2019, titled Area 51 - Top Secret.
