Diving Machine G5 is a roller coaster located at Janfusun Fancyworld in Taiwan. The ride was built in 2000 by Swiss manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard and was the second Diving Machine model to be built, the first being Oblivion at Alton Towers in the United Kingdom. It is located in the Sky Plaza section of the park.

Diving Machine G5 is dubbed after the amount of G-forces it creates when dropping. Like Insane Speed, Diving Machine G5 is not themed to anything. Along with the Ku Ku Roller Coaster, and Insane Speed, Diving Machien G5 is one of the three roller coasters at the park.
