- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- Warner Bros. Movie World is Australia's best theme park. Located in Gold Coast, this park feels like an upscale Six Flags park. But instead, it is owned by Village Roadshow. You have the same great thrills that Six Flags is known for plus some shockingly good theming. This makes for some great attractions! This in-depth review discusses the park's history, important tips for your visit, and all the rides you can experience.

If only Six Flags parks were this themed
I know!
@@CanobieCoaster It's Starro the Conqueror NOT Destroyer.
This video was really informative, thanks! Heading to Australia in October this year and hoping the park won't be too busy 😊
Enjoy!
I live in Australia and I’ve been here so much and the atmosphere and rides are great also there are so many mascots like Daffy Duck, bugs bunny, the whole Scooby doo team and the joker and Batman just to name a few
True, they have a lot of characters.
They also need more dark Rides. You forgot to mention Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster because i guess they closed it to be refurbished. It was an amazing dark ride indoor coaster and they really need to do a good job refurbishing it and reopening it. As good as the Mini-cars attraction is, most Australian fans of the park miss the Looney Tunes River Ride that previously occupied the space, it was extremely well themed and had great animatronics. The park really should invest in a good Bugs Bunny ride again.
Also frankly Wild West Falls needs new ride queue video, Wild Wild West is just too old a movie.
Watch 15:47. He goes in detail about Scooby Doo spooky coaster for a while here
Scooby Doo looked cool and it was a shame it closed after we booked our trip. I wish I could have tried the Looney Tunes River Ride. I liked the one that used to be at Six Flags Over Texas.
It’s Movie World’s best ride imo! You have to come back when it reopens 😂. I recommend looking into the old crowd favourite Bermuda Triangle dark ride from Sea World, it was praised by Disney Imagineers for what the team were able to achieve on a modest budget of $10 million. It was so much fun!
Village roadshow have really been bad with their parks lately. They used to be WAY cheaper and a lot more casual which just made the parks much more enjoyable since you really didn't have anything to worry about other than the short hours. But as of late they have been greedy and unaccommodating. I get that it is hard especially with how bad covid was for them, hopefully they can sort their shit out and get back on track to making the parks the best they can possibly be.
Did the parks get busier after covid? I've heard they can get super long lines in holiday periods.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah the parks definitely at least seem busier since covid and the issues I have with the parks all surfaced around covid so that doesn't help. It feels like village roadshow put all these things into practice to help with the covid situation which were understandable even if they hindered the park experience. But now that covid is behind us instead of reevaluating their methods they just doubled down on them and shot themselves in the foot especially since people won't really take the covid excuse anymore and when you combine that with the crowds returning it puts movie world in the worst state I think it's ever been at in terms of how enjoyable it is to be there and sea world is lucky the new atlantis precinct is so amazing otherwise it would be in the gutter too. I've seen DC Rivals with a 3+ hour line at some points but holidays have always been like that I think the lines just move slower since covid and the park isn't fit to accommodate the amount of people they let in on holidays. Hopefully with the new wizard of oz area they can fix some of their issues and it helps to spread out the crowd because as is I find myself rarely if ever going to movieworld when I used to go at least once a week.
@@CanobieCoasterThe park having bad operations is an understatement, when running DC rivals with 2 trains the second train will ALWAYS stack for at least 1-2 minutes. Green lantern’s dispatch’s are also super slow for the amount of trains they operate. I also think the fast track system is so stupid with only 1 fast track for each ride for au$160 when all rides are open. And the park should not be investing in such a massive hotel if they can’t keep lines under 2 hours during the holiday seasons(they can’t). From what I’ve heard the hotel is costing above au $300 million however I’m not sure if this is true, but if it is they should be inventing in operations and a major expansion rather than a god dam hotel, queues will prob increase to 3 hours with this hotel
Also every holiday superman will have a 3 hour+ line at some point in the day.
Amazing review!
Thanks!
If i ever take a vacation to Gold Coast Australia, i'm Definitely going to do as many Village Roadshow attractions as i can along with several other attractions i can squeeze into a weeks worth of fun! (Along with climbing Ayers rock)
Makes sense!
Fyi people are banned from walking on Ayers Rock these days and it's in a different state to the gold coast
Its traditional name is Uluru. It's a sacred indigenous site and can not be climbed.
@@birthwrite8306 well at least i can get a photo of it
Hi Canobie! Will you visit Madrid for the new Batman Coaster at Parque Warner? It opens next week!
I would like to get there this year, but I don't have any plans right now.
i did hear about the ride opening soon. Even Though i don't speak Spanish. The Theming is outstanding Especially With the Poison Ivy Statue.
There was a graveyard where Doomsday Destroyer stands (or some place near it) and there was audio that played of someone snoring. (Someone sleeping in a coffin). The wild west area was larger and its a shame the Doomsday Destroyer area was placed there, rather than with the other DC rides.
Definitely an odd spot for Doomsday to go.
The superman strike caught me so off guard lol
Strike?
Did you go to Melbourne in your Australia trip?
No, didn't have enough time.
@@CanobieCoaster Totally Go There. i Went to The Aquarium this week and They had some wonderful Exhibits including the Penguins.
surprised about the glasses thing, when I went I don't remember having to give over my glasses. maybe that's changed in the last 10 years though, or I didn't go on anything vigorous enough to require it
I wish I could keep my glasses on since I have a strap.
@@CanobieCoaster if all the aussie parks are doing that now I guess my rides days are over, my eyes are bad enough now that I wouldn't be comfortable doing that.
I can’t wait until 2025 for the gold coast parks.
Movie World will have Wizard of Oz, Surfrider relocation and Scooby Doo Retheme all up and running.
Dreamworld will have all of their $60m+ refurb all completed with the new Vekoma coaster.
+ more investments are intended to come due to the 2032 Olympics.
It’s a great time to have these as home parks.
I'm glad they're getting a lot of investment.
0:12 This Famous Theme Park Warner Bros Movie World Theme Park In Gold Coast Queensland In Australia Was First Opened On June 3rd 1991 The Same Year As Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat Premiered At London's Wonderful London Palladium In London's Glittering West End In London In England In The United Kingdom And Also The Same Time As Disney's Beauty And The Beast Opened At Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre In Los Angeles California In The United States Of America On November 22nd 1991 Along With BRUM The Original Series Which Launched On To British Television In September 1991 As Well Too. Thanks Mate. PS I Will Look Forward To Go To Warner Bros Movie World Theme Park In Australia Next Year In 2025. Wish Me Luck. X❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🧑🏭🏄♀️🏄♂️🧭🎬📽️🎞️👮
Enjoy!
This is such a great park even though I’ve never been there
It's fantastic.
Now I want you to do a review of parque Warner Madrid It's like this one but bigger, with better theming and with more attractions And with this that they will open a new roller coaster I look forward to that review
Same! He has done a review on Coaster Express
@@Didyus oh yeah i saw that review that roller coaster needs to be rmc'd
I want to get back there first to get footage and experience Gotham City Escape.
I’m surprised DC and Marvel Amusement Park’s never happened
I wish.
The park's first roller coaster opened to acclaimed receptions?
Not exactly
@@CanobieCoaster It did get an acclaimed reception. Rollercoasters were rare in Australia at the time, and the Lethal Weapon Queue and station were just straight up extremely well themed. Mel Gibson was also just straight up popular as hell in Australia at the time given he's Aussie by childhood.
You entered the ride's area through a "Chinatown Arch" complete with fake Chinese shopfronts, then there was originally a pre-show and The Queue & Station itself was themed to an LA junkyard with guard dogs growling and police sirens over the loudspeakers. It was awesome. The theming was mostly based on Lethal Weapon 3.
Ride, well that was rough headbanger as usual for those coasters but still enjoyable for what it was.
Shame most videos of the ride don't show the Entry, Queue and Station. You'd see how well themed they were.
I feel like the Intamin Surfrider would make much more sense at Sea World, but hey I’m not Village Roadshow 🤷♂️
I think it would make more sense there given the theme it once had.
This looks like if cedar fair owned the rights to dc and not 6 flags
The theming is a bit beyond what Cedar Fair usually does.
rides aside, this or SFFT?
Taking rides out of the equation, probably Fiesta. The quarry wall is a cheat code, they have great food, and their operations are better.
I wish Village put more effort in their horticulture the entrance is great but seams to stop there. The shows are underrated - musicals, WB characters and shows around the park are cool, Food is good and in the right shops you can get some really decent merch.
I also like the greenery around Wild West Falls.
I agree abd the classic fountain on the entrance@@CanobieCoaster
They are their own worst enemy. The fact that they don't offer unlimited express anymore means no one in their right mind will buy it for a one shot on all rides. it's ridiculous. So greedy and WILL work against them because people will just use their brains and use the virtual queue. I would have had issues paying THAT much for unlimited, but I HAVE done it in the past when they offered it and I was on my own and I maxxed out my day, so at the end of the day I did say it was worth it (was a bit cheaper then too). I will not do it for one shots. If I could convert all rides to the two I want to marathon, I would consider it. But as it stands it's flat out outrageous, and up to $40 for a single shot. I have a real issue with greed and I will never, ever give in to it. It's different getting something fair in return but another thing entirely when it's just pure greed. So they can stick it!
Did you know DC Rivals was $10 for back row at opening? And the Australian government claims it's been like 5% inflation country wide since Covid? Yet it's the same issue at our supermarkets. Double or more in some cases. I would accept $15 and do three rides for $45 in that case. But I won't even ever do it again for $25 a pop. Greed. I can't abide it, it sickens me. I would never run a theme park this way, it would always be run in a way that was fair and reasonable to every soul.
I am going to have to do it for leviathan as waiting 2 hours will drive me insane, but that will be a one off for the back row, and a one off for the reverse row, so, like $65 LOL, but I guess I will only ride it twice, cause I am not going to put up with 2 hour queue lines for one ride. At least I will get to enjoy it twice in the best seats in a reasonable time frame, so I'll look at it as a once off and not go out for the night instead, but I will NEVER do it again after the first visit. Ever.
Australia's theme park system is broken
1) Even in peak summer they close early on weekends
2) Operations are terrible but they don't even an offer an unlimited paid option anymore
3) One train happens often, even in busy days
4) No seat choice unless you go out of your way and they CAN decline and HAVE declined. After a long wait sometimes, that is more than annoying. I really don't have a great time when I visit our parks cause of how bad the operations are, and that's the truth.
I am glad you had a good time Mike, truly, and I couldn't think of a cooler way to spend your honeymoon and I am really happy for you guys. But this is why I go to the US. Even your worst operations are better than ours and I can always choose my row and express passes are worth it cause not only are they unlimited, even if they are expensive, I have bought 3 passes that allow me entry into ALL parks of three major chains, and since I will visit them all, it works out to a few dollars a park in Six Flag's case, for example. So I have no issue paying for express. I will do all seaworld and busch parks on a pass and same with cedar fair. You can't beat that value, even with our weak dollar.
Cheers!
I agree the backwards experiences were expensive. But I was willing to pay since it was unique and something I wouldn't be back to experience for quite some time. I noticed Parc Asterix actually made their backwards row free this year, but they do it off of a reservation system.
I wish there was an unlimited Fast Track, but it does leave more capacity for the virtual queue. The park wasn't packed when I visited, so I was able to keep reserving a new ride every 30 minutes or so. I know they can run out if the park is slammed though.
I agree the US operations tend to be faster, but I appreciated how friendly the employees at the Australian parks were compared to what I was used to at the US parks.
Yeah village roadshow are running their parks into the ground with greed and it sucks to see. As for row requests, I've spent more time than I care to admit at gold coast parks and not once have I ever been denied a row I've asked for. I can't imagine them ever denying a row unless you have been rude or a nuisance. A simple please and thankyou goes a long way. I feel bad for the employees at village roadshow parks, they are always so friendly and I often have good chats with them and at the best of times they never had great things to say about management but with how they have been treating guests in recent years I can't imagine employees having a good time with them. And with the park experience declining so much I imagine it must be frustrating for them to deal with angry guests caused by the terrible management. The same management who makes them assign rows, forces so many procedures that operations are downright horrendous and leaves guests with a sour taste in their mouth before they even get halfway through their day by milking them of every cent they can get.
@@seugoi7460 To this day I have never had a single day at those parks when they weren't slammed and the waits weren't an hour minimum for each ride. Heck we waited 2 hours for the Giant Drop last time a few years back, just before the rapids incident. And Movie World has always been slammed like crazy for me. Dreamworld have always let me request my seat but I've had 50/50 at Movie World. I am never rude to ride ops, ever, and they have never been rude to me either. For example if it's ever been denied, it's been like "we are so busy today I am sorry we can't allow you to wait the extra train, please be seated", and things like that. The point is, the queues should be designed in a way that you can line up for whatever row you like. That in itself, that one tweak would increase efficiency at our parks.
The problem in America is that many ride ops are fat and lazy, yet somehow they are still faster than ours. It's our overbearing procedures just to get a ride out that is partly to blame.
WB movie world is a decent theme park. It's not the greatest I've visited but certainly holds its own in terms of entertainment and theming. Hopefully with the additions coming in 2024 like the new generation Scooby Doo ride, The Flash: Speed Force and the new Wizard of OZ precinct, this park would be much more attractive to visit.
Those additions will really fill out the park.
love it
Me too.
This look so much better than the Dubai version.
The Dubai park has far better theming, but this park crushes them in the thrill ride department.
movie world has definitely got to be one of my favourite theme parks i’ve ever been to
It's a great park.
Do like it. Very nice park.
Australia's best
The Australian parks seem to be rather low quality snd highly priced. Few overall attractions. Short hours. Poor operations. I agree this is the best park in that country but that doesn’t say much.
Even Wonderland was a shell compared to the other Taft built parks. I guess the low population doesn’t warrant a world class park.
I appreciate these reviews. They have made me definitely want to go to some parks and avoid parks like these.
This park is actually very good! We went here a few weeks ago, and the coasters make it a must visit park. DC Rivals is AMAZING, and same for Superman. The theming on Wild West Falls (log flume) is excellent. I highly recommend coming here.
I thoroughly enjoyed the park. Dispatch speeds were slow and there were operational quirks, but the employees were extremely friendly. And there were some great rides.
Main problem is they all close at 5pm..... Too early. I think with the new hotel, this park might open longer hopefully.
What's Up Doc 🐇🐰🐇🐰
Hello
I've been extreemly dissapointed the last couple times our family visited Movie World. The last 2 visits we over the last couple of years the park has 3 of it's major costers closed. This left the flume ride and the Joker ride running as far as coaster go, that's it. Paid full prce and was done around lunch time. Total ripoff. Yes, this park is not big but when 3 out of the 4 major coaster are down for the day it taked everyting out of the experience.
I made sure to visit when most rides were open. I know ride closures sting at this park since they don't have many.
Wish Warner bros bought six flags out. So much more licensing and missed opportunities.
I wish Six Flags had theming this good.
I thought Dreamworld was Australia's best theme park.
That is their most well-rounded park.
Hello
Hi
You should get contacts
That would probably help for sports and parks like this.
