Warner Bros. Movie World is a popular movie related theme park on the Gold Coast in Australia. It is owned and operated by Village Roadshow since the take over from Time Warner and is the only movie related park in Australia. It opened on June 3, 1991.[1]
The park contains various movie-themed rides and attractions ranging from motion simulators to roller coasters and slow river rides. In addition, costumed character performers also patrol the park, allowing visitors the chance to take photos with them. These include Catwoman, Batman, Austin Powers, Marilyn Monroe, Shrek, Scooby Doo, The Mystery Inc. Gang and various Looney Tunes characters. Minor street shows including skits and singing performances are also present. The All-Star Parade showcases costumed characters alongside vehicles and movie-themed floats. [2]
There are a number of active film studios within the Movie World complex. House of Wax, the live-action Scooby Doo films, the 2003 Peter Pan film, Ghost Ship, The Condemned and Fortress are amongst the many films and television series produced at Warner Roadshow Studios, adjoining Warner Bros. Movie World.
Construction of Movie World began in 1989, and was designed by C. V. Wood, who was responsible for the design of theme parks such as Six Flags Over Texas. The park was completed within 16 months, converting swampland into a theme park modelled after similar movie-based theme parks overseas such as Universal Studios or Disney's Hollywood Studios. The park opened on June 3, 1991.[1] Queensland Premier Wayne Goss marked the occasion by cutting novelty film reel at an opening attended by celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.[3]
Initial attractions at the park focused on learning about and getting involved in movie related scenes and behind the scenes action. Opening day attractions included a Movie studio Tour, the Western Action Show, the Police Academy Stunt Show, The Great Gremlins Adventure as well as the Looney Tunes River Ride[4].
2001 saw the park's tenth anniversary with massive celebrations being held which included 1000 invites being given out via radio station B105 in August 2001. Guests were treated to live performances by Human Nature, Invertigo, ATC and Joanne[5].
2008 saw the construction of a new roof over Main Street, similar to that of Universal Studios Japan and Tokyo Disneyland. As stated on the official website, the roof is 4000sqm and will 'provide year round protection from the elements including inclement weather and sultry summer days.'[6] The permanent structure will also make a substantial difference to after hours scheduled program of events including three nights of Halloween Family Fun Night' held in October. The roof was completed in September 2008.
