For all in the comments discussing the darkness of the ride we have something new to say. We were on this ride again today, while we were attending White Christmas (Video Coming Soon). Although in the Wild mouse section of the ride there are now more lazers and a few more lights. Hopefully Movie World are planning on developing the ride even further.

OMG THEY THREW AWAY THE SCOOBY ANIMATRONIC IN THE JUNGLE SCENE AT THE END NOOOOO THAT WAS LIKE THE BEST PART

Although the animatronics were a bit outdated, they still looked better than the terrible CGI monsters which make even the monsters in the movie from 16 years ago look like a masterpiece. They should have just replaced the animatronics with newer versions, ensured the smoke and decent laser effects in the wild mouse area worked properly all the time and left it as was. Realistically there was nothing wrong with the original version, it just needed a bit of a facelift.

Why does everyone other than Disney think projections are better than animatronics? Animatronics are always the way to go.

i think i like the original better? guess i was expecting more after all the hype....

It looks like the visuals for the screens are half finished...

OMG SCRAPPY REX HAS RETURNED THAT BEING ME!!!

I still prefer the lasers they had back when I first rode it in 2006, I miss that

I remember going on this as a young child I came out crying

I looked back before the backwards drop when I went on it...biggest mistake of my life

It’s interesting cause I went in this ride about a year and a half ago (I’d been on it before when I was much younger) and I remember feeling shocked over how much it had changed. But what I mean by “changed” is that there was nothing. It was just an indoor coaster that was pitch black with no animatronics or effects and only a few laser lights at the end. I thought that they must’ve been phasing it out but now I see that they were getting ready to re-do it. This looks decent but I will miss the original.

The original looked better . Looks tacky now . I thought they were changing the track as well since it took a year and a half to open again

It looks WORSE. There is like no lighting now other than the 3D things. And they weren’t even scary. I thought they would’ve improved the lighting, bumpiness in that horrible track and Made it less confusing about where your going. But they just removed all the lights and cool things for a bunch of screens? Crap

Now that I've seen the whole thing, it actually looks pretty good. But yeah they could have put even more effects into it. I am glad they've updated it, it will keep the ride open for another decade.

They have really stepped up with all the new video. Good on them for doing something significant to update it.

wheres the "scooobyyy scooby doo? where are you??" at the start... mmmm it looks like it should be in 3D. please tell me its 3D and not just terrible animation. animatoronics are way creepyer. this was my fave ride as a kid and ill be coming at easter so I hope its as good as it use to be.

I loved the original attraction and from what I can see here I’m quite disappointed. I’m not a big fan of screen based rides. I love animatronics a lot more even though I know these ones broke down from time to time. Guess I’ll have to see what I think in person.

While an actual Spooky Island theme park would have been awesome, I think this is good too.

It looks pretty good, I like how they’ve added more elements of the movie into the ride. Especially the skull disco ball. All they would need to fix is the CGI to make it a bit more realistic

I went on it when it was just a black room full of nothing

What did movie world do to this ride? This is the first ride I went on back in 2005 and it scared the heck outta me with the animatronics, audio, being in the dark not seeing much, all the smoke and lighting, but now it looks like there's pieces of the original with screens playing terrible early PS3 CGI. Not Spooky at all. If they gave it a proper face-lift with state of the art animatronic, scenery, sound it would be great, but other than Disney and Universal, parks think projected half assed CGI is the future

I never even knew this park existed.

Omg this was SO fun! I went on it at the last day of White Christmas!

The og version still has a pace in my hart

This ride was so much fun with the lights off :/

If they made more creative coasters like this…immersive… like a combination of a dark ride and coaster…think they would tap a new market. A lot of the Scoobie do cartoons have the mineshaft trope. It works.

Wow. Looks good. Glad they did something with it to make it better.

The back drop was so scary🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼🙍🏼

I've Might Go On The Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster Roller Coaster At Warner Bros Movie World Theme Park In Gold Coast Near Sydney Australia Next Year In 2021. Thanks Mate. X

went on this two days ago and THE QUALITY OF THE CAMERA ON THE FIRST PROJECTION THO 😭😭😭

NO NO NO NO NO!!! Where is the “Scooby doo where are you?” On the Elevator and the tilting and the red lights, I miss the Elevator!!! And my favourite jungle end?! 😱😭😭 where are the scary props? Wtf

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they’ve fixed those turns near the end, the amount of neck and back pain from those was horrendous I’m not a fan of the new theme at all but I hope they’ve changed speed in that ending area as that wasn’t a fun experience

I actually worked at MovieWorld 2002 - 2003. I don't miss the insanely loud rock & roll remix of the Scooby-Doo theme song. We had to sit in a booth at the top the the first drop (backwards) to make sure no one stood up or anything. We had to wear ear plugs on every shift and they didn't help much!!! I do miss the fog and the swirling portal on the last drop. The projector effects and Scrappy lifting the coaster to the "wild mouse" section of the ride are a nice touch though.

I love this ride, it’s so fun and exiting

I came here because of big lez show

Great upgrade

I honestly don’t see the point of this box thingy at 2:26 . After around 2 years of being the ride stripped you would imagine that they would’ve done so much more. What were they planning that whole time?

Amazing

This looks fun

i haven't been on this ride for a long time. But the animation looks bad...so bad that i might not go on this ride again.

Omg did they bring it back.?? I remember going on this like in 2014 or 2015 !!

They still need to add some ceiling in the slow parts of the ride. the lift screen is totally unfinished they only added the screen in front and on one side but not the other. They have removed lasers which is boring. The turning section is overly loud. Shame the fast trackers had to wait longer than the general queue because the workers were mostly concentrating on the general queue.

Not a big fan of screens it doesn't make it an experience it's one of them type of screen rides that u only do once

This rid eis awesome I went on it in 2019 when I was 7!! I hope it's even more awesome if that's possible, I'm going to movie world again in a few days with family so hopefully it's open!!

The screens ruined it. What’s the point of having them anyway? The CGI is like half done!

So cool

this ride should have like the first part the doors can be closed and then we could hear daphne kicking it open and her being like "oh yeah oh yeah" idk sksksk

Nice 👍🏽

I liked the original tonnes better :( the original was so complete and worked well together. This one is so random and choppy.

I love this I need to ride this ride now

I went on this. It was fun but the saws dip really took me by surprise.

ITS living up to its name one upgrade at a time. I remember riding it with lights on few years later it upgraded and had lights off now it this😊

I LOVE THE SCOOBY COSTER It's my fav ride

Cool

cool ride.

Omg this was so scary at the backwards drop part I almost threw up lol

the more I see it I like it but the ending needs a rework I think...

Ive been to this ride before and i remember saying "i dont wanna die not today"

I loved the animatronics! they got rid of them ☹️ last time I heard there’s a warehouse behind movie world that stores old animatronics from the rides

I remember the haunted house ride at the local Show did a change like this too, I was soo disappointed.

That is absolutely abismal I'm 19 and have been going to the Gold Coast since I was 8 ish and that ride was always a favourite They've killed it now, disgraceful

I was in this a few days ago the drop is terrifying

Do not go intro the spooky island castle!

Even though it was a kiddy ride I was fucking terrified and none of the lights were on!!!😂

I never went on the ride before it got redone so to me it looks normal and it’s pretty fun, what did it had before that I missed out on?

questions is new is Next Generation better or Scooby where are you old better and why ?

I took this ride when I was 6 and pretty much freaked out

The original was much better than this. I loved the animatronics. It gave the ride character! I hope the roller coaster itself hasn’t changed too much

The CGI and voices are pretty good, especially Shaggy’s voice, but they could’ve turned out better. No offense.

I liked the old Scooby Doo roller coaster better,

Tbh i kinda like the new version They just need to work on the screen more...

looks good 👌going tomoz

Ok I think I might go on it next time I go to movie world

Honestly I'm excited. To all of the idiots going "nope can't ride!!!! ", you haven't even ridden the new ride yet to see it for yourself.

I went today and although you can't see it the corners are terrible they thrash you against the side of the car and when it dips I find the bar keeping you hits you in the chest . I honestly expected much more than just adding lasers

The scooby doo song is still there on the ride

I’m going to movie world on the holidays

1:02 well that's just great.

I didn't remember the ride like this.

I haven't been on this ride in yeard

Given the vast amounts of money this park drags in they use conventional LCD panels, with bezels? Really, why not use HD clip panels to louse the square shape and make things a little more interesting. Given the hype I was expecting led panel lined ride walls at a bare minimum. Given my family and I are multiple and when I say multiple I mean multiple visitors to this park it is somewhat disappointing that given todays tech this wasn't more impressive. Politically correct and consideration probably limited tyhis upgrade which is sad. Still best park, happiest place in the world when you are there, except when there are time share vultures set up.

Well, it fits the movie .___.

Replace traditional animatronics with mundane LCD panels with second rate CGI to add insult to injury.

This ride is very SPOOKY!!!.... give me the cheeseburger

That looks cool but I have been on it

I don’t know if you realised the sign saying no recording

I think this ride has changed that much that it's ruined my childhood... It use to be scary... Now it just looks like a kiddy ride in darkness. Maybe it will feel scary when I'm actually on the ride

Yea it’s dark to look at but in person it’s better

1:37 that’s just like in the movie

How did you get away with taking a camera on the ride is what I want to know?

Rat ras awesome Raggy.

They want to make the ride more like the movie

I liked the old one better

I went on it and it was awsome

I went on here when I was 9 man 9

I got to touch the support of a ride here, but since my worthless sister bailed on me to go drinking with her friends, I was left as the sole caregiver for my mother who is too ill too ride (my sister had agreed to share looking after her so we could take turns on the rides) and I had to come within inches of one of my life goals of riding a coster here. I got to sit in the smoking area as an ex-smoker and be subjected to second-hand smoke while watching my dream wizz by feet away from me. Next time will be my turn to have fun here I hope.

went on this 2 weeks and there are way more lasers

I went on this. It was ok :)
