Aussie follower of yours here....really appreciate you taking the time to do this review of the park and finally making it here to the Down Under (hope to see more reviews of the rest of the parks on the Gold Coast)....I'm sure you know but for those who don't the new Flash coaster is actually the Surf Rider that has been relocated from Wet 'N' Wild....Love that ride so much and am keen to ride it again now in its new location

you guys should revisit in the summer holidays (2025 at earliest when most construction is done) so you can experience Superman, Scooby, Flash, WoO, then the whole refurbed Dreamworld.

Good review! Movie World's a fun park, just often mired by awful operations. Scooby and Superman are both great coasters that you guys will love! and you're right about the subpar merch. 9:57 Small correction, Harry Potter was actually in a different area of the park; the Batman Legacy building used to be a wild west show back in the day.

I just got back from my Australia tour, and unfortunately this park just was not operating well when I visited. The staff are very nice, but only two coasters were open (DC Rivals and Road Runner Express), and everything had pretty brutal lines. I had a better day at pretty much every other park in Australia/NZ, with Dreamworld and Sea World both impressing me a lot, despite also being in transitionary periods. Hoping to get a redemption visit when everything new is added and open - I absolutely loved my visit to this country as a whole and definitely want to come back eventually.

Superman and Scooby Doo are great coasters with incredible theming (superman is hands-down my favourite coaster in the country) and it's a really fun time. Although they could work on their operations, I love this park and I cannot wait to return.

I first went to this park as a teenager in the early 90’s - not long after it opened. My impression of it back then was very underwhelming, and my least favourite out of the 3 main theme parks on the Gold Coast. Main problem was the very limited amount of rides and attractions. They had a Gremlins themed dark ride, a Batman themed pod with projections- (a bit like a flight simulator), it was fairly cool. They had a much better stunt show than the current one, and the log Flume ride in the Wild West area. No coasters. A few years later they opened up the first coaster at the park, which was the Lethal Weapon ride (after the movie of course), this was later turned into the Arkham Assylum coaster I believe, and from what you’ve said, that’s been closed down now too. Having visited the park a couple of times in recent years it’s been very pleasing to see it grow, and that the developers keep putting a lot of money and support into the park, because it’s getting really good now. It only took them 30 years.

I'd suggest next time you go back down under you go around October. Go do the fright nights event at MW and at that time of year they usually have all of Coasters open. Not just MW, but at Seaworld and Dreamworld usually have all of theres open as well. Its also a time when they have better ops and more then one train running. Btw if y'all ever get stuck in Brisbane again without accommodation yall can stay in our spare room!

It’s an awesome park but I think village roadshow isn’t doing an awesome job at managing the park, like you said, there’s not much merchandise, but the biggest problem with the park is extremely slow operations with most of there rides, especially dc rivals and green lantern. And the fast track for $180 is not worth it at all! You get 1 fast track ride on each of the 7 included rides, which is different to dreamworld which does an unlimited fast track for au$140. And you get access to more rides using dreamworlds fast track.

For people wondering when the best time to go to the World's and other parks would be, I'd say in Autumn, early spring or late summer. In winter most likely it's going to be raining and even though crowds would be small due to schools running it's going to be cold and it'll be even colder on the rides. You might not care about that but I know a lot of people don't like waiting in the cold. Late spring is when all the Yr 12 graduates go on their end of school trip. It's called Schoolies and everyone usually gravitates towards Gold Coast and the parks during late November. The parks are usually packed during that period. In October it's a great time, even though it's packed they usually have all the rides open due to fright nights event, then early November they change all their decorations for Christmas. In early-mid summer everyone is on their summer break and people like going on Christmas holidays there. It's also topping the 30s-40s temperature-wise (around 100 Fahrenheit) and you'd most likely be melting in the heat in the long queues. I'd say wait until February because it's also cooler and children are back in school.

@@ThemeParkOgreIn the early days they were. Batman: The Ride and the Looney Tunes River Ride had far better theming than their replacements. As you yourself noticed, the Looney Tunes area is missing a good star attraction. That used to be the river ride housed in what's now the Mini Cars building. Batman the ride, a Star Tours style attraction themed to 1992's Batman Returns and later the Animated Series, had the best ever pre-show section for any attraction in Australia. People miss that ride because the replacement just is nowhere near as enjoyable.

Sad that you couldn't go on Superman. It's probably my favourite in the park (DC Rivals is close behind). The launch caught me completely off guard when I first went on it, I felt like my soul was sucked out of my body. Also with scooby-doo they've already done heavy reno's on the ride before. Not entirely sure what they're changing about it this time, but the first edition of the ride was amazing. I was absolutely terrified of the ride when I was a kid. It's pitch black for most of it and it's like a wild mouse ride. I felt like I was going to fall off every time I rode it. It's also heavily themed, there used to be animatronics of scooby and scrappy doo but they replaced it with screens, which was a bummer.

By 2025, i dont think it will be in its prime at all lol. definately better than atm, but its prime was the early years, when there were lots of movie themed immersive rides and shows. Just like in the german park, there used to be a Gremlins Dark Ride, wich was sick and terrifying and incredibly well done. there also used to be an immersive looney tunes indoor boat ride (wich was also copied for the german park). There also used to be a version of the Batman Simulator Ride (wich you may have seen as "Time Riders" in Germany), and a really cool studio tram tour, wich ended with an interactive show in wich you could experience movie making first hand, watching live performed scenes and movie tricks in an actual sound stage (in the location where the superman coaster stands today). I think they have lost their whole identity. there was also the police academy stunt show, wich was way better than hollywood stunt driver in literally any aspect. the wizard of ozz addition feels soulless too. just 2 bare coasters and huge outdoor theming without any substance or detail. instead of this, they could use the money to build immersive themed indor rides again, instead of wasting it on huge empty building facades. in comparison: movie park germany opened their studio tour indoor coaster just 2 years ago, and it was an hommage to all the classic movie rides. the stunt show is not that good as well, but still better than in australia. i would say while australia's coasters are way better than the german ones, overall the german version has better and more indoor rides, and i would say overall better actual ride theming, however the australian park has the better western area, and the kids area looks a little bit nicer, but thats mostly due to the fact that the german park had to tear their looney tunes land down because the building material didnt survive german weather conditions, so they had to build a whole new area from scratch within just 2 years, wich turned out to be a little bland.

The studio tour was the best part, I saw them making the Street Fighter movie on the tour.
