Flashback to 1999: Warner Bros Movie World - Classic Gremlins Ride POV - Ride Experience & Pre-Show

[@DemoneB]

This is great! I remember my stepdad picking me up & holding me towards the gremlin hanging from the light as we left the theatre, it scared the shit outta me! I was heartbroken when I went back to Movie World years later & that ride was gone

[@TheWanderers99]

Oh yes I remember that gremlin! I’m pretty sure it used to move a bit making it extra creepy! I agree, it’s a shame when they remove rides rather than just add new ones.

Wow what a blast from the past!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@TheWanderers99]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I would love to see with the inclusion of the highly anticipated Wizard of Oz precinct a return to movie making and magic that made WB so special. I adored the special effects show and the street festival. I loved the theming and set up before the rides like gremlins did so well. I have such high hopes for Oz and will be watching with great interest ❤

[@TheWanderers99]

Thanks for your comment. I couldn’t agree more with you! We will be there when Oz opens and will share with you on our channel! :)

isnt Oz supposed to consist only of loosely themed coasters? looks kinda boring on the artworks

[@TheWanderers99]

@@carlosmarx2380 Not sure, I agree the artworks don’t depict heavy theming. We will have to wait and see!

In the German version you could see one of the main characters, which was ALF (instead of Beetlejuice) already in the pre show on Screen on an Production of the Show while he’s being attacked by the Gremlins. I think that’s a far better idea than letting the character just appear when you enter the ride vehicles. They should have let Beetlejuice show up beforehand in the pre show so it makes more sense to the audience.

[@TheWanderers99]

Interesting, I wonder why they chose Alf as I didn’t think he was part of Gremlins?

This is great! I’m trying to document all the ride scenes and animatronics and I’m wondering if you could recall what was going on at 13:36. Also it’s insanely sad to see how much the animatronics degraded compared to older footage. Any other information would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for watching! Interesting pickup… I’m fairly sure that point in the video showed either another (prop ride car)or bunch of passengers who were either tied up with movie reel film as they had been captured by the gremlins. I could be wrong though, it was a long time ago. 😂 Yes this ride was from a time at movie world that we all fondly remember, a time when they spent a great deal of effort and expense on theming and the actors put in so much more effort to make the experience very special.

So sad that they got rid of everything that made it a movie themed park... I would love to hope that the addition of the Wizard of Oz precinct later this year we will see a return to form, but considering their current ride line up outside of the WB Kids Zone is 1 SBNO flat ride, 1 operating flat ride, 1 log flume, 1 dark ride, and 5 rollercoasters, only 2 of these 9 rides are not DC themed, and they are opening another 3 rollercoasters by the end of the year bringing them to 2/3 rides being a coaster. I have had an annual pass in one form or another for over 25 years now, and it has been sad to see the slow decline over that time. Even my 12 yo son no longer enjoys going as it is not the fun experience it once was :(

[@TheWanderers99]

Hi Scott, I hear you! Hopefully the Wizard of Oz precinct is just the first stage of better things to come.
