Top 10 Rides & Attractions at Warner Bros. Movie World

[@Harrys.Truman-fanpage]

Something like Green Lantern would fit in seamlessly at Bakken or Great Escape!

[@CanobieCoaster]

That would work at either park.

[@dannthenitroman]

Its a pretty mid GP ride. IMO.

[@mackenziefritz8169]

This park looks absolutely amazing and has been near the top of my bucket list for a while! right now, what the park needs the most is a coaster focused on inversions, Green Lantern is the only coaster in the park that has any inversions at this point. A new gen Vekoma or something from Mack would be a great fit

[@CanobieCoaster]

I honestly think a big package of flats to add capacity would be their best investment.

[@ScottyMania313]

Rivals and Escape are a nice 1, 2 punch. Beautiful park. Faygo pop and ICP are popular in Austrialia btw 😎

[@CanobieCoaster]

They definitely are a great 1-2 punch.

[@gopstarx7626]

This is my list as an Australia who visits every year. 10: Junior Driving School 9: Road Runner Rollercoaster 8: Justice League 3D-The Ride 7: Doomsday Destroyer 6: Batwing Spaceshot 5: Wild West Falls Adventure Ride 4: Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster Next Generation 3: Green Lantern Coaster 2: Superman Escape 1: DC Rivals Hypercoaster

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice list! Glad Scooby Doo places highly.

[@jackpowers5707]

I would love a video ranking the best “value” rollercoasters. Like gauging their price tag (or rumored price tag) and the amount that you enjoy them.

[@samuelahoffman]

Also quality of ride time x ride time

[@CanobieCoaster]

That may be a tricky one since not every ride has pricing shared.

[@jackpowers5707]

@@CanobieCoaster could use rumored price tags or just only include coasters where you can find the price

[@maxhagenauer24]

Australia as a whole may only have 3 major parks but this one makes this country a destination for enthusiasts. An El Loco, an accelorator, and then a Mack Hyper thats one of the hest in the world? The collection is rather small but its good, its good enough. They country definitely use more since they removed their SLC but for now, DC Rival ls is enough.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Australia is worth a visit on its own, but the few parks have enough to make them worthwhile.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

I have a soft spot for Batman & Robin: It's so bad it's good! 😅 Scooby was an amazing ride, that sadly went downhill the last few years. I think you'll love it if they do a good job with the refurb.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hopefully I can try it someday because I enjoy the live action Scooby film.

[@boredbuilder8739]

Stunt show... lol. of course it's Utes. love it

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's one of their highlights.

[@aaronzubia7931]

We definitely need a park like this in the US, something focused on DC specially and maybe add more Warner bros movies like the monster verse movies like Godzilla and kong, a park like that would definitely rival the Disney parks

[@CanobieCoaster]

Unfortunately, Six Flags has the DC branding so we won't get a Warner Bros. park in the US.

[@jrax1713]

I think a B&M invert, would be really good fit here

[@CanobieCoaster]

A good looping coaster would be nice.

[@RomanSecundus]

green lantern is best experienced on the very left seat imo. just before you turn into those hangtime moments, you some sideways hangtime which is awsome

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think I was on that side.

[@Melody303]

My girlfriend live in Australia, and I was there with her last month, and we went to the three major parks on the Gold Coast during our time together, this was planned a few months in advance, and then, the three major roller-coaster youtubers I watch all wound up travelling to those parks around the same time. So surreal. I thought I'd beat you all to them, but I guess not. :p Well, I still got to them before you did specifically, I think. :p I sadly missed out on Superman at Warner Bros, the woodie at Seaworld, and the drop tower at Dreamworld, and I don't think we're going back to the Gold Coast the next time I'm in Australia, partially because it'll be winter there, but maybe the time after that. (I also got to Ferrariworld and IMG Worlds of Adventure on the way there, so at least I beat the bunch of you to Mission Ferrari. :P Flying Aces was sadly closed though.)

[@Melody303]

And yeah, DC Rivals is easily the best coaster in Australia, especially in the backwards facing last row, and I think I'll give 2nd place for now to Steel Taipan, even if I didn't get to ride it in the spinning last car (that train wasn't in use when I was there), that's a very nice version of the Blue Fire model, better than the original in fact. (IMG's version was inferior to the original, on the other hand).

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sorry you had a lot of closed rides there. I missed Giant Drop as well. That refurb keeps being pushed out.

[@TomWhalen-xj4dk]

@@Melody303 Australia is on my bucket list of places to visit for coasters! There and Japan

[@teddym2808]

You do realise that winter weather in the Gold Coast is dry and sunny, yes? That's one of the best places to be in Australia for winter. it is often over 20 degrees celsius during the day, and only night time gets cool, but never freezing.

[@micoasters]

Will you be going to dreamworld for steel taipan and Luna park for Big Dipper?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes I rode both of those.

[@micoasters]

@@CanobieCoaster nice

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

Excellent!

[@teddym2808]

@@CanobieCoaster It's a real shame you didn't come further south and ride the oldest continually operating coaster in the entire world. It's not much but I would have though that would be a bucket credit for you simply because of the historical significance. Before Leap the Dips reopened it was the actual oldest operating coaster in the world. Now it's second, but still the oldest *continually* operating. I am talking of course about our Brakeman operated Scenic Railway.

[@mitchellries256]

So riddle me this (no Warner Brothers pun intended). Even though they're only found at the Universal parks right now, could this park build their own Wizarding World of Harry Potter since that is Warner Brothers IP?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It depends where the licensing agreements are valid for.

[@levib2177]

Can you rank the Intamin accelerators you’ve been on in a video please

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm probably going to wait until I get on Matugani and Speed Monster.

[@teddym2808]

@@CanobieCoaster You'll like Matugani, I did it as Kanonen in Sweden. I rank it better than Superman but not as good as Storm Runner, but you prefer Superman to Storm Runner, so, I'm guessing you'll put Matugani probably equal to SR.

[@jakeking7827]

can you review this park? and post a green lantern review?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I plan to review both. Those should be out within a month.

[@teddym2808]

Ok I think I worked it out. The RIDE system in Gremlins was MOVED to the old Batman ride building for Justice League. That's it. That's what it has to be and why the vehicles have zero dynamic movement and just move slowly through the course at the *exact* rate they did in the Gremlins ride. All makes sense now.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That would be a good way to reuse an old ride.

[@tboy5873]

Doubt they would reuse a 10 year old ride system IMO. Most likely it was sold for scrap and the Justice League has one just for that. Not to mention they were both done by different manufacturers (in-house for Gremlins, Sally for Justice League)

[@teddym2808]

@@tboy5873 Ten years is nothing. The movement speed and track design is IDENTICAL. That's exactly what they did, to save money. Sally just probably did the effects. Why wouldn't they have replaced a dynamic simulator with an exciting justice league then like the ones in six flags with really fast movement capabilities? It makes no sense. This was a money save.

[@motrydooto1698]

The park has more to offer than i initially thought

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a diverse offering.

[@aldoparise1224]

Was their Vekoma SLC scrapped? It is rare that a Vekoma SLC is scrapped. Although they are not the smoothest they tend to always be relocated

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, that's where the Wizard of Oz area is going.

[@trevorjensen2706]

I wonder if a backwards seat will be added to future rides. Seems like a solid idea.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope more are added.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I wonder why they are rumored to be placing the new half pipe coaster next to Superman

[@CanobieCoaster]

This park does not have a lot of land and the ride fits there.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

@@CanobieCoaster ok

[@WCfanboy]

4:28 LOL

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was so true.

[@teddym2808]

I think 3 family coasters was a missed opportunity, a big one. Yes I consider two boomerang tracks that aren't contiguous to be 2 coasters. I agree with the suspended, but they already have 2 sit down family coasters with scooby and road runner. So to add a third FC is great, I am all for it, keep the suspended as it's unique to that part of the country (there's only one other that is decades old and head banging at dreamworld) but they should have intertwined it with a raptor which probably would have been cheaper than two steel boomerang tracks anyway. This would have given the new area both family fun and hard core thrills, and that kind of coaster is what is needed in Australia now, as we have nothing that is off the charts like RMC do. It would have solidified Movie World as the number one thrill park even further. That's just how I feel about it, a raptor interacting with the family suspended. In fact I consider it a BIG missed opportunity after the other multi looper was removed (SLC). That's just too many family coasters and now the family outrides will handily outnumber thrills, so maybe they are trying to say something, I don't know. But what can't be denied is building one of each ride genre in that area would cater to all demographics.

[@CanobieCoaster]

What I think this park could really use is a year where they just add a lot of flat rides to round out their lineup. I know they're pressed for space, but I have to imagine they could squeeze some throughout.

[@teddym2808]

@@CanobieCoaster Dreamworld across the street has good flats, a Disco with middle hill, a gyro swing, a Gerstlauer fly and a Zamperla air race. They used to have this cool Vekoma diagonal top spin but they got rid of that. Let's not forget the almost 400ft giant drop that is re opening in a few weeks. Movie world could do with a couple but I don't think it's ever been their focus and TBH I am surprised that we have the Intamin 360 and the S&S space shot. I have to look at it objectively though and not from personal desire, as I want more coasters, but yeah, a couple more flats couldn't hurt, but this post was particularly about the 3 family coasters coming which I think is ridiculous. Do you not agree 1 family and thrill would have been better?

[@teddym2808]

I am pretty sure Justice League replaced the Gremlins ride and was in that very building - that's why it doesn't have the more simulated movement sensations of the modern style of track dark rides as it's using the old Gremlins track with all new theming. Edit, I apparently may be wrong on this. I am lost then why they didn't give it dynamic movement, I was certain it followed the old Gremlins track. I wonder what happened to that building then?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Gremlins is where Scooby Doo is now. I wish I could have gotten on that ride because I enjoy the film.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

Justice League replaced Batman: The Ride. Not a B&M, but it was a simulator like Star Tours! The building is quite small, which might explain your issue.

[@teddym2808]

@@ThemeParkOgre I know it was a sim I rode it many times.. I remember it clearly, you would start in his library then go through to a section with an animatronic and when he turned to reveal himself I was SO stunned at how good it was for back then (when MW first opened) and then you were ushered off into groups for the sim. I remember the Gremlins ride clearly as well, in fact, I really liked the effects on that one, the Gremlins looked amazing. But it was slow and for some reason I just confused where the new Justice League ride was placed, which I even corrected in my original comment. No biggie. Do you remember the looney tunes boat ride? They got rid of that too.. that had a cool elevator effect when you weren't actually moving, where you were supposed to be going down into the Earth before boarding, then the boat ride itself had a vertical lift to the final (shallow) drop. That was a god family ride.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

@@teddym2808 I rode Batman & Looney Tunes a lot back in the day. Both were great rides! Never did Gremlins as I was too scared as a kid. I regret that. You can still see glimpses of the Batman library queue in Justice League. The window behind the Justice League statue used to be part of the library, and the door way leading to the next room is exactly the same. I think the chandelier is the same, too.

[@coasterblocks3420]

It’s my home park and they only have two flat rides, like their other park SeaWorld. It’s absurd. As for Doomsday Explorer, just like Vortex at SeaWorld, it’s run too slow and the ride cycle is way too short. It’s even more ridiculous when there’s no one waiting for the ride, the ride just sits there waiting for patrons rather than give thrill seekers a decent ride. That’s part of the reason why I’m only going to be renewing my Dreamworld annual pass at the end of the year.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I wasn't too surprised by the lack of flats at Sea World. It reminded me of the composition of the US ones. I was surprised there weren't more at Movie World though.

[@coasterblocks3420]

@@CanobieCoaster SeaWorld now has less than half the rides it had in its peak when I was in high school. Both SeaWorld and Dreamworld suffered greatly from poor management over many years allowing the parks to be run into the ground. This is still visually apparent at SeaWorld with the slowly decaying remnants of the Vikings Revenge flume ride and the SBNO monorail. Whilst Dreamworld has a decaying former mine ride, at least it’s hidden behind trees and they seem to be really on the ball making up for past mistakes. I’m way more excited for the new developments happening at Dreamworld. SeaWorld has made some curious - or as Sir Humphrey Appleby would say, courageous choices of late.

[@teddym2808]

I am wondering if the reverse drop on WWF has been toned down. Before Superman, and I am not joking, not at all so please believe me, this was widely known in the community as the best pop of airtime on any Australian coaster and it's not even a coaster.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Even better than the wooden Wild Mouse? I tried the flume in the front and back, but I only got a little airtime on the hump.

[@WCfanboy]

Do you prefer DC rivals or superman the ride?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Backwards DC Rivals is very close to Superman the Ride. Superman is definitely better than DC Rivals forwards.

[@skyguyismyguyr12turn]

Is Batman & Robin your least favorite movie of all time?

[@CanobieCoaster]

One of the worst, but not the worst. I could actually make it through the film.

[@teddym2808]

I can't believe how much stuff was closed for your visit. And now they are closing Rivals for two months. I think they've lost the plot.

[@CanobieCoaster]

When I booked the trip, nothing was supposed to be down. Scooby was the most unfortunate miss, but at least the others were flats.
