😂 truth! 🤓😎

[@ThemeParkOgre]

That was really interesting! I've ridden this literally hundreds of times since it opened back in 2002. It was an amazing, world class coaster back in the day. In recent years it went way downhill, with the ride itself becoming very rough and the theming quality dropping significantly (the 3D screens were awful and replaced practical sets). Here's hoping they bring the ride back to its former glory in 2025! I think you guys will love it. 😁

[@jjperceval]

its hardly 3d screens

[@ThemeParkOgre]

@@jjperceval Not 3D as in "you wear glasses and things jump out at you" but 3D in that they used CGI footage projected onto screens.

[@jjperceval]

@@ThemeParkOgre thats just 3d animation

[@ThemeParkOgre]

@@jjperceval Yup, that's why I said 3D screens. Screens with 3D animation on them 😉

[@SplashSurfer216]

It does seem like they’re re-adding some of the old elements!

[@mackenziefritz8169]

This looks to be one of the best wild mouse coasters out there. In addition to the wild mouse potion you have an elevator lift, a large backwards drop, a turntable, and a huge prelift section that reminds me of Mystery Mine. Awesome!

[@ThemeParkOgre]

The elevator lift also tilted from side to side while going up! Considering it opened in 2002 the entire ride was way ahead of its time.

[@user-pl5ds8iz6q]

Shame you didn't get to ride it. The best part is actually the main section. The light show lasers and soundtrack are world class. It's hard to describe unless youve experienced it but It gets loud in there when it's fully operational. Sensory overload. In its prime easily the worlds best wild mouse

[@coaster365]

With this and Leviathan you just sold me that Australia (from a coaster perspective anyway) is way more than just DC Rivals

[@zacheryrankin7955]

Scooby Doo is one of my faves in the park. So excited to see its overhaul. Especially since after it’s large refurbishment a few years ago when they added projection mapping screens, seemed rushed and out of place for the ride. So hopefully they fix that up and make it a little more seamless

[@HotelBedSheets]

So great to know they keep stuff like that from movies in such good condition.

[@dimitrikyriacou5927]

[@StopChris_Films]

The ride looks way better the way it did back in the early 2000s. The animatronics are scarier than screens

[@egwic1944]

I remember riding it back in the day, the lazers in the main section back then, and the spider became one of my main childhood core memories, there was also another time we were riding and my brothers sunglasses came out of his pocket, he somehow caught them as we were going down the big drops. All I remember is seeing these sunnies just floating in our faces as we dropped 😂

[@maxhagenauer24]

It's crazy how much detail in theming goes into this.

[@nathanbishop8273]

Yeah I've been riding this coaster for years and too be honest I didn't realise until recently that it was actually a wild mouse coaster. Probably one of the best family coasters out there. Looking forward to what improvements will be made throughout its closure!😃

[@Marty_NZ]

I'm so jealous about this backstage access. Really cool! Still can't believe they announced this closure within a few days of me arriving. It's not like they probably knew months in advance and didn't even attempt to update their maintenance schedule on their site. Either way, closed coasters are sucky, but there's nothing you can do about it. Yes, I'm also talking about that other coaster.

[@maincoasters]

no way! they’re in atlanta and australia in the same day😱😱

[@kaylawhipple7570]

This reminded me to rewatch that movie. I haven't seen it since I was a kid so the clips lined up with the props were a great addition

[@Aerolandaircraft]

This is an incredibly well themed attraction. No ride (except Velocicoaster, of course!) would drop you into a scene from movie and have you enjoy such an authentic experience!

[@joshe5515]

Cool! Reminds me of when I used to work at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and got to track walk Loch Ness Monster

[@JustACooldude74503]

Thanks for showing us this! I had absolutely no idea that these props had been in the live action movie. I’ve ridden scooby-doo twice, both at fright nights with my sister, mum and dad and it was a great ride, especially with my mum screaming the whole time😂. I’m sorry you didn’t get to ride it, but maybe that cool tour of the ride made up for it a little. Hope you enjoyed your time here in Australia, and I can’t wait for the Movie World Vlog! Keep up the good videos.

[@ivantt9756]

I remember sitting on this ride 8 October 2022 during the Movie World Tweety's Birthday. I also went on this ride during Fright Nights 22 October 2022. I also went on this ride 17 December 2022 during White Christmas.

[@mandysmenagerie4466]

I was here last month and was really wanting to do this ride and was so bummed I just missed out! Hopefully next time!

[@SplashSurfer216]

It honestly looks like they are re adding in some of the animatronics of Scooby Doo and effects and fixing them up a bit!

[@HotelBedSheets]

You got to experience the attraction just like the Mystery Gang did in the movie. Amazing. Very lucky. I'd much rather prefer this amazing tour than to ride the thing. I'd still love to ride it though, don't get me wrong 😂

So sad you missed getting to ride the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster cause it is so much fun. My fav wild mouse.

[@LarryDarkMite2]

I worked Ops at this attraction back in 2001 - 2003. It was my favorite attraction to ride and work at..(except for working in the booth overlooking the start of the wild mouse portion. You had to wear earplugs to block out the insanely loud "rock" version of the Scooby Doo theme and it was still soooooo loud!!) I saw a video of a ride thru a couple years ago and it looked so sad compared to back then. So many effects were gone! (The fog & laser "portal" before the last dip was such a treat!!) I really hope they can bring it back to it's glory days. (if you ever have questions about other WB MovieWorld attractions from back then, let me know! I worked everything! Lethal Weapon, Harry Potter Movie Magic Experience, Wild Wild West Log Flumes, Scooby, Batman Adventure 2, all of Looney Tunes Village and more!)

[@DanielHarmer]

Ah yes... the High Zone and lift shifts lol. I worked there between 2011 and 2013 and loved my Scooby Shifts. Was always a fun ride to evacuate when it broke down. It was very temperamental back then haha, loved the morning track walks too!

[@briansieve]

The imagineer in my heart went nuts for this

[@tboy5873]

Really good video guys. Love this coaster, can’t wait to see it open again.

[@coasterblocks3420]

That was a cool personal tour. It is definitely a fun ride, especially for a Scooby-Doo fan. I hope you guys gave feedback to the park - all the parks - on ways they can improve the experience and offerings. My biggest gripe is the lack of flatrides. Just like Sea World at main beach, they only have two flat rides for adults. I had the day off work on Thursday so I went to Movie World. There were only three rides open which dropped to two 15 minutes after entering the park when Green Lantern went down, leaving just DC Rivals and the flume ride. I knew in advance both of their flat rides and two of the coasters were down for annual maintenance, but then for two of the few remaining rides go down just rubbed salt into the wound. That is 100% of their flat rides down and 80% of the roller coasters down. It’s totally unacceptable for a park billing itself as a destination to have such a wafer thin ride lineup. So feeling let down, I headed down to SeaWorld. At least Leviathan, Jet Rescue and Storm Coaster were operating but once again, both their flat rides - Vortex and Trident - were down, plus their monorail has been SBNO for years and their flume ride has also been a derelict eyesore for even longer. It’s just not good enough to have such a thin ride line-up. They need to have a greater variety so that when inevitably a ride or two goes down unexpectedly for whatever reason, there are still rides to enjoy. Sadly, there has been a long period of all our Gold Coast theme parks being run down, with ride after ride being removed with no replacements. There has been a belated turn around in investment, but this hardly comes close to rectifying the decline. Imagine going to a Six Flags or Cedar Fair park only to find there’s almost nothing open. You’d have a fit!

[@thedodafamily]

We need an entire theme park themed after Spooky Island.

[@detroitdiezel7856]

James Gunn didn't direct (or produce) the live action "Scooby-Doo" film, he just wrote the screen play. Raja Gosnell directed it. Same thing for the sequel. In regards to the ride itself, this looks right up my alley, up until the wild mouse section. I hate those cheap, cookie cutter coasters, so I was kind of bummed when I saw that portion. So I just watched a POV of this ride from a few years ago and it looked pretty cheesy. The lighting was awful (almost pitch black in most parts) so you couldn't see most of the animatronics, and the CGI / video screens were low budget and worse than the CGI in the actual movie. Hopefully, that will all get corrected in the refurb.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

The ride in the last few years was a shadow of its former self. The addition of the 3D screens, removal of some practical effects, props and a change to the story really soured the experience. Not to mention the ride system itself getting really rough and unreliable due to age. It was a world class attraction back in the day and was amazing in person. Here's hoping they do the ride justice in the refurb!
