Roll out the red carpet for a blockbuster day out at Warner Bros. Movie World on Queensland’s Gold Coast. This isn’t just a theme park—it’s a fully immersive Hollywood experience where movie magic meets adrenaline-pumping rides. From the moment you step onto Main Street, you’re surrounded by larger-than-life characters, behind-the-scenes stunt shows, and thrill rides that rival any on the continent. Whether you’re a die-hard DC fan or just looking for a family-friendly day of fun, Movie World delivers cinematic excitement with a distinctly Australian twist.
Highlights & What to See
- DC Rivals HyperCoaster – Southern Hemisphere’s tallest, fastest, and longest hypercoaster, with a 122-metre drop that’ll have you screaming like a supervillain.
- Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D – An interactive dark ride where you team up with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to save the planet.
- Superman Escape – A launched roller coaster that rockets you from 0 to 100 km/h in two seconds flat.
- Hollywood Stunt Driver 2 – A pulse-pounding live show featuring precision driving, explosions and motorbike stunts.
- Looney Tunes-themed area – Perfect for little ones, with gentle rides, splash zones and meet-and-greets with Bugs Bunny and friends.
- Main Street & Roxy Theatre – Soak up the glamour of a 1940s Hollywood set, complete with parades and character encounters.
Suggested Time to Spend
Devote a full day to Warner Bros. Movie World to experience all the major rides and shows without rushing. Arrive at opening time (usually 9:30am) to tackle the DC Rivals HyperCoaster before queues build. Plan your day around the showtimes for Hollywood Stunt Driver 2 and the daily parade—these are unmissable. If you’re short on time, a half-day (from noon to closing) still lets you hit the top three coasters and one stunt show, especially on quieter weekdays. The park is compact and easy to navigate, so you won’t waste time walking between zones.
