Visual Archive
Movie World is the anchor of the Gold Coast theme-park strip and the only Warner Bros. park in the southern hemisphere.
DC Rivals HyperCoaster is the tallest and fastest in Australia, the Superman Escape launch coaster hits 100 km/h in two seconds, and Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster remains a well-regarded indoor dark ride. Daily stunt shows, a Main Street parade and a Star Parade of costumed DC and Looney Tunes characters give it more show content than its size suggests.
