Journey Over the Rainbow at Warner Bros. Movie World in the all-new THE WIZARD OF OZ™ Precinct
Warner Bros. Movie World guests can now travel the iconic YELLOW BRICK ROAD™ with the world-first THE WIZARD OF OZ™ precinct featuring two new family-friendly rides officially opening today. In this new multi-million-dollar precinct, guests can embark on a wicked adventure aboard the suspended family coaster, The Flight of The Wicked Witch and experience the ultimate twists and turns on the family boomerang racer, Kansas Twister.
Village Roadshow CEO, Clark Kirby said the world-first precinct has transformed Movie World into the colourful and vibrant world of Oz as some the most incredible scenes from the nostalgic 1939 film THE WIZARD OF OZ™ are brought to life. “THE WIZARD OF OZ™ precinct is like nothing we have ever done at Movie World where incredible theming and technology complements the physical ride elements to provide a unique and immersive guest experience,” Mr Kirby said. “We have worked closely with our partners at Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences to make this one of the most immersive and beautifully themed precincts in any Australian theme park and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it.”
Village Roadshow Theme Parks COO, Bikash Randhawa said THE WIZARD OF OZ™ precinct provides more family experiences for Movie World guests. “Our team have worked diligently on this precinct, and we are excited to officially open THE WIZARD OF OZ™ precinct today which we know will become a major drawcard for the Gold Coast and showcases Village Roadshow Theme Parks commitment to the Tourism industry,” he said. “THE WIZARD OF OZ™ precinct beautifully complements our existing attractions and creates even more joy and memories for our guests at Movie World.”
"Flight of the Wicked Witch and Kansas Twister are part of the unique, world’s first Wizard of Oz precinct. Beautifully-themed, the precinct is full of life with incredible queue lines and pre shows. Kansas Twister has one of the coolest queue line moments I have experienced," said Ricardo Tonding Etges, VP Sales & Marketing Vekoma Americas. "The interaction of the three coaster tracks and trains in one area is also mind-blowing and world’s first. The coasters offer a unique combination of different family-thrill experiences, with suspended, sit-down, forwards, backwards and racing experiences, all at one place - not to mention the incredible smoothness of the rides, a trademark of our modern coasters."
