Warner Bros. Movie World is a theme park on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Owned and operated by Village Roadshow's Theme Parks division, the park opened on 3 June 1991. An array of park attractions are based on Warner Bros. and related DC Comics properties, from thrill rides such as Batwing Spaceshot and Superman Escape to family attractions such as Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D and Wild West Falls Adventure Ride, entertainment at the Roxy Theatre and the Hollywood Stunt Driver live show. Film characters regularly roam the grounds to interact and take photos with guests. Each afternoon, characters participate in a parade along Main Street. The seasonal Fright Nights and White Christmas events are hosted annually. The park has survived financial hardships and remains among Australia's most popular tourist destinations. As of 2016, it receives a yearly average of 1.4 million visitors. (Full article...)
- Most recent similar article(s): Broadly speaking (per scope of WP:APARKS), Riegelmann Boardwalk on 5 March 2021, which is a leisure precinct not a park; a closer article would be the kids' amusement park Idlewild and Soak Zone from 1 May 2009 (12 years ago!). Warner Bros. Movie World would be Wikipedia's first ever true theme park TFA.
