Warner Bros. Movie World opening world’s first Wizard of Oz land in 2024 and the themed zone will have a suspended coaster, boomerang racer and the Yellow Brick Road.
Warner Bros. Movie World in Queensland, Australia has announced the world’s first The Wizard of Oz-themed area with two new family-friendly rides. Opening in 2024, the zone will have a suspended coaster, boomerang racer and immersive theming. This includes projection mapping, sculptures, immersive facades, and a Yellow Brick Road.
“The new precinct will be developed in the retired Arkham Asylum area and will transform the space into the colourful and vibrant world of Oz as seen in the nostalgic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz,” said Village Roadshow CEO, Clark Kirby (via Parkz).
“This precinct is going to be like nothing we have ever done at Movie World and we are working closely with our partners at Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment to make this one of the most beautifully themed precincts in Australian theme parks.”
The suspended coaster will reach speeds of up to 67 km/h, while the boomerang racer will boast maximum speeds of 58 km/h. The new area is a multimillion-dollar project.
