Entrance to WB Movie
Word Germany
|
WB Movie World Germany is operated by the European division of
Six Flags. Six Flags European Season Pass holders can get in with
their season pass.
Me and some friends went to WB Movie World Germany on october 27,
2001 for Halloween. Be sure to read the tripreport
here.
The park is located in Bottrop, Germany, not too far from the border
with the Netherlands.
 |
|
Hollywood Boulevard
|
The park is divided in several themed areas (like most parks):
The Hollywood Street Set
When you enter the park, you'll find yourself on Hollywood Boulevard.
This area consists mainly of some shops and restaurants, but also
has a few attractions, like Movie Magic,
Bermuda Dreieck, the Police
Academy Stunt Show and a 3D theatre. There's also the studio
tour, but if you've been on the one from Universal
Studios Hollywood, skip this one (this one is not even close
the Universal one).

Looney Tunes Land at
night
|
Looney Tunes Land
On one side of the Hollywood Street Set, is Looney Tunes land. Mostly
a kids area, but it's also got rafts and a wild mouse coaster. Some
of the attractions you will find here are Neverending Story (rafts),
Tom & Jerry's Mouse in the House
(steel wild mouse coaster), Coyote's
and Roadrunner's rollercoaster (kids coaster).

The Old West
|
The Old West
As the name hints, this area is themed in wild west style. It's
main attraction is Wild Wild West, a
wooden rollercoaster. You will also find a big theatre here, were
you can watch a western show (during the Halloween season you can
watch a special Halloween show here).
 |
|
Warner Music Club (restaurant)
|
Marienhof
Somehow Sunset Boulevard ended up in this area (would have expected
a street with such a name to be part of the Hollywood Street Set).
Some of the attractions in this area are: Lethal
Weapon Pursuit (steel racing rollercoasters) and Gremlins invasion.
You can find the official WB Movie World Germany website here.
WB Movie World is operated by the European

of three parts. The first part shows you blue screen effects
and the others foley (adding sound effects to movies) effects
and a miniature and lifesize models. Volunteers from the audience
