The rumours are true! These rides are confirmed to be coming to Movie World, and they're themed to the Wizard of Oz! They will be named "Flight of the Wicked Witch" and "Kansas Twister", and will be opening late 2024. If you enjoyed the video, please consider Subscribing for more!

It's hard to replace a thrill ride with a family friendly ride especially if Lethal weapon was one of the top rides in Movieworld at the time. I think it needs another thrill ride
So Movie World seems to be hinting at a Wizard of Oz themed attraction or ride coming up. I think either of these rides could work. Although a looping coaster themed around the twister in the opening of the Wizard of Oz would provide some competition to Dreamworld's new Taipan.
Aussie here...I've ridden the oringial theming when it was Leathal Weapon and again as Arkham Asylum; both countless times....If they wanted us thrill seekers to be coming back...they need to be putting in like a B&M Raptor clone from Cedar Point IMO
I can understand them deciding to invest in some more family friendly 'thrill coasters' as the park already has a solid selection of 'extreme' coasters. The Vekoma SFC they're getting is a solid model and really fun! (I'd love a B&M one day though)
The racing one looks like it has good airtime and pasting at the start of the ride but the ending looks boring if the chainlift was a bit higher on it it would be worth it :)
I’m gonna be honest if this rumour is true I’ll be a bit disappointed. It seem’s like the Gold Coast theme parks only put in roller coasters (big or small) with only the theming of a six flags park. They should try a be more creative with dark rides like at Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi
It would’ve been nice to have the new suspended coaster have a bit more thrill like Arkham asylum did such as going upside down and some more technical stuff and you would still have the family racer but sadly they aren’t doing that I’m still looking forward to them just I loved Arkham and am definitely disappointed at its replacement
I do wish they went with a more thrilling replacement for Arkham, but I do understand their reasoning for it as Oz is a family brand. I've ridden the model though at another park and I'm happy to say it was a lot of fun!
Movie World needs a new thrill ride - the removal of arkham asylum has already increased queue times for other rides - DC is the only new ride in recent history and is PAINFUL to queue for
i honestly just wish they'd do more dark rides :( movie world shud focus on being a theme park more than an amusement park.. although the outdoor coasters aren't as bad as those like carnival portable type rides they've been doing
if your going to do it, than just take the Kansas ideas for a full wizard of oz theme park and make that and not add small crappy coasters with a theme to them instead of just doing the full IP and the books. This doesn't look at all like Kansas, or any kind of exciting kind of Oz area at all.
I say build one of those flat rides like the Redback at Movie World and theme it to the Twister scene. It wouldn't be much, but it could be great for at least 1 new thrill.
The second one is stupid. The first one is barely ok, but it would need better theming...the 'under construction' theme seems well intentioned but lacks depth and richness.
The version we're getting at Movie World will hopefully be well themed. They look pretty good in the concept art: movieworld.com.au/-/media/project/movieworld/assets/attractions/wizard-of-oz/11_woz.jpg
