Warner Bros. Movie World
— — a Hollywood backlot transplanted under a Queensland sky.
Not only on a wall.
“Warner Bros. Movie World sits on the Pacific Motorway at Oxenford, on Queensland's Gold Coast, a film-studio theme park opened in 1991. A pastel main street runs from the entry arch to the lake, with the DC-themed coaster precinct rising at the back of the property. The Hollywood Stunt Driver show fills the back lot at midday. Inland, the Hinze Dam catchment runs west into the McPherson Range. — from the studio

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

The place, in three passes.
Warner Bros. Movie World is a film-studio theme park on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, opened on June 3, 1991. It sits in the suburb of Oxenford, about 17 kilometres inland from Surfers Paradise along the Pacific Motorway. The park is owned and operated by Village Roadshow Theme Parks and is the centrepiece of a precinct that also includes Sea World and Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast. It is the only movie-related theme park in Australia, drawing more than 1.4 million visitors a year in its strongest seasons.
The park is open daily, with gates typically opening at 10 a.m. and shows running on a posted schedule through the afternoon. Single-day, multi-day, and annual passes share the gate with Sea World and Wet'n'Wild. Headline rides include the DC Rivals HyperCoaster, the tallest and longest roller coaster in the southern hemisphere at 61.6 metres, the Superman Escape launch coaster, and the Justice League dark ride. The Hollywood Stunt Driver arena show and the daily Star Parade run from the main lot. Parking is free at a large surface lot just off Entertainment Road.
DC Rivals HyperCoaster opened in 2017 as the park's signature ride, built by Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland to a layout that reaches 115 kilometres per hour over 1,400 metres of track. Superman Escape, opened in 2005, accelerates riders from zero to 100 km/h in two seconds on a Vekoma launch system. The Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D dark ride opened in 2012 and uses Sally Corporation ride vehicles tracking through interactive shooting sets. The original Main Street facade dates to the park's 1991 build and has been refreshed several times without changing its pastel Hollywood-backlot silhouette.
