Looney Tunes Land (1991–1997)
Kids' WB Fun Zone is a themed attraction in Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia based on the Looney Tunes cartoons. The attraction was originally named Looney Tunes Village and was renamed in late 2007 when two new rides were added.[1] At the same time, the Australian Kids' WB TV show began filming at the theme park.[2][3][4] Two similar themed attractions, Looney Tunes Land and Cartoon Village, opened at Warner Bros. Movie World Germany in Bottrop Kirchhellen, Germany in 1996 and Parque Warner Madrid in Madrid, Spain in 2002, respectively, with the latter remaining to this day.
Visitors can also meet and greet Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the other Looney Tunes characters.
History
Australia
Kids' WB Fun Zone opened with Warner Bros. Movie World as Looney Tunes Land on 3 June 1991. At the time, the only attractions were the Looney Tunes Studio Tour, Speedy Gonzales Tijuana Taxis, Looney Tunes Musical Revue, the Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court Toy Store, the Yosemite Sam Carrot Patch and a playground.[5] Alan Griffith Architect formed a strong working relationship with Warner Bros. International Recreation Enterprises on the attractions.[6] Sanderson Group designed the theming for Looney Tunes Land and its attractions.[7][8] In December 1997, Warner Bros. Movie World renamed the area Looney Tunes Village and added several new rides including Marvin the Martian's Rocket Ride, Taz Hollywood Cars, Sylvester and Tweety Carousel (later Sylvester and Tweety Cages) and Yosemite Sam's Railroad.[9] The addition of these rides forced the removal of the playground, while the Looney Tunes Studio Tour's name was changed to Looney Tunes River Ride.[10] On 26 December 2000, the Road Runner Roller Coaster opened on the former site of the Looney Tunes Musical Revue.[11] The Looney Tunes Musical Revue was relocated to a portion of land near the adjacent Village Roadshow studio complex where part of Superman Escape now stands.[12][13] In December 2001, Warner Bros. Movie World added the Looney Tunes Splash Zone.[9]
In September 2007, the area was renamed Kids' WB Fun Zone to tie in with the filming of Australian TV show Kids' WB at the park.[1][2] At the same time, the Looney Tunes Carousel and Sylvester's Pounce 'n' Bounce opened in the former locations of Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court Toy Store and the Yosemite Sam Carrot Patch's giant carrots. To avoid confusion between the Sylvester and Tweety Carousel and the newly-added Looney Tunes Carousel, it was also renamed, becoming Sylvester and Tweety Cages.[1] The removal of Marvin the Martian's Rocket Ride in 2010 was followed by the Looney Tunes River Ride the following year.[14]
In October 2012, Warner Bros. Movie World commissioned Liam Hardy of Sculpt Studios to design, manufacture and install the Mini Cars Driving School.[15] The ride would have allowed children to drive their own cars around a miniature version of the theme park. The ride was to be located in the Kids' WB Fun Zone where the Looney Tunes River Ride once stood, and was originally planned to open in September 2013.[16] Plans were reportedly put on hold due to Village Roadshow reallocating the investment towards an expansion of Sea World's Polar Bear Shores.[17] The ride would eventually open as Junior Driving School on 12 September 2014.[18] In April 2023, Warner Bros. Movie World added Marvin the Martian: Cosmic Boom.[19][20]

On 3 April 2004, Warner Bros. Movie World Germany was acquired by StarParks. This acquisition resulted in various Warner Bros.-licensed properties being removed from the park, including DC Comics and Looney Tunes.

In 2008, Beetle Dance, Robert's Rat Race, Max Mouse Moto, Brandy Bird's Hat Dance and the Movie Crew Carousel were removed from the park to make room for its Nickland expansion. The five attractions were relocated to Fiabilandia in Italy and rethemed to Marion, Babau Trucks, Max Mouse Motors, Anacleto and Ciack Carousel.[42][43]

- Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court Toy Store, also known as Bugs Bunny Toys and Bugs Bunny Toys and Gift Store, was a merchandise shop themed to Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court.[58] The shop's theming was designed by Sanderson Group.[7][8] It closed in 2007 to make room for the Looney Tunes Carousel.[3]
- Looney Tunes Musical Revue was a live show featuring Looney Tunes characters. Guests could check out Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Tweety, Sylvester, the Tasmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn and Lola Bunny as they took them on their musical journey through a decade of past hits as they competed to be the Gold Coast's No. 1 DJ. The show features music and fashion from the rock and roll days right through to the present with hits including "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!, and "If Ya Gettin' Down" by Five.[59][60][61][62][63] The show, hosted in an amphitheatre named the Looney Tunes Stage and designed by Sanderson Group, began in 1991 and was relocated in 2000 to a location where Superman Escape currently stands. When Superman Escape was constructed in 2005, the show was relocated again before ending and being replaced with Looney Tunes – What's Up Rock?!.[59][7][8]
- Looney Tunes River Ride was an indoor boat ride where guests would be taken on a journey to help find Bugs Bunny. The ride opened with the park in 1991 and closed in 2011 to make way for Junior Driving School.[14][64]
- Looney Tunes – What's Up Rock?! was a live show featuring Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Lola Bunny, Tweety, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote and the Tasmanian Devil, alongside Kids' WB hosts Georgia Sinclair and Shura Taft. Georgia and Shura are mysteriously locked in their dressing room and need to be rescued by the Looney Tunes, who have to run the show and save the day. The show featured music and dancing from rock music to showtime hits including "There's No Business Like Show Business", "Rock 'n' Roll Medley", "Shake a Tail Feather" and others. The show began in 2008 and ran in The Movie World Show Stage, before it was later moved outside to Main Street. Presumably, with this move, the show was scaled down significantly, as the Movie World Show Stage offered better lighting and sound.[65][66] After 2014, the show has never been performed.[67]
- Marvin the Martian's Rocket Ride, also known as Martian Capers and Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, was a Zamperla Crazy Bus similar to Warner Bros. Movie World Germany's Daffy Duck Thundercloud. It was themed to a rocket ship named the Martian Maggot (vandalized by Daffy Duck to read "The Duck Dodgers Mobile"), piloted by Marvin the Martian.[68] Theming around the ride related to the 1953 cartoon of the same name.[3] The ride was designed by Sanderson Group.[7][8] The ride was plagued with a variety of maintenance issues and was removed in 2010.
- Sylvester's Pounce 'n' Bounce, along with the Looney Tunes Carousel, opened in 2007 when the zone changed its name to the Kids' WB Fun Zone. Prior to the ride being built, the Yosemite Sam Carrot Patch's giant carrots were located here. This ride is a SBF Visa Happy Tower in a shape of a tree, and was modelled after Warner Bros. Movie World Germany's Tweety's Treehouse. Sylvester is mounted on the carriage and is trying to catch Tweety, who is at the top of the tree.[1][3][69] The ride was removed in 2020.
- Taz Hollywood Cars was a set of Zamperla Mini Bumper Cars similar to Warner Bros. Movie World Germany's Marc Antony's Autoscooter.[70] The ride was intended for younger children, as the cars were smaller and slower than the park's other similar rides. It takes place in an automobile repair shop, and was designed by Sanderson Group.[7][8] The attraction's building was refurbished and reopened in late 2016 as Taz Rest Stop, a rest and parent room for families with babies and young children.[71]
- The Yosemite Sam Carrot Patch was a restaurant with three giant carrots that guests could walk through. The carrots housed touchscreen displays with activities such as colouring in and puzzles. The restaurant's theming was designed by Sanderson Group.[7][8] Guests could sit and relax at the restaurant and enjoy country-fried chicken, hot dogs, donuts and carrot juice.[72] The restaurant would later serve healthy food choices, salad rolls and juices. When the Road Runner Roller Coaster opened in the former location of the Looney Tunes Music Revue (which was located next to the restaurant) in 2000, the restaurant's food outlet lost most of its audience and closed in 2001, and its giant carrots were removed and replaced with a seating area in 2007 to make room for Sylvester's Bounce 'n' Pounce, leading to the restaurant being renamed Yosemite Sam's Diner.[73]
- An unknown playground opened with the park in 1991 and closed when the area was renamed to Looney Tunes Village in 1997. Its theming was designed by Sanderson Group.[7][8]

Die Unendliche Geschichte - Auf der Suche nach Phantasien (The NeverEnding Story - In Search of Imagination) was a river rapids ride that was based on The NeverEnding Story and manufactured by Intamin.[93][23][94] The ride shared its water, maintenance pools and exit with Looney Tunes Adventure, and used music from the film.[95][96][97] The sound, light and motion effects were controlled by ASI systems from Anitech Systems Inc.[98] The ride was designed by Village Roadshow Theme Parks, while its animatronics and theming were designed and painted by Showtronix and Botticelli's - Atelier der angewandten Malerei.[99][100][26]
The ride began with guests entering a house with a library similar to Carl Conrad Coreander's bookstore. Guests get the feeling that they are shrinking, as the books in the bookcases that they pass appear to grow bigger and bigger.[101] The guests then enter a room with large books, one of which is open and has a picture (a video projection screen) of the Childlike Empress on its left page.[26] The Empress tells the guests that a terrible force called "The Naught" took over Fantasia and threatens to swallow the kingdom. Since she and the other Fantasia creatures only exist in dreams and stories and the people in the guests' world don't believe in them anymore, the Empress says that the guests can help save Fantasia and stop the Naught from swallowing it. She then shows them Auryn, the symbol of Curin, saying that it shows the endless power of fantasy, though Curin force vanishes and the Naught becomes stronger and stronger. Only the guests' dreams and imagination can bring Curin's meaning back. The Empress has also sent the guests rafts that will carry them through Fantasia, where they will have to overcome the strong waters and high waves, and the creatures of Fantasia are ready to accompany them. Through the gate in the book's right page, the guests will reach Fantasia, where the rafts will be waiting for them. The Empress begs them to save Fantasia as they are their only hope.[102] (Sometimes the pre-show video was not demonstrated due to the room being located underneath the water, and the water would slightly muffle the audio.)[103]
After that, the guests go through the gate and down some corridors, which lead to the loading station.[26] Guests get on 18 9-person rafts before being taken through a cave. Inside the cave, the guests' rafts are pulled up a lift hill, and the Naught is shown outside the cave's peepholes.[102] Guests then meet Gmork, who growls at them. They head for the cave's exit, complete with crystals, and exit it and travel through different parts of Fantasia, where they meet Pyornkrachzark the Rock-Biter, a racing snail who moves quickly around a mushroom (this animatronic was used in Film Studio Tour when the ride closed[104]), Morla (who sneezes in the guests' presence), and some scary trees.[102][26] Guests then come across the racing snail and Falkor (this animatronic was put away in one of the five studios behind Movie Park Germany for storage when the ride closed), who tells them to use their imagination, and enter a cave. Inside the cave, they go past the Auryn (as the Naught is defeated by their imagination) and the Ivory Tower, which is illuminated at night, indicating that the guests have saved Fantasia.[102][105][101] The ride ends with the Childlike Empress saying goodbye to the guests and thanking them for saving Fantasia, and the guests are unloaded after returning to the loading station.[102]
