We had a great time! We went the last week of January. I think the longest we waited in line to get on a ride was 30mins to get on the Scooby Doo ride. All the rides were really fun except the Justice League ride which was really lame. Would certainly recommend coming here!
This is a fun, but very expensive day out. We spent a day at movie world with the kids and had a great time. I would recommend going outside the school holiday times as the lines to get on the rides were up to an hour long. Food is EXCEEDINGLY expensive so I would recommend bringing your own sandwiches (commercially prepared food is not allowed in)
Yes, I agree - bring your own lunch to avoid overspending.
I agree.
We recently went to Movieworld on the 2nd January - big mistake! It was so hot & so busy. I would definitely not recommend coming here at such a peak time - especially with little kids. Hubby & I waited around 40 mins for the Superman rollercoaster (which was pretty good) and prob the same wait for Arkham Asylum rollercoaster (which was AWESOME!). We also took the kids on a couple of little kiddie rides but apart from that, that's all we did. The line-up & wait for the other rides & the shows was ridiculously long & there was barely any shade so we couldn't do anything else. Thankfully we got a buy 3 VIP Tickets get 1 free which gives you 6 months access to Movieworld, Seaworld & WetnWild - which worked out pretty good value for our family.
Approximate cost: $110
This story is so familiar. We have tried twice in peak times with the same result.
Yep, avoid the peak times when possible. It's not worth the pain of waiting with kids. If you are an adult, maybe it's fine, but still annoying to not enjoy the day to full capacity.
I agree.
Great value if you live in Queensland and get a season pass. If not, it can be a bit pricey. Simply a fun day out with a lot of visual stimulation and options to keep the excitement going.
Approximate cost: $75+
The price is not too bad really when you think about what you get. Souvenirs
I agree.
I'll be honest and say I wasn't expecting much from Movie World, I thought it was going to be just some overpriced kids playground that steals all your money. I couldn't be more wrong though, this place is actually very good. Plenty to see and do, the rides are fun, plenty of places to have a nice lunch and shows a plenty. I've always enjoyed cartoon characters and this place has elements that really took me back to my childhood. Absolutely loved the batman themed attractions, loved the scooby ride too. Parking is great. It can get a little bit on the expensive side especially when you buy official merchandise and pay for lunch etc, but it's worth it. I'd definitely be keen to go again. I miss bugs bunny *smile*
You're right about the rides and yes it is expensive.
I loved the Scooby Doo ride too. I went on it twice!
I agree.
This place is fantastic,it's such a great day out.There is something for all the family,from all the characters,shows, rides & shops.They do a parade down the main strip with all the characters & it's good to get a spot early so you can see them all.You may need to queue for some rides but it will be worth it,I loved the scooby doo roller coaster,even though I screamed a fair bit.They have quite a few different options for food,so your best to look around for the best deals.You can also buy a drink in a reusable cup,which you can then take back & get it refilled at a cheaper price.Make sure you wear comfortable shoes because you will spend a lot of time walking,but they do have seats around the place so you can sit for a while.There's a lot of souvenir shops & some have really good deals,so best to look around before buying.Also look into buying a multi pass for more than one park because it will work out cheaper.A great day out & will definitely be going back again.
I agree.
A must do if you have children (of even if you don't!) in your lifetime. The best advice I can give is plan ahead. There is so much to see and do and one day is not enough to get around to see all the shows, go on rides, etc. My children love when we go on holidays to the Gold Coast and this is their favourite theme park. There are attractions for all ages. It is expensive to go, but the value you get out of it is well worth it.
Approximate cost: $85 (adult)
I've been here twice, do I want to go again, heck yes!!!!!
I agree.
LOVE this place!!
i went here a few years ago with my boyfriend and we had the best time!!
we got the 3 park superpass pretty it got us into the 3 parks.
loved the rides, amazing food.
highly recommend for anyone who is on the gold coast!!
I agree.
We took our kids and they absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave at the end of the day.. If you get an annual pass it makes it a lot more economical as we just paid $80 per person which we can use year round, rather than the standard $80 entry fee without it.. It's a great place to let the kids run around and meet other kids as well as the life sized characters walking throughout the park.. I highly recommend it to all families or the young at heart.
An annual pass is great if you're going more than once. Another way to make the most of your trip is to go off-peak so that you don't have to wait long for rides. May is a good month to go.
I agree.
Have been enjoying movie world since I was young, its a great family day out with so much to see and it just seems to get better and better, if u havnt been u shoukddefinitely go or ur missing out
I agree.
