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]

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]

Germany

On 30 June 1996, Looney Tunes Land (known as Looney Tunes on the section's entrance) opened with Warner Bros. Movie World Germany. At the time, the only attractions were Bugs 'n' Friends Rock 'n' Roll Party, the Looney Tunes Studio Tour, Toys Toys Toys, Speedy Gonzales Taxi, Daffy's Donut Shop, Cartoon Snacks, the Interactive Village, Die Unendliche Geschichte - Auf der Suche nach Phantasien, Porky Pig Parade, Elmer Fudd's Tractor Race, the Daffy Duck Thundercloud, Marc Antony's Autoscooter, Taz 500, Tweety & Sylvester Jr. Chase, Yosemite Sam Rail Road and Roadrunner Achterbahn.[21][22][23] Zeitgeist Design and Production's Ryan Harmon served as the Director of Show Development for Warner Bros. International Recreation Enterprises, where he conceived, wrote and managed the design team for Warner Bros. Movie World in Germany's worth of rides, shows and attractions, including Looney Tunes Land and its attractions.[24][25] The area and its attractions' theming were designed by Botticelli's - Atelier der angewandten Malerei and Sanderson Group.[26][27] Alan Griffith Architect was also involved in the attractions' development.[6] Two years later in 1998, the park added Looney Tunes Park, and the Looney Tunes Studio Tour was renamed Looney Tunes Adventure.[28][22][23] In 1999, the Looney Tunes Tea Party opened, followed by Tom and Jerry - Mouse in the House (forcing the removal of the Interactive Village) and the Looney Tunes Carousel on 2 June 2000.[29][22][23] In 2001, Tweety's Treehouse opened at the park, and Bugs 'n' Friends Rock 'n' Roll Party was renamed Bugs 'n' Friends Music Party.[30][31][32][33][34] From 1 October 2002 to October 2007, the Looney Tunes Tea Party and Marc Antony's Autoscooter were used for the Halloween Horror Festival as Tea Cup Madness and Halloween for Kids, respectively.[35][36] On 12 April 2003, Speedy Gonzales Taxi reopened as Speedy Gonzales Go Cart Races.[37][38]

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. The Looney Tunes Tea Party closed in mid-September 2004, while Looney Tunes Land closed along with Warner Bros. Movie World Germany on 31 October 2004.[39] On 19 March 2005, Movie Park Germany opened with Looney Tunes Land, Bugs 'n' Friends Music Party, Looney Tunes Adventure, Speedy Gonzales Go Cart Races, Daffy's Donut Shop, Cartoon Snacks, Die Unendliche Geschichte - Auf der Suche nach Phantasien, Porky Pig Parade, Elmer Fudd's Tractor Race, the Daffy Duck Thundercloud, Marc Antony's Autoscooter, Taz 500, Tweety & Sylvester Jr. Chase, Yosemite Sam Rail Road, Roadrunner Achterbahn, Looney Tunes Park, the Looney Tunes Tea Party, Tom and Jerry - Mouse in the House, the Looney Tunes Carousel and Tweety's Treehouse being rethemed to Wonderland Studios, Meet the Moviecrew, Ice Age Adventure (now Movie Park Studio Tour), Mister Valentino's Go Kart Race, Wonderland Donuts, Wonderland Studio Snacks, Mystery River (now Excalibur - Secrets of the Dark Forest), Beetle Dance, Robert's Rat Race, Flying Cloud, Ram Jam, Max Mouse Moto, Brandy Bird's Hat Dance, the Wonderland Studios Steam Tour, Rocket Rider Rollercoaster, Wonderland Park, Dishwasher, Mad Manor, the Movie Crew Carousel and Miss Patricia's Treehouse, respectively, while Toys Toys Toys was given different colours and had its name dropped (the shop would retain its name in 2006).[40][41] Ice Age Adventure and Mystery River were located in a section hidden behind Wonderland Studios named Adventure Lagoon. 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]

Spain

On 6 April 2002, Cartoon Village opened with Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid (now Parque Warner Madrid). At the time, the only attractions were ACME Fábrica Tours, Tom y Jerry: Picnic en el Parque, La Casa de le Abuelita, La madriguera de Bugs Bunny, El Camerino del Pato Lucas, Scooby-Doo's Tea Party Mystery, Looney Tunes Park, Looney Tunes: ACME Air Mail, Cartoon Carousel, Marvin el Marciano Cohetes Espaciales, Piolín y Sylvestre Paseo en Autobús, La captura de Gossamer on the Loose!, Wile E.

Green at Green Hall Design and Corpórea Escultura.[46][47] Cartoon Village has a fountain, complete with Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Speedy Gonzales, Marvin the Martian, the Tasmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepé Le Pew, Penelope Pussycat and Lola Bunny. The fountain and characters were designed by Tom Wagman.[48]

On 16 June 2005, La Aventura de Scooby-Doo opened at the park.[44][49][50] In 2006, ACME Park opened, and ACME Fábrica Tours' name was changed to ACME Rápidos.[51] On 28 May 2009, Correcaminos Bip, Bip opened to the general public after its grand opening 12 days prior on 16 May 2009, followed by Emergencias Pato Lucas, ¡A toda máquina!, Escuela de conducción Yabba-Dabba-Doo and He visto un lindo gatito on 10 June 2011.[52][53][54][44] On 26 June 2013, Parque Warner Madrid added Academia de Pilotos Baby Looney Tunes.[55][44]

Former attractions

Sylvester's Pounce 'n' Bounce
  • 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.[56] 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 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][62]
  • 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. After 2012, the show has never been performed.[63][64]
  • 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.[65] 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][66] 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.[67] 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.[68]
  • 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.[69] 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.[70]
  • 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]

Attractions

Junior Driving School

Junior Driving School is a mini-cars attraction. The ride allows children to drive their own cars around a miniature version of Warner Bros.

This ride, along with Sylvester's Pounce 'n' Bounce, opened in 2007 when the zone changed its name to the Kids' WB Fun Zone. Prior to the ride being built, the Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court Toy Store was located here. This ride is a carousel with several Looney Tunes characters which guests can ride on, including Bugs Bunny (riding on a magic carpet), Daffy Duck (playing ice hockey), Sylvester, Marvin the Martian (riding in a rocket ship), Wile E. Coyote (riding on a rocket) and the Road Runner.[3] The ride was modelled after Warner Bros. Movie World Germany's Looney Tunes Carousel and designed by Tom Wagman.[48]

Movie World's Speedy Gonzales Tijuana Taxis.[83][23][28][84] The track was just wide enough to let one small, slower go-kart (formerly taxis) at a time through, forcing them in the one direction. The karts would reach a speed of 30 km/h (18.64 mph), and were manufactured by Formula-K.[85] The ride's name and most of its theming were changed in 2003, with the theming featuring Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester.[38][86][87]

Die Unendliche Geschichte - Auf der Suche nach Phantasien

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.[90][23] The ride shared its water, maintenance pools and exit with Looney Tunes Adventure, and used music from the film.[91][92][93] The sound, light and motion effects were controlled by ASI systems from Anitech Systems Inc.[94] The ride's theming and animatronics were designed and painted by Botticelli's - Atelier der angewandten Malerei.[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.[95] 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 Childlike 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 and stop the Naught from. 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.[96] (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.)[97]

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.[96] 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[98]), Morla (who sneezes in the guests' presence), and some scary trees.[96][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.[96][99][95] 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.[96]

In 2004, the car statue was used in Film Studio Tour before the ride closed.[98]
