Park News - (10/12/11) The local news reports that a possible new set / house for Big Brother reality show may be under construction at WB MovieWorld in Australia. If true, this would be a change of scenery, as the reality show’s stage-house was previously located at Dreamworld.
    (9/14/11) A former paralympic gold medallist in Australia was stunned upon visting WB MovieWorld this past week only to find out that a new policy change had banned her from experiencing any attraction that moved. During a previous visit two years before, she says he was given an assessment and permitted to ride, but the fallout over the death of United States war veteran who was a double amputee and thrown from the Ride of Steel coaster at Darien Lake has caused parks all over the world to reassess their policies concerning what attractions disabled guests can still ride. You can read the full report here.
    (7/29/11) A fun trip report from WB MovieWorld Australia has been posted to Westcoaster this week. Take a peek and enjoy!
    (3/29/11) If you’ve always wanted to see a front seat POV video of the Superman coaster at WB MovieWorld Australia, you can now, thanks to a Theme Park Review trip to the park. I know I’ve heard about the brief “dark ride” scenes inside the ride before it launched into the high speed outdoor segment, but I’ve never seen them before now.

2011/2012 - Green Lantern Coaster - (12/27/11) Take a virtual ride on the new Green Lantern Coaster (S&S El Loco) at WB MovieWorld and watch the POV video footage embedded below.

    (12/2/11) Some new footage of the Green Lantern coaster testing at WB MovieWorld had been posted to YouTube a couple of days ago.

    (11/22/11) The details about the new Green Lantern coaster have finally been released by WB MovieWorld. They describe the ride as having the steepest drop (120º) in the Southern Hemisphere, that will pull 3.5g’s and his speeds up to 66kph (41mph) while travling through it’s 488 meters (1601 ft) of track.

    (11/16/11) Take a look at the new four across El Loco trains from S&S for the Green Lantern coaster at WB MovieWorld Australia. Quite stunning looking… and you may notice those little circles near the top of each seat. Can you say… speakers! Looks like Green Lantern will have an onboard soundtrack as well. Nice!
    (10/19/11) Green Lantern’s insane look first drop is now in place. Check it out over at Parkz.
    (10/17/11) New pictures of Green Lantern’s structure going up quickly can be found at Parkz.
    (10/3/11) Construction on the new Green Lantern coaster is moving along very quickly, as the lift hill already looks to be about half way built by now. Check out the latest construction pictures posted to Theme Park Review. (Scroll Down a bit…)
    (9/12/11) According to local area sources, the new coaster apparently is a new S&S El Loco style coaster, and which is expected to be themed to Green Lantern. They are hoping to put up the coaster quickly and have it ready to open by Boxing Day which will fall on December 26th.  According to new rumors, this may be the tallest S&S El Loco coaster to date. Another rumor claims that the coaster may feature new style cars with 4-across seating, but I can’t confirm this aspect just yet, so stay tuned.

2012 - Arkham Asylum – Shock Therapy - (4/11/12) A video showing off a look at some of the new queue and themeing at WB MovieWorld’s new Arkham Asylum: Shock Therapy coaster has been embedded below. The audio and video quality are not the best, but it will give you an idea of what’s been done. Check it out.

    (3/13/12) WB MovieWorld has confirmed that Lethal Weapon will be rethemed as Arkham Asylum – Shock Therapy. The ride will feature brand new trains (from Kumbak) that will feature a new very open lap-bar style restraint system (with shoulder straps) that will also feature an on-board audio system.
    (3/9/12) The latest rumor about the fate of the Lethal Weapon coaster claims that they could be re-themeing it to Arkham Asylum, from the Batman comic universe. Could be very fun if true… though I think I’d rather see an Arkham dark ride instead.
    (3/7/12) So any word yet on what WB MovieWorld is going to do to retheme Lethal Weapon?
    (2/1/12) According to the official Facebook page for WB MovieWorld the Lethal Weapon coaster will be renamed and rethemed to provide “an experience straight from your darkest nightmares!” in time for Easter. I’ve also heard that new trains could be added to the ride from Kumbak as part of this project. Local sources tell me that the entrance is being moved to the DC Comics area, so perhaps the ride may take on a Super Villain theme of some kind.

???? - Future Expansion - Planning - (9/1/10) I’ve been told that in addition to expanding the park a bit, the plan is to also add a sort of Dining / Shopping / Entertainment area like a Universal Citwalk to the section closest to the road.
    (8/19/10) The local government is likely to turn down the current draft of a proposed expansion plan for WB MovieWorld. They would like more detail about what might be added to a section of land located between the highway and the park.
