MOVIE PARK - Germany Germany StarParks
Park News - (1/17/08) You can read all about the many changes on the way to Movie Park Germany at the Movieparkfan.de website. (9/26/07) Movie Park Germany has a new website to promote Halloween Horror Fest. It’s all in German of course, but what’s more eerie than listening to a creepy German voice-over with a little echo/reverb thrown in for good measure? Just wait… it gets better… get past the intro and into the main site and you’ll be entertained by some girl singing a song about god only knows what. They’ve also posted a ton of photos showing off the park’s decorations. (9/19/07) Parksmania has posted an interview with the PR manager of Movie Park Germany. In it they touch briefly on a replacement interactive attraction for the former Gremlins ride and mention that they have decided not to install the Stargate Atlantis themed attraction that was announced last year after they discovered that there were problems with the prototype in China. It’s a quick and easy read so check it out.
2008 - Shrek 4D, Splat-O-Sphere, Dora’s Big River Adventure, and more - (3/18/08) Movie Park Germany has opened the new Shrek 4D theater attraction, complete with a copy of the same pre-show experience seen at Universal Studios Florida. You can see pictures posted to Freizeitparkweb. (3/10/08) I’ve got a correction to make. It seems somewhere along the way a little something was lost in translation and some misleading information came out, so the new Dora’s Big River Adventure ride will actually be a new flume ride and not a conversion of the existing Bermuda Triangle ride. You can find a piece of artwork showing off the new ride here. (3/7/08) The latest buzz about Movie Park Germany from Coasterfriends.de confirms not only the new Shrek 4D attraction the name of the new Dora themes log ride (Dora’s Big River Adventure) along with the name for the new Chance Aviator (Splat-O-Sphere). (3/6/08) The latest rumors from Movie Park Germany indicate that Shrek 4D may be coming to the park’s 4D Theater. Local sources claim that the gift shop next to the theater is in the process of being painted green right now. Also the park has started a teaser campaign on their blog about this new secret attraction where they are showing off a blank image and adding a new small piece to it each day. There isn’t much to go yet but as you can see on this German park forum, a comparison between the Shrek 4D logo and what’s been revealed so far does match up. (1/18/08) You can find more updates about the changes coming to Movie Park Germany at Preview2008.de along with a ton of construction photos from the park. The plan is to remove Wonderland Studios to expand the Nickelodeon area, adding a themed Aviator ride and a Dora themed mini log flume along with a few other themed flat rides. The nearby Mack Mouse and Vekoma Roller Skater coasters will be rethemed as well. The site also teases about another yet to be announced new ride on the way for 2008. (12/7/07) The MovieParkFan.de website has made a list of the various changes coming to Movie Park Germany in 2008 (There is a list in German and under that it’s listed again in English.) In short it sounds like Nickland area will be expanded, Mystery River given a new theme, the Go Karts will be replaced by a new mini-flume ride of some kind, and look for new themeing for the park’s existing Mad Manor (Mack Wild Mouse) and Rocket Rider Rollercoaster (Vekoma Roller Skater). (12/3/07) Movie Park Germany will be adding a Chance Aviator in 2009 to the Nickelodeon area of the park.
???? - New Dark Ride - Semi-Confirmed - (10/27/06) A priority for the park in the future, as mentioned in an interview with the park’s GM, is to open something new inside the old Gremlin’s ride building. No details were given at this time. (11/7/05) The latest word comes from an interview with the park’s General Manager in a local paper. They apparently confirm an “interactive dark ride” on the way next season along with a new resort next to the park. The new ride will take the place of the old Gremlin’s ride. (6/24/05) The big speculation for the park’s next big ride is that something new will be designed to take the place of the old Gremlin’s ride that was not opened this season.
