History & Significance
Opened in 1991, Warner Bros. Movie World became Australia's major movie-themed attraction, celebrating Hollywood entertainment and Warner Bros. intellectual property. The park has evolved to include DC Comics, Looney Tunes, and other Warner Bros. franchises, establishing itself as a flagship Gold Coast tourist destination.
Getting There
Located on the Gold Coast, roughly 30km south of Brisbane. Access via M1 motorway, exit at Oxenford. Nearest major town is Surfers Paradise (15km north). Limited public transport; hire car or tour bus recommended for most visitors.

- •Bring sunscreen and a hat; outdoor queue areas have limited shade
