The Warner Bros Movie World theme park in the Gold Coast will launch a new attraction this December that will take visitors and corporate groups into the world of red-heeled Dorothy and her wicked witch nemesis.
Follow The Yellow Brick Road features two family-friendly coasters – The Flight of the Wicked Witch, which zips through up to 67kmh, and Kansas Twister, a dual-track ride that reaches a maximum speed of 28kmh.
Corporate groups can meet and play in the fantasy Land of Oz in two unique venues within The Yellow Brick Road attraction. The Wizard’s Chamber is an elegant indoor venue that takes up to 140 pax in banquet-style, while The Emerald City Plaza outdoor space can accommodate around 350 guests.
Other photogenic features that corporate groups will appreciate include the towering Emerald Castle serving as a stunning backdrop; Munchkin Land, where iconic movie scenes come to life; and Lilypad Platform, ideal for welcome speeches and event entertainment.
Caroline Duveau-Clayton, head of conferences and event, Village Roadshow Theme Parks, which manages Warner Bros Movie Studio, told TTGmice at the This Is Gold Coast 2024 destination tradeshow: “This is our first new event space in a long time at the theme park, so we are very excited.”
“With two new family-friendly coasters, wicked new event spaces and the most incredible scenes from the classic film brought to life before your eyes, you will want to follow the iconic Yellow Brick Road to your next event!”
She also emphasised the versatile support Village Roadshow Theme Parks can offer corporate event planners and groups, whether or not they choose to take their next event to the new attraction. With six properties – including the 403-key Sea World Resort – that offer 64 event venues in total, she pointed out that Village Roadshow Theme Parks was “just one phone call away to getting everything organised for corporate groups”.
“Our venues can do events from 10 delegates up to several thousand. We just had a 5,000-pax event a few weeks ago. And because we have extensive catering and production resources from across six properties, we are able to customise experiences for our corporate clients,” she said.
