Movie World is located on the western side of the Pacific Motorway at Oxenford, adjacent to Wet'N Wild, and is about 15 minutes from Surfers Paradise by car. Leaving the Gold Coast, head north out of Surfers and look for the Brisbane road sign at Smith Street - turn left, and you'll get there.

Movie World, opened in 1991, is really 'Two Things In One.' The Serious Side is a fully operational film studio with a big stages and the latest state-of-the-art movie making equipment.

The Fun Side of Movie World is what most of us want to see. But having 'Two Things In One' means work for young actors in the Fun Park, while being 'on-tap' for their big break, when it comes from the movie studio next door. movie world gold coast

Every day you'll see stunt shows and things happening right in front of you as you walk down the street. How about a hold-up like you'd expect from the hilarious Police Academy team.movie world gold coast

How about a car being blown up; and the classic film shot a man being shot and falling from the building, plus more antics than your brain can cope with - what a gas? movie world gold coast

What about you passing a Bank as a robber dashes out ... the Policeman who was quietly talking to some people, suddenly takes off after him, draws his gun letting off a number of shots ... it all happens so naturally that you want to duck for cover yourself. It's a blast ... sorry about that ... even for us big kids.movie world gold coast

While it is entertaining it is also informative about the nature of stunts in a movie. Other attractions include the Road Runner Rollercoaster, Looney Tunes Village, the Wild West Falls ride and a suitably scary Scooby Doo rollercoaster. movie world gold coast

And that's only part of the Movie World experience.
