Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast in Australia has unveiled a stunning new addition that is a standout not just in the park, but across the entire Australian theme park landscape.
The all-new Wizard of Oz precinct invites guests to step beyond the rainbow and into a richly detailed world inspired by the timeless 1939 film.
At the heart of the new Wizard of Oz area are two brand-new family coasters, both built by the acclaimed Vekoma Rides and designed to thrill without overwhelming younger guests.

From the moment you enter, you're surrounded by iconic scenery, immersive storytelling, and clever nods to the original film. Whether you're revisiting a childhood favourite or sharing the story of Oz with a new generation, this glorious precinct offers something genuinely magical.
Flight of the Wicked Witch
This suspended coaster gives the feeling of soaring through Oz. With a 454-metre track, a height of 19 metres, and speeds reaching up to 67 km/h, it’s fast enough to thrill but smooth and accessible for younger riders. The ride is packed with themed elements, including visual surprises that make every twist and turn feel like part of the story.

Kansas Twister
Designed as a boomerang-style racer, this ride features two side-by-side tracks (measuring 225 and 220 metres) that launch riders forward and backward through a series of fun drops and turns. Climbing to 22 metres and topping out at 58 km/h, it’s a fantastic way to relive the wild energy of a Kansas tornado—only much more fun and far less dangerous!

Step Into the Story
The new land is more than just coasters. It’s a beautifully crafted space where attention to detail shines at every turn. You can follow the Yellow Brick Road, pass through a realistic Kansas setting, and eventually find yourself surrounded by the glowing spires of the Emerald City. The whole area feels like a physical manifestation of the film—colorful, whimsical, and thoughtfully layered.
It’s clear the creative team has gone all-in with immersive design and technology. From the use of lighting and projection effects to cleverly placed audio and animated features, the precinct blends theme park thrills with theatrical storytelling in a way that feels fresh and exciting.
