The world's bravest Great Dane super hero is coming to Warner Bros. Movie World in June 2002 with the launch of the scariest, spookiest spine-tingling rollercoaster ever created!

Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster is a $13 million indoor rollercoaster ride inspired by the feature film shot at Warner Roadshow Movie World Studios on the Gold Coast starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.

Prepare for the supernatural as you enter the creepy dimly lit courtyard and move into the heart of Spooky Castle - watch out for ghouls, gargoyles and the odd talking suit of armour!

Coaster cars carefully replicated from Scooby Doo the film, launch guests on a hair-raising journey complete with laser lighting and sound effects, animatronics and a kaleidoscope of colour, depth, height and trickery of dimension.

Just when they think the journey is over, guests will find themselves pulled upwards into the castle ceiling and thrust on an adrenalin pumping journey downwards towards a not so friendly grotesque demon!

Warner Village Theme Park Chief Executive John Menzies explains that Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster is a world first and is a unique combination of two different types of entertainment experiences.

"Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster is completely innovative, no other ride in the world can be compared to this combination of experiences - the classic haunted house utilising the latest technological advances and lighting and sound effects and the adrenalin pumping thrills of an indoor rollercoaster," said Chief Executive John Menzies.

The multi-million dollar blockbuster, Scooby Doo was filmed at Warner Roadshow Movie World Studios on the Gold Coast in 2000/2001 and is the highest budget production ever filmed in Queensland to date.

Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster, and Scooby Doo the movie will open simultaneously throughout Australia in time for the June school holidays, with a Premiere launch event at Warner Bros. Movie World.

Join the Mystery Inc. super sleuths Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy and solve the mystery of Scooby Doo Spooky Castle at Warner Bros. Movie World!
