Movie Park Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Movie Park Germany is a theme park with real movie studios in Bottrop-Kirchhellen. It consists of 6 areas based on the topic "fascination film".
The park was opened in June 1996 as "Warner Bros. Movie World" on the former territory of the amusement park "Traumlandpark", which had already replaced an earlier attraction called "Märchenwald". During the time from 1992 to 1993, a short lived theme park called "Bavaria Filmpark" existed in this location as well. The laying of the cornerstone was in May 1994.
At the end of 1999, Warner Bros. Movie World started a cooperation with Six Flags Inc. As part of this cooperation, Warner Bros. gave the license rights to Six Flags, who in turn managed the park under the name Warner Bros. Movie World as a licencee.
Since 2004, the park is under the leadership of StarParks, a sub-group of Palamon Capital, leading to the name being changed into "Movie Park Germany" in 2005. The old Warner Bros. licences are now replaced by new ones from various studios like MGM, 20th Century Fox and Dreamworks.
