The Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster is an indoor roller coaster located at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, in Australia.

Upon entering the ride building the guests are treated to the sight of a fountain where monsters spew forth the water. Once the ride begins, the first part is like a typical dark ride, embellished with effects including a swinging axe and various other spooky-themed audio-animatronics displays. Along the way, an animatronic Scooby Doo will tell the rider which way the carriage will go next until it reaches a platform, where you will hear a short audio conversation between Scooby and Daphne.

This platform ascends vertically for a few stories before entering the main part of the ride. This part is filled with music (more accurately, the Scooby Doo theme song from the movie soundtrack), smoke effects, and various lighting/laser effects. Once the carriage has reached the top of the elevator, it will drop backwards into the true roller coaster section. It continues backwards until reaching a turntable which spins the carriage around before continuing along the roller coaster track. There are various sharp turns and small drops until reaching a final animatronic Scooby (showing the way out), and then returning to the starting platform.

The main part of the ride is musically accompanied by U.S. punk band MXPX playing a cover of the Scooby Doo theme song.

Afterwards the riders can go into a gift shop and buy various articles of Scooby Doo merchandise, as well as a photo taken on the ride.
