Take an adventure to the next dimension in the new DreamWorks® Shrek 4D Adventure, the attraction that puts you in the action with hair-raising, eye-popping, and butt-busting effects so real all your senses will be on ogre-time.

Check out the new Batmobile from the hit film Batman Begins which has now hit the streets of Warner Bros. Movie World!

Experience the other heart thumping thrill rides like Lethal Weapon and Wild West Falls, the spine-tingling Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, all the fun of Looney Tunes Village, and the spectacular Main Street Star Parade – and star in and buy your own Hi-5 music DVD at the new ‘BE A Hi-5 STAR’ Studio!
