With
the sunny weather, many parks in Europe seem to have
a good attendance. Does Warner Bros. Movie World Germany
have more visitors than other years due to the sunny
weather and to special promotions?
We have a good season by now especially
because of the good weather and our promotions like
“kids for nix” and under considering of
the bad economical situation in Germany.
Don't you think that the park should be bigger
to have more places for the visitors when there are
a lot of people in the park? Do you have any idea to
solve this problem some people had on crowded days (to
increase the capacity, make the park bigger...)?
At the moment we have no plans to increase the area
of the park.
Is there still really place to expand, or is
it only possible on the parking lot near Eraser? Would
it be possible to expand on the location where there
are many trees on the back of the Real Hollywood Stunt
Show?
We think we have still enough
places to expand on the area we have now. The trees
behind the Stunt Show are absolutely no option.
Do you have any plan to implement some kind
of Fast Pass / Fast Lane or Q-bot system (so that the
visitors can avoid long lines)?
Not at the moment.
Could you tell us a few words about the competition
with the parks in Germany? Is there a lot of competition
(there are many parks in Germany)?
The density of population around
Warner Bros. Movie World is extremely high, but the
number of other leisure attractions is high too. The
important point is that Warner Bros. Movie World is
a unique theme park. |

As
it was said in a local newspaper, the park would like
to build an Air Diver attraction next year and have
family rides; furthermore there is a rumour on the internet
about a new interactive dark ride in the Gremlins Invasion
building for next year. Could you tell more about it?
The Air Diver will be build next
year, but at the moment we don't give any more concrete
information about the news for 2004.
How do you see the future of Warner Bros. Movie
World Germany? Will it be more focused on the family
rides and on the slogan "Hollywood in Germany"
(instead of focusing on thrill rides)?
We made a big survey last year
and the result was that our guests wish to have family
attractions and Hollywood. The Hollywood themeing is
the uniqueness of our park and therefore quite important.
Have you ever considered opening the park during
the winter in the future (because there are many indoor
rides and more and more European parks open in the winter)?
For the nearer future we have
no plans like this.
As I saw during my last visit in June, the Never
Ending Story ride had a few broken elements, is there
a renovation of this ride planned?
Yes.
A few years ago there was an attraction called Cartoon
Theatre in the building between the stunt show and Batman
Adventure, why is it now closed? Is this building still
used for something else and is there a possibility to
create a new ride or show in this building?
We did already create a new "ride"
in this building which opens only in October. The Cartoon
theatre than becomes the Castle of Horror, our Halloween
maze. |

I also
would like to know, what is the technical problem with
the Lethal Weapon Pursuit ride why it has been closed
nearly all the season? Is it an important problem? Will
it be solved soon?
Yes, it is an important problem;
otherwise we wouldn't have closed the ride for so long.
We are still working on it but during the last days
the ride was open at least for a few hours a day.
Could you tell me if the relations with the
theme park enthusiasts are something important for you?
Absolutely yes, for the park it
is important to have contact to those who are really
fascinated. As you probably know we invite every year
the German FKF together with other European fan clubs
to visit us for a European Fan Day. For me personally
it is important too, beginning my job at Warner Bros.
Movie World I've been completely new in this business
and the enthusiast helped me a lot to learn interesting
facts and figures. |
