For more than 30 years now, Bottrop-Kirchhellen has stood for Hollywood made in Germany. The first local studio was Bavaria Film, which wanted to offer a look behind the scenes with the Bavaria Filmpark. Only a few years later Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast in Australia.
In addition, several sound stages were built that visitors could visit during the Film Studio Tour. In the beginning, these were actually used for film and TV productions and today serve mainly as storage space for the park.
We are accompanied on our tour by assistant Andy and the animated clapperboard S. The story was created by IMAmotion, who have already created media content for the water ride Excalibur β Secrets of the Dark Forest and have been working with the park for a long time with their soundtracks. After a short drive through the archive, S. The quiet-looking living room immediately finds itself in the middle of a storm. As the roof is torn away, we are accelerated by friction wheels.
We then drive backwards along a short stretch of track before we find ourselves in the next scene. Steven Thrillberg has chosen us as extras on the set, and we now travel through the set of a large American city, where we have a race with a sports car. After a bend and a small climb, the track leads us out of the hall, where we then cross the forecourt of MPG Studios. A few swerves later we enter the studio again, where the most visually impressive set of the studio tour awaits us after a short while.
Passing King Kong, we unfortunately race right into the final brake accompanied by the local film orchestra. The Studio Tour is a really nice family coaster with a great attention to detail.
