That's why most rides have dutch and english translations, mostly subtitles, but sometimes also audio. e.g they used to show their 4D-films in english, dutch and german. not anymore tho since the current Looney Tunes 4D film doesnt have any dialogue.

there is a VR headset that is made for under water that would go great with a ride like this, you could change the water to slime or guts or something and make the whole thing look like you crawled up into something.

dude do you seriously compare a german park to fucking Disney? Disney is literally the biggest theme park company on the planet with by far the highest budgets, even higher than universal. Movie Park Germany is a one-day park in the middle of a metropole with mostly less wealthy people and costs 40-50 euros and sells cheap food. Disney costs at least 200 per day and offers high class gourmet experiences. but yeah, they "didnt put in the effort"... Also look at Disney Paris. THIS is what i call "not putting in effort". Literally the worst Disney Park in the world. for comparisonn: most rides at Movie Park cost around 10-15 million dollars to build. Given the small budget, they put in WAY MORE effort than disney, because they use every euro very wisely. especially if you look at the newer stuff at Disney, wich fucking sucks. Disneys budgets are usually 50-200 Million dollars. Also its a ride from 1996 and its still one of the Top 3 dark rides in all of germany, and probably in the european Top 10.

Hey. Movie Park used to be called Warner Brothers Movie World Germany, and was a sister park to the one still existing in Australia. Lots of stuff is very similar, including the layout of the park and the main street. However, Warner Brothers sold the German park in the early 2000s, so they rebranded to Movie Park and re-named/re-themed a lot of the rides. So it's no longer associated with Warner brothers, but a lot of the older rides were built by them, so they may seem similar to Warner brothers movies and IPs.
