Talk:Warner Bros. Movie World/Archive 1

Keeping Australia on the map!
I encourage anyone who is interested in theme parks or Movie World to add information to the Movie World Wikipedia entry. Adame —Preceding undated comment added Aug 28, 2005 07:09:37.


 * There was actually quite a lot of information, but unfortunately the whole page was deleted for some reason (apparently a copyvio), by User:Petaholmes, who won't reply to me. secfan 10:41, August 28, 2005 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen the previous version but that sucks! I'll see if I can find it on archive.org. How was it a copyright violation? Where was the information taken from? User:adame 11:41, August 28, 2005 (UTC)


 * at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&offset=500&type=delete&user=Petaholmes&page=, it says: 08:56, July 29, 2005 Petaholmes deleted "Warner Bros. Movie World" (copyvio july 18). my response on his talk page was: Why was Warner Bros. Movie World deleted (on july 29)? It might have been a copyvio, but it is a well known and notable set of theme parks. And there are heaps of redirects to it which are now broken. At the very least the non-copyvio information could have been kept? secfan 03:34, August 7, 2005 (UTC). havent received any response yet. --secfan 14:37, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WBMWhollywood.JPG
Image:WBMWhollywood.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Unsourced material
The following is unsourced information:

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 08:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Some scenes from the Matrix series were filmed on the park's soundstages
 * The park is also a storehouse of movie memorabilia - some of which includes one of the BatBoats used in "Batman Forever", along with at least one of every Batmobile.
 * In January 2006 it was announced by Warner Roadshow studio owners Village Theme Park Management and Warner World Australia that they were suing special effects expert David Fletcher and Wax Productions because of a fire on the set during production which destroyed a whole studio.
 * Wild West Falls caught on fire in 2003 and destroyed the top of the artificial mountain.
 * WWE movie The Marine was filmed at Warner Bros. Movie World, yet the movie is set in South Carolina. WWE Films "The Condemned", which starred wrestling superstar "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, was also shot here.
 * When the park first opened the Australian staff were encouraged to speak with American accents to help sell the Hollywood theme. This was abandoned after a few weeks.

See Also - Warner Bros. in Theme Parks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Movie_World#See_also This section concerns the Warner Bros. Company and it's creations in theme parks. This section also is also about the Warner Bros./TimeWarner owning theme parks through the years. Warner Bros. Movie World and Six Flags were once owned by Warner. Six Flags was Warner's USA chain of theme parks in the 1990s. Six Flags does belong here.

 * But this article is about the Australian theme park called Warner Bros. Movie World. The other "see also" links are for other theme parks once named Warner Bros. Movie World. This theme park itself has never had any links with Six Flags, so therefore it shouldn't belong here. If you want to create an article (or section in another article) about Warner Bros. / Time Warner's theme park ventures, then go right ahead. I have removed the link.

Movie World & Big Brother
At this point this is only a media rumor and not yet fact this information has been removed. We are only concerned with FACTS here NOT opinion nor is this a page for "breaking news" or a gossip mill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.110.227.247 (talk) 23:34, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
