On 6 December 2016, it was announced that Ice Age Adventure would not reopen in 2017, because Movie Park Germany's 10-year licensing of the ride had expired.

The ride's closure was also due to the cancellation of its refurbishment, and it resulted in the retirement of the Scrat, Sid, Diego and Scratte walk-around characters in the park.

[13][14] Five years after Ice Age Adventure's closure, Movie Park Studio Tour, an Intamin Multi Dimension Coaster, opened on 5 July 2021 in the same building as the former ride.

[15] The ride began with guests queuing outside a show building and entering a room with drawings of Scrat, Sid, Manny and Diego on its walls.

They would slowly be introduced to the ancient times, and find themselves in a cave with a campfire and two televisions displaying paintings that come to life and introduce the characters on their screens; sometimes there would be a cast member who would tell the ride's story to the guests (when the ride first opened, there was a video projection screen displaying the cave paintings coming to life and telling the characters' backstories; this was later replaced with the campfire and televisions[16][17][18][19]).

After the guests left the cave, the path would lead into the freezing cold, directly into a huge iceberg, which led to the loading station.

[20] Guests would get on 4 boats, each with 4 rows of 4 seats each, and they would see the Human Tribe's village (complete with saber-toothed tiger pelts) on their left before being taken through the ride.

[21] After that, Sid, Manny and Diego run up three hills, and the guests' boats are then lifted up a bridge leading to an ice palace (actually the castle from Looney Tunes Adventure, albeit remodelled) with the trio atop it.

After the drop, the guests go past a scene where Sid, Manny and Diego have safely arrived at a tropical island on the Southern Ocean.

The company brokered the relationship between 20th Century Fox and StarParks to bring Ice Age to Movie Park Germany.

They quickly developed the initial concept and full presentation to executive management, complete with layout, storyboards, scene descriptions and script in one week.

[26][27] The cost to license the soundtrack from Ice Age was prohibitive, so Thinkwell hired Jean-Francois Cote, a composer from Cirque du Soleil, and created their own that was reminiscent of the film's theme song, but was actually a whole new piece.

[19] The ride had a multitude of immersive special effects, including a real snow flurry, explosive steam geysers, smoldering fissure eruptions, and intense blasts of heat and cold.
