The park featured attractions consisting of huts in the woods where guests could press buttons to listen to different fairy tales.

[1] Wolf-Dieter Jahn from Essen, West Germany and Alexandre Berthé from France, who had previously worked at the park, bought it in 1986 and reopened it in 1987 under the name "Neue Traumland".

The park had a grand opening on 29 June 1996 with 20,000 invited guests including Johannes Rau, Ernst Löchelt, August Everding, Gustava Everding, Michael Douglas, Sophia Loren, Ron Williams, Amanda Lear, David Copperfield, Claudia Schiffer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, Chris O’Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, Joel Schumacher, Hans Meiser and Heinz Hoenig as special guests.

[1][7] Zeitgeist Design and Production's Ryan Harmon served as the Director of Show Development for Warner Bros. International Recreation Enterprises, where he conceived, wrote and managed the design team for Warner Bros. Movie World Germany's worth of rides, shows and attractions.

[8][9] Botticelli's - Atelier der angewandten Malerei, Sanderson Group and Kevin Cardani were responsible for designing and painting the theming for the park.

[15] In later years, large investments in bigger, faster, more action-packed attractions made Warner Bros. Movie World Germany no longer a crowd puller for families, but rather in the direction of teenagers and the young at heart.

This, along with a decline in visitor numbers and Six Flags' financial issues, led to the company selling the European Parks division to Palamon Capital Partners in April 2004, becoming StarParks.

[16][17][18][19] In August 2006, the two-lane roller coaster Cop Car Chase (previously Lethal Weapon Pursuit) was shut down and dismantled as a repair would have been too expensive from an economic point of view.

[citation needed] In addition, the kids' area Wonderland Studios was expanded with Nickland by 15,000 m² for the 2007 season.

[25] For the park's 15th birthday on June 18, 2011, the combination of roller coaster and dark ride Van Helsing’s Factory was opened in the hall that formerly housed the Gremlins Invasion and had only been used for Halloween since 2005.

The roller coaster was built by the Gerstlauer company, the theme is based freely on the character of the vampire hunter Van Helsing from the 2004 film of the same name.

According to the park, the roller coaster and the show Shadows of Darkness, which uses the character of Van Helsing, are attractions that do not require a license.

The themed area takes up the last parts of the former Marienhof, the former film museum and the unused space between Bermuda Triangle - Alien Encounter and The Lost Temple.

The following year it was announced that the Mystery River, one of the most popular and oldest attractions in the park, would be subject to a complete thematic redesign.

[27] In the building of the former dark ride Ice Age Adventure, a new roller coaster with the name Movie Park Studio Tour was built.
