History
The area currently known as Kids' WB Fun Zone opened with Warner Bros. Movie World as Looney Tunes Land. At the time, the only attractions were the Looney Tunes Studio Tour (later Looney Tunes River Ride), Speedy Gonzalez Tijuana Taxis, Looney Tunes Musical Revue and a playground. In December 1997, Warner Bros. Movie World renamed the area Looney Tunes Village and added several new rides including Marvin the Martian's Rocket Ride, Taz Hollywood Cars, Tweety and Sylvester Carousel (later Tweety and Sylvester Cages) and Yosemite Sam's Railroad. The addition of these rides, forced the removal of the playground. On 26 December 2000, the Road Runner Rollercoaster opened on the former site of the Looney Tunes Musical Revue. The Looney Tunes Musical Revue was relocated to a portion of land near the adjacent Village Roadshow studio complex where part of Superman Escape now stands. In December 2001, Warner Bros. Movie World added the Looney Tunes Splash Zone. In late 2007, the area was renamed Kids' WB Fun Zone to tie in with the filming of the Australian Kids' WB TV show at the park. At the same time, the Looney Tunes Carousel and Sylvester's Pounce 'n' Bounce opened. Also, Tweety and Sylvester Carousel was renamed Tweety and Sylvester Cages to avoid confusion between it and the newly added Looney Tunes Carousel. The removal of Marvin the Martian's Rocket Ride in 2010 was followed by the Looney Tunes River Ride the following year.
