History
The Looney Tunes River Ride opened with the Warner Bros. Movie World on 3 June 1991 as the Looney Tunes Studio Tour. It was one of four attractions in the Looney Tunes Land section of the park. In December 1997, the ride's name was changed to Looney Tunes River Ride alongside the launch of Looney Tunes Village.
In 1996, Looney Tunes Adventure opened with Warner Bros. Movie World in Germany. The ride was very similar to the version that opened in Australia with the primary difference being references to Australia were changed to Germany. In 2004, Warner Bros. Movie World in Germany was acquired by StarParks. This acquisition resulted in various Warner Bros.-licensed properties being removed from the park including DC Comics and Looney Tunes. The following year, Movie Park Germany opened with Looney Tunes Adventure being rethemed to Ice Age Adventure.
In early January 2011, Warner Bros. Movie World announced that the ride would close on 14 February 2011 until further notice. Towards the end of the month, the closing date was re-announced to be 1 February 2011. On 1 February 2011, the ride was permanently closed. It was later confirmed that the Looney Tunes River Ride would be replaced with a new attraction.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
