Thanks @Aw hype cool info. If you know how to use Landgate aerial imagery (Launch map viewer plus> Zoom in> Top right corner/Camera icon (buy aerial imagery)> select year) you can view old aerial images.

You beauty! Don't want to share screenshots because i don't know how landgate are about copyright, but the roller coaster is removed in aerial imagery from 1989, and the Bumper boats are on the roller coaster site in imagery from 1985. There are no images between that time, so it only operated ≥1986 to ≤1989. Lines up with Metropolis at LPM opening in 1990.

I really miss the Dreamworld Captain Stuart river boat show. As a kid growing up I LOVED it, and it was a must do every time I went to DW. I still preferred Police Academy at MW but it was still great. (Sorry this footage I found is TERRIBLE)

here's a few things i found. in the picture it's hard to see but i'm pretty sure its AOL. they were probably a sponsor for the ride in its early years before aol went under because of google. videos self explanatory movie world in 2009

[Smol bean]

google became more popular causing aol to become useless probably should of worded it better.

The chap who played Austin Powers was always fantastic! I miss seeing him around the park.
