Movie Park expands its film park identity this new year with a new stunt show, magic show, walking characters and a 25th-anniversary Halloween festival! Here’s what’s coming to Movie Park Germany in 2023.
There is no business like show business! This is why the Movie Park Studios are rolling out the red carpet for even more entertainment and a blockbuster atmosphere in the 2023 season!
With the new stunt show Operation Red Carpet Germany’s largest movie and theme park will bring Hollywood action even closer and transport visitors at studio 6 directly to Los Angeles.
Renowned illusionist Christian Farla returns for another big magic show. A particularly scary birthday party is also on the production schedule in the fall: Movie Park Germany celebrates an important milestone with the 25th anniversary of the Halloween Horror Festival and brings the Horrorwood Studios back to life with new surprises.
“And action!” is not only the motto in the attractions and shows, but also on the streets of the park: with clapperboard “S.A.M.” Movie Park presents a new walking character, which will be further established as a figure of the Movie Park Studios. Movie Park Germany opens its gates again on March 24, 2023.
Movie Park Germany – Operation Red Carpet
With the new stunt show “Operation Red Carpet” Movie Park lays another foundation stone for the Hollywood and movie theme.
Guests will experience new sets and a new storyline set in Los Angeles. With fast-paced action packed scenes themed around authentic American backdrops along with Germany’s largest quarter pipe there’s something for everyone to see at this new show.
With spectacular car and biker stunts, around 25 large and small special effects, a large LED wall and matching media content, as well as a new soundtrack, an action experience for the whole family is created.
Meet S.A.M at Movie Park Germany
The Movie Park Studios are welcoming a new member on set! Starting this season, parents, kids and theme park fans can meet S.A.M. as a walking character in the park, who will be available for meet & greets.
Several times throughout the day, S.A.M. will be waiting near the “Movie Park Studio Tour”, the new “Operation Red Carpet” stunt show and on Hollywood Boulevard for visitors to snap a photo with him. S.A.M.
Movie Park Germany Illusionist Returns!
Last season, Movie Park brought magic back to studio 7 with the big magic show “Sherlock Holmes – A Game of Mystery”. In the 2023 season, the award-winning illusionist Christian Farla will return for eight weeks and, starting on June 22, once again slip into the role of the world’s most famous detective, whom guests know from TV and literature.
With a revised storyline and some new illusions, he will once again captivate visitors with his team and the Show Girls of Magic.
Movie Park Germany Iron Claw Ride
The “Old West” themed area of Movie Park will also receive a small thematic update in 2023: The “MP Xpress” suspended looping coaster will be transformed into “Iron Claw”.
With the redesign, Movie Park Germany wants to further unite the Western area and once again the Movie Park Studios as the park’s headliner, both thematically and visually. For example, there will be new Italo-Western music composed by IMAscore.
Work is expected to be completed later this spring.
Movie Park Germany 2023 Changes
During the winter break, two sanitary facilities were renovated and redesigned and new lighting technology has been installed at various locations including Van Helsing’s Club and in the Warsteiner Saloon.
These new lights save Movie Park over 94% energy compared to the previous infrastructure. Single-use cups are also being scrapped in favour of reusable deposit cups.
Shopping for all VIPs and guests is also playing a leading role: The former “Red Carpet Store” will be transformed into an original American Toy Store and renamed “The Toymaker”. The interior, which is based on an old fairground carousel, and oversized toy figures will await visitors.
This new store is aimed specifically at Movie Park’s younger guests. For all big and small movie fans, the former “Camelot Store” is also transformed into a magical place for sorcerer’s apprentices and from now on bears the name “Witches and Wizards”.
Digital signage is being implemented around the park with current waiting times set to be displayed at twelve selected rides. In addition, a total of seven 55″ LCD displays will be positioned in the park to provide guests with helpful information during their visit to the park.
April 1st kicks off a signing session with the voice actors of SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star and Mr. Krabs in the Nick Shop, where fans of the Nickelodeon series can meet the popular voices live. Completely new this year is the Camera Day, for which all movie and theme park fans can apply in advance and exclusively take full advantage of Movie Park’s backdrops on a closing day for photo and video shoots.
A brand new large Halloween maze is set to arrive to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Halloween Horror Festival. A total of 25 event days are planned between September 30 and November 12, 2023 but further details have not yet been revealed.

Dogs will soon be able to scent Hollywood air again: The Doghouse at Movie Park is celebrating its comeback! In the 2023 season, the park will once again offer a service for all guests who want to accommodate their dog directly on-site during their stay at the park.
For this purpose, Movie Park Germany has teamed up with the renowned brand “DOGSTYLER®”.
The newly designed Doghouse will be equipped with 20 DOGSTYLER® dog beds in the series “Series 55” and “Luxury Cappuccino”. The first 100 guests will receive a welcome gift in the form of DOGSTYLER© goodie bags.
