Movie Park Germany has opened a new Paramount Pictures-themed attraction as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations, using immersive storytelling and adaptive reuse to reinforce the park’s longstanding “Hollywood in Germany” positioning.
Journey to the Forbidden Chamber is located in the park’s Hollywood Street, replacing The Lost Temple attraction. Developed in partnership with Paramount Pictures, the experience combines walkthrough environments, multimedia storytelling and simulation to immerse visitors in a fictional film production taking place at the Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.
The attraction forms the centrepiece of Movie Park Germany’s anniversary season, reconnecting the park with its original studio-tour concept from 1996.
According to the operator, the project creates a high-impact new experience without the capital outlay associated with a major new coaster or themed land.
“In addition to our existing licensed attractions based on well-known movies and series, we're now very proud to integrate one of the world’s most famous studios into the park,” says MD, Thorsten Backhaus.
“Paramount Pictures Studios is not only synonymous with spectacular cinematography and numerous event film productions – it's also a flagship of Hollywood, which ties in perfectly with Movie Park’s identity.”
Planning and construction took more than 18 months, with the film shot at the Paramount studio lot in Los Angeles in November 2025. The project involved collaboration between Paramount’s US creative team and Movie Park’s local development team.
A number of specialist suppliers contributed to the development – P&P Projects delivered theming and props, while Simworx provided immersive tunnel technology. IMAmotion created projection and video-mapping elements, with additional special effects and systems integration supplied by Bentin Projects.
The attraction also reflects a growing industry focus on accessibility and guest comfort. Creative director Manuel Prossotowicz said the experience was converted from 3D to 2D following guest feedback, to create a more comfortable and accessible experience for a broader audience.
Movie Park Germany attracts around 1.4 million visitors each year.
