The INSANE Universal Studios KNOCKOFF You NEVER Heard of – Movieland Studios
Universal Studios is well known as one of the most famous theme park resorts on Earth. But what if you could go back in time and visit it as it used to be? Now you can in Italy! Movieland Studios is perhaps the greatest, strangest theme park.

To the Amicabile family, a genuine thank you for creating such a unique, memorable theme park. Thank you for the constant effort and care you put into it. I look forward to one day visiting your park in Italy. โค
Have you ever heard of El Laberinto del Minotauro from Terra Mitica in Spain?
The Hollywood Terror ride is also called Free Fall and 6 Flags Great Adventure in Jackson NJ has one too.
This looks excellent. Great, well run and awesome!
This video goes to show that not all knockoffs look cheap. The owners of this park seem to really care about they want for the park and have gone to great lengths to theme their rides very well. I would love to go checkout this park for myself someday.
15:34 x to doubt. Now that his career is ending he will ask a lot for royalties.
Before 5 years demonize my previous channel for clips that had with all at the description or in watermark. His excuse then I ask him I am stealing his views I made 0 profit and still make 0 profit
Some of the name changes are kind of clever.
I need to go to Italy now.
Another great Family owned Park would be Europa Park in Rust, Germany. There even are some Thrill Seeker attractions like Silver Star or the recently added Voltron.
Those stunt boats are at Broadway at the Beach in South Carolina. Bad research on your part saying we don't have them in the US.
oooh I will definitely visit this amusement park in Italy one day. I am Dutch and can visit such parks more often than for example America, I am also going to Spain this year to visit park Fuerteventura and Ferrari Land.
I always thought knockoff = bad, now Iโm proven wrong
11:20 is that knock-off Italian Sonic and Amy?
I live in Italy and I been to that theme park! I appreciate that you talked about! Not every content creator like you talks about! And Trust me that is not a knock off of the universal ๐ ๐
Shark farts at Shark park ๐
Broadway at the beach in Myrtle Beach has the same boat ride….
Visited both Gardaland and Movieland in 2019. As much as I enjoyed Gardaland, Movieland took me by surprise and was incredibly fun, providing the most memorable parts of my trip. Magma, Tomb Raider Machine and U-571 were absolutely fantastic.
Genuinely the amount of times I said "ooh Awesome!" or "oh Cool" to the rides in this park I can't count
Fun fact: back then the park used to have a Schwarzkopf jumbo jet, this coaster opened in 2010 & closed in 2019 & also sat SBNO from 2020-2022, the coaster was called brontojet and was in absolute shambles and rust while SBNO, it could be seen from the monorail in the park and was most likely an eye sore, the ride has been scrapped most likely.
As cool as this place looks, I have a hard time being willing to trust myself to a ride in a country where people have been injured by a freaking escalator because people ignored the upkeep.
Stop calling it a knock-off, this is a TRIBUTE!
Yes, yes I do miss those rides. Never rode Kongfrontation, ET, or Back to the Future.
IRON LUNG MENTIONNNNN ๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ
I would go to this park
A ride where you're in the role of the nazis being attacked by the allies sure is a choice
I so wanna go here. I am so driving that Jurassic park Jeep. I love this,I go to Europe every fall and pick a new country,this might be on my list this year.super cool park๐๐
You gotta go there, it's crazy, I wonder how some rides are even opened since safety seems… Inexistant ahaha ! Gotta give it to the drivers and stuntmen though ! Anyway, it's a unique experience you can't find anywhere else !
I guess this guy never play the amazing back to the future the game that takes place after the third movie
I saw several PEMEX signs on the Magma 2.1 and The Disaster tour parts, PEMEX is the state-owned petroleum corporation from Mexico i guess they are paying that license as well
Some things , particularly Magma, are the kind of attractions I think the states still wish theme parks attempted. Practical and multi0le basically sets, gags and surprises. Like if Rhino Rally actually stayed and worked and if Jurassic Park actually had its original jeep ride.
21:50 they say its whisky because it really is whisky lol, another thing you probably wouldn't see in an american theme park (at least not on a family-friendly ride like this)
also 22:48 the screens don't actually form a tunnel around the bus like in universal, they are more of a very tall circular wall surrounding it
This looks amazing ๐ฎ
Love it ….. brings me back to my childhood ('85 baby here) when Universal Studios (& Disney with MGM Studios , which is now Hollywood Studios) was a more immersive experience bc they had more human actors involved with rides/shows. Now its more screens & animatronics.
Just wish it was mainly in English…. if it was then jd go in a heartbeat
Magma 2.1 is clearly based off the original poacher section of AKs Kilimanjaro Safaris. The cast-driven buses, abrupt shift in tone and the collapsing bridge drifting down the river.
The rides with actual vehicles look like lots of fun!
This park is actually really cool! Id definetly pay a visit if I was near it. That boat ride especially looks insanely fun.
10:35 Dude is that the dead triceratops from that one photograph of Spielberg? ๐
Waiting patiently for Markiplier to watch this video ^.^
They made those rides with the game engine Unreal Engine. Universal and Disney uses Unreal for a lot of things too. The minion blast ride is unreal, smugglers run is unreal, the Spiderman ride in California is unreal, the Mario kart ride is unreal.
Its used a lot for interactive rides but also just cinematic rides as it renders in real-time on a single machine and you can make changes quickly if needed since it renders all in real time.
The speedboat ride looks amazing. Agreed that no way that would work in the US with the insurance companies lol
The fact that they also use so many live actors, and on rides!, is awesome and would love to go some day.
