In hindsight, this was not an ideal winter activity. Parts of the tour went into hangar style buildings, but a great deal of it involved being outside in the snow. Seen here are the Rockbiter and the Racing Snail:īefore much longer, it was time for the tour to begin. There was a large model of the submarine from Das Boot, as well as a section of the spacecraft from Enemy Mine.Īdditionally, there were some replicas of things used in The Neverending Story. We moved outside to be with that group, and to look around at some of the scenery in the waiting area. They were surprisingly high quality, and there’s something fun about a dayglow color like that.Īfter a few minutes wandering around the gift shop, the group started to gather for the tour. The third thing I nearly purchased in the gift shop was a uniform shirt from Traumschiff Surprise. After all the trouble they went to to find the Auryn in the movie, it turns out there’s an entire box of them for sale in Munich! The second thing I nearly purchased was an Auryn, also from The Neverending Story. The first was a plush Falkor from The Neverending Story. There were three things I nearly purchased. We also went into the studio’s gift shop, which was McDonald’s adjacent. This gave us a chance to pop into the studio’s McDonald’s for a quick beverage- tromping around in the snow is thirsty work. Once we paid our admission and tour fees, we had a short wait for the tour to begin. As it was, the tour and the 4d movie would take up about two hours of daylight, leaving us with little time to see anything else in Munich. We elected to do the tour and the 4d movie, but not Bullyversum, since a) the tour was in German and Lorrie speaks only English, b) she had never seen any Bully movies, and c) neither one of us was particularly interested in that part of the park. Here’s the trailer for that, just to give you a sense of what the movie is like: I actually have the sci-fi one, “Traumschiff Surprise: Periode 1” on DVD. The Bullyversum is a separate section related to the films of Michael “Bully” Herbig, a comedic actor from the region who has become famous for his parody movies. This first sign pointed us in the right direction, and a series of smaller signs told us when we got 400 meters away from the main gate, 300 meters away, and so forth.Īt the main gate, you have to select your experience- there’s a tour, a “4D adventure,” and the Bullyversum. The tram deposits you within walking distance (about half a kilometer) from the main gate. To get to the studio from the Hauptbahnhof, we first took a U-Bahn for part of the way, and a Tram for the last part of the trip. Several episodes of The Amazing Race (2001 onward). Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971).The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter (1990).This studio has been active for decades, and many well known titles were filmed here. I suspect most of you have seen stuff from Bavaria Filmstadt too. I had only just learned of the film studio’s existence, but I’ve seen a lot of their work. We’re both fans of movies and television, so we decided to visit Bavaria Filmstadt, a working film and television studio on the outskirts of Munich. Last weekend, while I was about 85% recovered from the touch of cold-flu-whatever, I had my first guest visit from the US, my friend Lorrie.
