Based on the comments section of the post on socials, they don’t actually reveal anything new and the article is purely clickbait.

It's a sponsored series of Gold Coast promotions (future gold coast) 

On the radio today, they were talking about Scooby having a new massive surprise within the ride, that nobody will expect.

Theme park giant Village Roadshow is eyeing off a new Gold Coast attraction as it prepares to unveil new rides and the return of old favourites.

The company, which owns Sea World, Wet’n’Wild and Warner Bros Movie World, is investing heavily ahead of the summer holidays season when it hopes to have at least two big new drawcards for visitors.

The first will be the Zoom Zone, a 17.6m, tall four-slide aquatic attraction at Wet’n’Wild while Movie World’s Scooby Doo Spooky Castle roller coaster will reopen after a long-running revamp.

Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby said work was ramping up to make sure both attractions would be ready for the summer.

“Construction is well underway for the Zoom Zone slide precinct which will open this summer at Wet’n’Wild,” he said.

“The new Zoom Zone tower will bring four new body slides to Australia’s premier water park just in time for the peak summer period and we are incredibly excited to bring these new slides to the park, with each having differing thrill levels to provide an experience for all our guests.

“We are incredibly excited to share Movie World’s fan-favourite Scooby Doo: Spooky Coaster ride will be returning towards the end of the year after a multimillion-dollar refurbishment.

“It is incredible to see the love our theme park visitors around Australia have for this iconic attraction and we can’t wait to reintroduce it to a new generation of visitors upon its reopening later this year.”

Mr Kirby said attention was also turning to the future, including new attractions and construction of an already approved high-rise hotel at Movie World.

The $300m, 22-storey, 600-room accommodation complex is earmarked for a 5.1ha site on the northern side of Warner Bros Movie World on Entertainment Drive and was first proposed a decade ago.

Village Roadshow’s proposed hotel.

The new tower will feature a “panoramic sky deck”, infinity pool, bar and restaurants on its 21st level, along with a three-hall function centre.

Village Roadshow spruiked the project as creating 799 new construction jobs during its two-year construction, with a further 400 full-time jobs during its first five years of opening.

Mr Kirby said the final design was still being developed, while the company was preparing to announce another attraction for the park.

“We are continuing our planning processes for a hotel at Movie World, with the focus currently on right-sizing the project to get a better understanding of budgets with current construction costs,” he said.

“We are constantly looking towards future projects which will complement our existing line-up of rides, attractions and experiences, and we look forward to sharing some details around a new entertainment offering coming to Warner Bros. Movie World in the coming months.

“We are also looking at a number of nature-based tourism opportunities such as additional Eco Tents at Paradise Country Farmstay, along with a number of other initiatives in this space.”   

Editor’s note: The Bulletin acknowledges the Future Gold Coast sponsors for supporting this important series and notes sponsors have no control over the content or views expressed.

So the 'new attraction' being teased by the headline is the 'zoom zone' replacement slides for Aqualoop. I will admit i'd forgotten about the hotel (and honestly thought they had too). they've hinted at a 'new entertainment offering' at MW, but let's be honest that could just be the next themed parade, or the upcoming fright nights offerings.
