A young Australian woman is suing Movie World for $500,000 after allegedly tumbling from a flowerbed while trying to watch the theme park's New Year's Day parade.

Helena Geragotelis, 26, claims she was not warned of the danger she would face by climbing the raised flowerbed in 2014 for a better view of costumed Warner Bros characters, according to Brisbane court documents.

Ms Geragotelis says Movie World employees watched on as she and other park visitors stood on the flowerbed, before she fell backwards and hit the ground.

She claims she was concussed and was left with painful injuries to her neck and spine, the Gold Coast Bulletin reports.

There were no signs advising the public not to climb on the flowerbeds, Ms Geragotelis claims.

Ms Geragotelis is suing Village Roadshow Theme Parks, who run Movie World, for $514,174 to cover past and future lost earnings and medical bills.
