Located in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is the place to find the “world’s largest fill in the blank .” Anything that can be built will be built larger here. Next Wednesday, we can add “indoor theme park” to the list. IMG Worlds of Adventure theme park will open its doors and welcome guests to four different themed areas: Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure, Cartoon Network, Marvel, and IMG Boulevard. Spanning 1.5 million square feet, IMG Worlds of Adventure can hold up to 30,000 guests a day and developers are hoping to see 4.5 million visitors within the park’s first year.
The Haunted Hotel features a maze of hallways and numerous ghoulish ghost awaiting your arrival. It is said to be so scary, that only those who are age 15 or older are allowed in.
Perhaps the biggest buzz in Dubai right now is the excitement brewing for the new Marvel section featuring the Avengers Battle of Ultron ride where guests join Iron-Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, and the Hulk battle Ultron together. Then there’s the Spider-Man Doc Ock’s Revenge where fans will swing through the city with Spidy. The Hulk Epsilon Base 3D is a cinema dome 3D movie that will put guest next to the Hulk and battle foes in a 360-degree adventure. The Thor Thunder Spin will literally keep guests glued to their seats while battling not only the laws of gravity but also Thor’s evil brother, Loki. Finally, the Marvel-themed land features Avengers Flight of the Quinjets, where two guests ride at a time for a race of a lifetime.

In addition to all of the four themed areas, IMG Worlds of Adventure features a live LazyTown show based on the Nick Jr. TV series and a dozen new theaters will be built soon offering “Novo 7-star comfort” and 3D IMAX technology.
While IMG Worlds of Adventure basks in the limelight, it will not be the only theme park in town. Motiongate Dubai is set to open in October and will feature attractions and rides based on popular movie franchises including The Hunger Games, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, Shrek, and Ghostbusters. Bollywood Parks, a Six Flags park, is also set to open late in 2019 featuring 27 rides and attractions (six of them being roller coasters) and four aerial attractions. When these three parks are added to Legoland Dubai, the area will be known as the largest integrated theme park destination. Of course.
