It might sound strange, but Dubai has just opened the doors for the world’s first Bollywood theme park. Featuring movie themed rides, attractions and games, the theme park promises to impress both the B-town obsessed and otherwise.
The park spans a vast 25 million square feet and features rides, theme parks and water parks. Some of the highlights of the park include its theatre, cinema and 3D and 4D movie experiences. There are 16 themed cinematic rides and six themed restaurants. Some of the film attractions include Sholay, Dabangg, Don, Rock On, Lagaan and Krrish.
There are five zones in total; Bollywood Boulevard, Bollywood Film Studio featuring Hall of Heroes (perhaps 75% Shah Rukh Khan?), Royal Plaza, Rustic Ravine and the Mumbai Chowk.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted with Bollywood music and dancing. There are also live performances and musicals held at the Rajmahal Theatre, a venue with a capacity of 856 people. The theatre merges ancient Indian cinema with new-age technology for a spell-binding experience.
The owner of Dubai Parks and Resorts Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, said:
“We’re extremely proud to see this magnificent entertainment destination revealed to the world after three years of hard work and perseverance. Dubai Parks and Resorts is paving the way for future entertainment destinations, and shall forever change the face of family tourism and entertainment in the region.”
