It’s the World's Largest Indoor Theme Park

The park measures 1.5 million square feet in size, i.e., 28 football fields roughly. It took three years and $1 billion worth of construction for the IMG Worlds of Adventure to open the park. The CEO of IMG Worlds of Adventure, Lennard Otto, told CNN that the world’s largest indoor theme park fits the market.  

The Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari (IMG) Group built the group, and it was a part of the City of Arabia development project - a part of Dubailand. It was opened on 16 August 2016. It welcomes 10,000 visitors daily and is believed to have a capacity of nearly 20,000.

The Multifarious Attractions at the Park

This theme park caters to people of any age and all kinds of interests and has something for everyone, from thrill-seekers & foodies to cinephiles & shopaholics. The different types of entertainment options available make it ideal for family outings. 

If you are thinking of planning a trip to this park, then be ready to shell out money since the attractions are exorbitantly priced and include 22 adrenaline-pumping rides & roller coasters, 25 retail stores, and 28 dining options. These include The Haunted Hotel, 3D media-based attraction "Avengers: Battle of Ultron,” world's first 5D Ben 10 cinema & the world’s largest Ben 10 store, CN Live Stage Show, and much more. 

The park is divided into five zones: Marvel, Cartoon Network, Novo Cinema (became a part in 2015), and the Lost Valley and IMG Boulevard (Dinosaur Adventure Zones). These offer thrill rides, roller coasters, and other attractions based on beloved Cartoon Network characters, iconic Marvel Super Heroes, and animatronic dinosaurs.
