Have you ever wondered what would be like to soar to the skies like Superman or jump into the Batmobile and live the life of the Caped Crusader?
Well, superhero dreams are about to become a reality as Metropolis and Gotham City are brought to the capital as part of the eagerly-anticipated Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, which is set to swing open its doors to the public next year.
To whet our appetites for the thrilling fun to come, eye-catching images of what the ultra-immersive experience will be like have been released. And it’s been announced that the one-of-a-kind entertainment destination will feature six worlds, Metropolis and Gotham City, of course, plus Cartoon Junction, Bedrock and Dynamite Gulch, based on iconic brands such as Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera, plus Warner Bros. Plaza, which has been inspired by the nostalgic glories of Hollywood in years gone by.
We can’t wait until it opens. For the first time in the Middle East, avid super hero fans will be able to stroll the streets of Superman’s Metropolis, a modern-styled city of towering skyscrapers, and prowl the dark alleys of Batman’s Gotham City in this larger-than-life land where heroic exploits and action-packed family fun wait around every corner.
The jaw-dropping Yas Island attraction, which is being brought to Abu Dhabi thanks to a partnership between Warner Bros. and Abu Dhabi destination creators Miral, will span 1.65 million square feet and will boast 29 rides, shows and attractions in those six separate worlds.
“Miral is proud to confirm that one year after announcing its plans to bring Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi to Yas island, we’re making great progress with our partners where we’re 60 percent complete and on track to launch in 2018.” said Mohamed Abdullah Al Zaabi, CEO of Miral. “We’re excited to reveal new details about the six unique immersive worlds at Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi, which is a key part of our ambition to make Yas Island a top-ten global destination for family fun.”
“Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi will be a state-of-the-art themed experience that authentically brings some of the Studio’s most iconic characters and stories to life under one roof for the first time in the Middle East,” adds Pam Lifford, President, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “We have been closely collaborating with our partners at Miral to faithfully construct immersive worlds that resonate with precise details and are thrilled to share these unique experiences with fans next year.”
