This and Flying Ace's are actually bringing the HYPE to to UAE!

[Gutterflower]

A few stills from the video.

 

 

The Bobsled or spinner looks good. love these rides

 

 

The Mack hanging spinner like Arthur at Europa Park.

 

 

But what is this? the fastest coaster in the park. I guess it means it launched.

[Nrthwnd]

^ And indoors!

[DoinItForTheFame]

. . . HOLY CRAP!. . .

 

This is seriously all I kept saying through out the entire video. This is an amazing project, and I can't wait to see it progress!!

The indoors launcher has Gerstlauer support connectors.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Intamin with Taron style track! Yes please!

 

 

Or could be an Infinity Coaster.

[RyanTPM]

^^Yeah, it looks like it's a Gerstlauer for certain. Can tell from the track connectors and also with the support going directly into the footer and not secured with bolts. A screenshot posted on No Limits Exchange shows the footer which is not shown in those photos above.

I don't how they got Dreamworks, Loinsgate, and Sony Pictures Studios to come together all in one place, but it looks awesome - three studios parks for the price of one. Hunger Games, Zombieland, and Ghostbusters attractions sound awesome, and I'm curious to see how a How To Train Your Dragon area turns out. Motiongate looks like it will give Universal a run for the money for the studio park concept when this opens, and will put Dubai firmly on the theme park map if it wasn't already.

^I would imagine it is because they all want a piece of the action in a potentially lucrative market without the risk of their own investment. Kudos to their team for bringing all them together---looks like it is going to be incredible.

And all of this is less than an hour drive away from Ferrari World, which is expanding like crazy right now. I think I know where I'm going in 2017. Now to start training for that 16 hour flight. Oof

[Nrthwnd]

The entertainment and street performances in the Bollywood section should be amazing,

and totally exhausting, just to watch them, if they go as fast as their on-film counterparts.

 

 

(P.S. I finally figured out how to get the sound working in the video. WOW and more!)

Not like "The Neighbours" Bollywood, but fun enough.

[I305forever]

Holy shit this looks amazing

[MagicAngel94]

In a recent german documentary about Mack the train for Dragon Gliders was revealed. Because I'm too lazy to take more than one screen you have to suffer through some German if you wanna see more (there is more)

The whole documentary was really good, though I think most non-german speakers won't get much out of if it, so here are the interesting scenes, where you can look at the coaster:

- The scene mentioned above @14:21

- Nerdy, naked coaster shots on rail without chassis @17:39

- Container loading @28:33

^I love watching little documents like that even if it is in German, thanks for posting. That train looks pretty nice too.

Not at all surprised the opening dates have been pushed back. This is common practice in the Gulf to over-promise on opening dates (and number projections).

 

Eventually DPR will get everything open, but I would encourage everyone to hold off buying tickets to visit until all parks and rides are open. I feel bad for the people who already bought airline tickets thinking the opening dates were set realistically by the management.

Motiongate Dubai has sent us a press release and photos showing a sneak peek at the construction of this exciting new park!

^Thanks for posting the pictures, they've done a very good job with this park, the theming looks wonderful! Looking forward to seeing more when it opens.

[A.J.]

Some of the building exteriors look very plain. I want to say that they're not done yet...
