Dubai is preparing for the 15 August opening one of its biggest attractions to date, IMG Worlds of Adventure.
The opening team is now on-site putting the final touches to the world’s biggest indoor theme park ahead of its debut.
Performers from France and Ukraine, robotics experts from Tokyo, engineers from the UAE and Germany, and construction staff from Asia are currently on site at IMG Worlds of Adventure.
They have been involved in shipping life-size dinosaurs by sea from Japan, lifting a 12-tonne gondola by crane through the roof of the park, and directing dancers in six-month-long rehearsals.
The park team is now working around the clock to test rides, clean the park and get prepared for the first onslaught of visitors, Lennard Otto, chief executive of IMG Worlds of Adventure, told The National.
“One of the main challenges has been the size and scale of the project,” said Otto.
“This is the largest indoor theme park in the world. We are venturing into unchartered territory as a world’s first.”
While obtaining permissions from Dubai Municipality, the IMG team took UAE officials to China to view examples of frame and infrastructure, as the type of structure has never been created in this region, Otto said.
“Ultimately we wanted to give our guests the impression of being outside within an open space,” he explained. “Therefore, we have created a mostly column-free park.”
