In case you may have overdosed on the latest Disney World or Universal Studios attractions, Abu Dhabi is coming to the rescue with some theme park excitement of its own. Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, the world's largest Warner Bros.-branded indoor theme park, based on Yas Island, is putting the final touches on its attractions ahead of its scheduled July 25, 2018 grand opening. The park is currently undergoing operations training, ride safety checks, and quality assurance testing across all restaurants and shops to ensure a seamless experience for guests, so it can make itself into another reason to visit Abu Dhabi. When it opens on Yas Island on July 25, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi will be one of the world's largest indoor theme parks. Guests will be transported to six truly immersive lands, including DC's Metropolis and Gotham City, Cartoon Junction, Bedrock, Dynamite Gulch and Warner Bros. Plaza, and enjoy 29 state-of-the-art exhilarating rides, interactive family-friendly attractions and unique live entertainment. The park’s interactive new experience will bring together some of the world's most iconic characters and stories under one roof for the first time in the region including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman as well as Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry and The Flintstones, among others. "We are at a very proud milestone here on Yas Island,” said Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, CEO of Miral, the park’s developer. “The development of the iconic Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is at its last stages with final finishing touches being made. The whole team, along with our partners, is working tirelessly to make sure the park is at complete readiness when it opens its doors to the public on July 25.” "We are incredibly excited to see guests of all ages experience this one-of-a-kind park,” he added. “From the immersive lands and thrilling rides, to experiencing interactive attractions and meeting some of their favorite characters like Batman and Bugs Bunny, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi complements the wide range of award-winning leisure and entertainment attractions already on offer on Yas Island for visitors from all over the world.” The park’s dining options are working to complete training of staff and fine-tuning operations. Guests will be able to choose from a wide range of menus that are bespoke to the different lands, and feature a variety of cuisines, including Middle Eastern, Asian and Western. In addition to its many grab-and-go and sit-down options, the park is the first in the region to offer guests a chance to enjoy a personal visit to their table from some of their favorite characters. The 1.65 million-square-foot park promises to bring together some of the world's most iconic characters and stories under one roof for the first time in the region. The park will provide immersive environments, thrill rides and well-known comic book and cartoon characters. Warner Bros.
