When completed the theme park will be the world’s largest

A US$1 billion theme park being constructed in Dubai is set to become the world’s largest when it is completed.

The World Legends Theme Park will be comprised of nine zones with various rides. It will be complemented by 9,700 m² of food and beverage options and 9,500 m² of retail space, all set within a temperature-controlled environment. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

“The World Legends by IMG Group isn’t the only theme park currently under development in the United Arab Emirates,” says Josine Heijmans, portfolio event director of the Urban Design & Landscaping Expo.

Abu Dhabi is expected to inaugurate the new US$1 billion worth Warner Brothers World on Yas Island in 2021.

With 29 themed rides, interactive attractions, shows, dining and shopping outlets, the project will also feature six immersive lands, including Metropolis and Gotham City, Cartoon Junction, Bedrock, Dynamite Gulch and Warner Bros Plaza, a Warner Bros-themed hotel and a car park.
