Or are you more in the mood for a thrill and to scream at the top of your lungs? Then try out the Atlantean Flyers ride or the Surf’s Up Wave Rider for an adrenaline-boosting thrill. Also, you don’t want to miss out on the longest zip line circuit in the Middle East.
Bollywood Parks
When you think Bollywood you think about colors, dancing, singing, adventure and an exceptionally fun time. That is exactly what you’ll get at the Bollywood Parks in Dubai.
For the first time, Dubai theme parks have created a park that centers on Bollywood movies. The zones inside the park are inspired by these films and include rides and attractions that reflect the scenes and performances within Bollywood productions. A favorite attraction is the Mumbai Express stage where you and your family can dance on a train and sing along to some Bollywood classics. Another super interesting ride inside Bollywood Park is Krrish: Hero’s Flight which involves getting into a 4D flying theater ride that allows you to feel like you’re actually flying through the sky as you look down and gaze upon the scenery of India’s most beautiful landmarks. It’s not all fun and games though because aliens are invading and it’s your mission to save the Earth!.
