Construction has also started on a new themed area at Lionsgate (Motiongate Dubai).

We went last year and the How to Train Your Dragon coaster has to be the best indoor ride and we have been to a lot of parks. Looking to go early next year so hopefully the rollercoaster will be up and running. I know they seem to build things very quickly in Dubai but surely a big ask to get this completed this year as they state. Thanks for all the photos and info all very interesting.

What about the Bollywood park?

Also, for the Now You See Me ride I have been told that they're going to build a fake theatre that leads into the shows of the magicians. Pretty cool!

Can't wait to see these completed.

Can you confirm what type of attraction it is?

Yes it has - in a way. See post #501

Unfortunately no official announcements have been made yet regarding the specifics of the new rides they are building. However, we do know that many of these rides will be coming from the scrapped Six Flags Dubai project. They will be reusing the ride designs, and some of which we have been told are record breaking attractions.

Update on park reopening

They've just announced that Dubai Parks and Resorts will reopen on September 23rd, 2020. Aside from COVID-19, they're decided to delay the opening as summer is typically a slow season. 12 new rides are currently being built within Motiongate Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai, 8 of which are expected to be complete by the third quarter of the year.

Do you know what the new rides are?
