Dubai Parks and Resorts remains on track for October 2016 launch with $1.03bn (AED3.8bn) cumulative project expenditure recorded at the end of June 2015.

Raed Al Nuami, CEO, Dubai Parks and Resorts, said, “In a little over 12 months, we will deliver a world-class attraction for residents and tourists in the United Arab Emirates. We continue to track well against our plans and it is pleasing to see the project coming to life a little more each day as we come closer to realising our vision."

He added, “Our project infrastructure is 57% complete as at the end of second quarter, up from 43% in the first quarter, ride engineering and manufacturing is progressing as planned with 52% complete and 80% of our procurement has been completed.”

I have seen a video yesterday regarding the construction progress of Motiongate. However, it had been deleted and nowhere to be found. It showed that nearly most of Motiongate infrastructure were nearly completed. The DreamWorks building looks done and also the main plaza.

This interview by City7 TV gives you a clear insight in what to expect :
