Source? As far as I know from the main contractor the civil work on Legoland is on schedule and ready to finish before soft opening date.

The Hunger Games attractions won't be ready until few months after the opening of Motiongate park. The Lego Waterpark probably opens later also.

Looks like October 31st is the confirmed opening date but some work may be "ongoing"

“We currently have close to 16,500 workers on site putting the final touches to the project,” said CEO Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi.
“As at the end of June, 93 per cent overall infrastructure construction was completed, with 84 per cent overall ride system and 80 per cent overall facilities construction complete. Show systems were 60 per cent completed, and we are within our targets for our opening in October this year.”

New video from Dubai Parks and Resorts. This is the full version of the shorter video which I was unable to embed last time. Has a lot of computer generated views over the park.

Some images from the new video released today with the Alan Menkin soundtrack. It is very "Disney" as you would expect.
You can hear the new song and see the video on the link below.

Motiongate released images of it's Ghostbuster's construction.

As a tribute to the original classic, Ghostbusters: Battle for New York is an interactive, trackless dark ride that transports guests to the rooftops of New York City, where the paranormal activity begins aboard your very own Ecto-Pod vehicle. Armed with a ghost-blasting proton pack, guests are inducted as honorary Ghostbuster with one goal – to exterminate Slimer, Gozer the Destructor, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and other sinister beings.

Dubai Parks & Resorts (the company) is looking to trade under a new name pending a decision by shareholders.

The only reason I can see for doing this is to enable the company to dissociate itself with this specific project and seek building new parks outside of it. The loss of Dubai in the name also makes me think that they will be looking to expand into other territories.

The proposed change will be put up before the company’s general assembly, following approval from the board of directors’ meeting on June 15. Shareholders have been invited to attend the general assembly meeting on June 23 (at 2pm) at the Taj Hotel, Business Bay, Dubai.

If it meets with shareholder approval, dXb Entertainments PJSC will be the name for the corporate entity, while Dubai Parks and Resorts will continue to be the name of the region’s largest integrated theme park destination, featuring motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai, Legoland Dubai, and Legoland Water Park, opening in October this year.
