IMG Worlds of Adventure

IMG Worlds of Adventure is an indoor amusement park in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. It is Dubai’s first mega themed entertainment destination. The park is divided into six "epic zones". Three of the six zones represent global brands Cartoon Network, Marvel, and Gingo Animation, while IMG Boulevard and the Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure zones are original concepts created by the IMG Group. Novo Cinema is the sixth section of IMG Worlds of Adventure and agreement was signed between Novo Cinema and IMG World of Adventure in May 2015.

IMG Worlds of Adventure is the largest temperature controlled indoor themed entertainment destination in the world, covering an area in excess of 1.5 million square feet. With the capacity to welcome more than 20,000 guests a day, the destination features roller coasters, thrill rides, and other attractions based on popular Cartoon Network characters, iconic Marvel Super Heroes, popular Gingo Animation characters and animatronic dinosaurs. Other facilities include a variety of themed retail stores and dining venues, and a 12-screen Novo cinema complex.

IMG Worlds of Adventure is situated within City of Arabia, along Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road.

History
The park was built by the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari (IMG) Group and is the world's largest indoor theme park. The park was part of the City of Arabia development project, a part of Dubailand, which was stalled due to the 2008 property crash. In April 2014, the park got a Dh1.2 billion loan from the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank. The park itself is valued over Dh3.6 Billion. Developers predict that the park will welcome 10,000 visitors daily, and has the capacity to hold up to 20,000 daily. The complex was originally set to open in early 2014, has been since been delayed to late 2014, and again to August 31, 2016. The IMG Group stated in January 2014 that the foundations for the rides were nearly complete and that the structure of the building is complete.

The park includes 21 themed rides.

In December 2016, IMG Worlds announced the 2nd theme park called "IMG Worlds of Legends". The 2nd park will be adjacent to IMG Worlds of Adventure and is expected to have nine unique zones and attractions from other brands, such as Nickelodeon (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants), Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed, Raving Rabbids, Just Dance), Saban Brands (Power Rangers), Pokémon, Mattel (Barbie, Hot Wheels, Bob the Builder, Thomas & Friends, Mega Bloks), The Anime Zone (including Toei Animation (Dragon Ball Z & One Piece) and TV Tokyo (Naruto)), Cartoon Network (We Bare Bears), Legends of Arabia, and Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure.
