Officials have announced details of two attractions that will open with the under-construction Motiongate Dubai when it debuts next year.
Zombieland
Zombieland Blast Off, inspired by the Zombieland film, will feature a 18-story free-fall tower set in the theme park’s post-zombie apocalypse area.
motiongate™ Dubai guests will venture into an abandoned funhouse, fleeing from zombies which roam this area of the park. As they walk through the once bright and happy funhouse, guests are now faced with barricaded doors, scrawled survival tips, and improvised weapons. As the zombies begin to close in, the only way to escape is straight up! Riders are sent screaming into the sky over the Pacific Playland Boardwalk on a thrilling drop tower experience.
Underworld
Inspired by the Underworld film franchise, the Underworld 4D attraction “will offer a multi-sensory 4D theatre attraction which takes audiences on a non-stop, cinematic thrill with the powerful vampire warrior.”
Guests begin their mysterious journey by entering the courtyard of a production soundstage in the Sony Pictures Studio zone of motiongate™ Dubai. Passing through the doors, guests find themselves in an entirely different world. The battle between vampires and lycans has endured through the ages. Selene has just escaped from captivity when the world has declared war on vampires and the government has ordered a mass cleansing. In a desperate search for her love Michael, and the daughter she never met, Selene fights off monstrous lycans. The audience quickly finds themselves in the middle of a supernatural war in this action-packed theatrical 4D experience.
When it opens in October of 2016, Motiongate Dubai will unite the Sony Pictures Studios, DreamWorks Animation and Lionsgate companies to “deliver cinematic adventure through immersive rides and attractions for the whole family all year round.”
Motiongate Dubai is one of the theme parks planned by Dubai Parks and Resorts. It will “bring Hollywood films to life through 27 themed rides and attractions spread across five zones; DreamWorks, Lionsgate, Sony Picture Studios, Smurfs Village and the park’s entrance; Studio Central.”
