Dubai Motiongate Park

Yeah I thought the same.

POV's!











Looks like the DreamWorks area will open soon and the Lionsgate/Hunger Games area will be opening next year.

They are, I think, providing a lot of decent images!

The Hotel Transylvania darkride is one of the best uses of a trackless ride system that I've ever seen. I love how all the cars drive through the main hall to all the different scenes.

[Dirk_Ermen]

I agree with Herman on that. I love that part of the ride. But in general all the rides looks quite meh. Also quite bad that a queueline announcement is being put through the speakers of the actual darkride. Ruins the ride experience quite a lot imo.

Madagascar trains:



Looks like DreamWorks will be opening soon including the Gerstlauer launch and Mack inverted powered coaster.

I kinda feel like this park is destined to fail because all the darkrides are so generic and not immersive at all

^ Let's be positive.

From what I've seen from Dubai is that they barely have any themed parks like this. So I think it would easily top the standard in that area. It might not be immersive like the Disney rides. But I wouldn't surprise if it still would wow the GP.

It seems like they'll have enough other rides too, when they finally open.

The screens on the Ghostbusters ride are hilariously small.

So apparently the park is adding more theming and elements to their dark rides and testing out new effects. Also here are some more pictures from inside DreamWorks and Lionsgate construction.

I feel much fantasy from those "indoor" elements!

POV of the park's rapids ride

And finally we have a POV of Madagascar Mad Pursuit since the park was reserving first POV rights to TPR.

The launch looks pretty cool. I hope that normally it will be darker so you can't see all the track supports or walls.

The POV was shot with work lights on and was edited to look darker so Robb could brag about good low light footage.

Good idea though, I hate dark POVs where you can't see anything... it defeats the point of a POV

[Paradox]

New video released by the park about the How To Train Your Dragon themed Mack powered suspended coaster which is now open!

[Coasterkidmwm]

So it's an Arthur thing?

[Paradox]

Yes

[Dirk_Ermen]

Arthur was a fun prototype for when it was built. It's definitely a darkride system on steroids so I'm curious on what they've done with this ride. The teaser trailer sure looks good!

That's a great way of not having the most advanced animatronics but still make them fit in with the whole ride, just let them be wooden puppets!
