WARNER BROS. WORLD Abu Dhabi is set to open its doors to thrillseekers later this month and the level of excitement is at an all-time high.
Plans for the park were initially rolled out in 2007 but were halted by the global financial crisis.
In May 2015, Miral signed the general construction contract with Belgian contractor Six Construct, thus resuming construction that year.
Ahead of the official launch, Miral chairman Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak said, “The launch of Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is yet another milestone in the Emirate’s journey to further enrich its tourism offering, and help establish it as one of the world’s leading tourist destinations. The park is another great addition to Yas Island’s immersive experiences and award-winning attractions.”
