Visiting Dubai's Incredible Indoor Theme Park, IMG Worlds of Adventure! Coastin' the Desert Ep. 6
Рет қаралды 28,911
2 ай бұрынThis was our first fully fledged 'theme' park of the trip, and it did NOT disappoint! Home to popular intellectual properties such as Marvel and Cartoon Network, this park packs in multiple themed lands with elaborate dark rides and roller coasters! We were super impressed and it got us wishing we had a park like this out in the U.S.!

We had one that wasn't to bad and had a few decent rides with MGM Grand Adventures...but they were to stupid to manage it properly... I still have a map and a few pieces of merch from there when I went in the early 90s...It was a far better park at the time than Universal Hollywood was by far...We went twice But yeah an indoor park like this would be a good fit for sure

Avengers battle of Ultron and Forbidden Territory are Oceaneering rides. Hulk 3D is Dynamic Attractions but I think the rights to the system are owned by Cavu. Ride of ooo, Dino carousel and the Avengers spinning ride are IE park. Gumball is ETF with the shooting system by Alterface. Velociraptor block zone is 1 metre higher than Bluefire, so it does not have to be trimmed, which makes it flow better. I was Tech director at IMG for the completion of the project and the first year of opening. There were a lot more staff in the early days. There were big visitor numbers for the first 6 months, then nothing. It's a great park, it just does not get the visitors to support the place. The location is not the greatest as it is next to global village, which costs a few dollars to get into.

Bigger crowd ? This park in in the middle of the desert. The closet population center to Dubai is Persia and India and for both of these countries the UAE have strict travel policy. The Arabia peninsula is basically empty, around 40 millions inhabitants for a surface area the size of the European Union.

I was wondering as I was watching the video if this park will have proper upkeep over the years. It looks fantastic now, but it is such a huge space and there is so much details everywhere that making sure everything remains in working order will be a huge undertaking. If crowds and revenues are low, this does not bode well for things to remain looking nice, but most importantly, safe.

IMG is like one of the weirdest parks I've been too. It's genuinely a very good park with a good selection of rides, yet there was nothing that I was particularly compelled to ride again, despite the lack of queues. I'm glad you all liked Hulk, it too is still the stand out ride for me. It was back in 2017 and I'm glad it still holds up in 2024! Oh and yeah, as Matt said, that queue line music for The Ride of Oooooo is epic 🎉
@shroomyesc 2 ай бұрын
Yeah, the walls on the Taiga queue (and the queue for Salama, the spinner) are ridiculous at Linnanmäki but it's impossible to avoid since the park is next to a bunch of schools so plenty of kids come in and they'll have their pencil case with them and such. The only way to avoid that would be bag checks for everyone which wouldn't make sense in a free to enter park.

Another great, entertaining video 😊 Can you remind us what month you visited? It's pretty great that you did not have to wait in line anywhere, but I'm realizing as I'm watching your video that having minimal crowds is part of a theme park's ambiance. Feels like something is missing in an empty park. You having to wait for other people to join on the platform before they could dispatch the ride was somethin' - especially knowing that they don't let riders stay on the ride when there are zero people in line. If I had to walk for five straight minutes to exit and walk back in in a deserted ride, I'd probably pull an eye muscle from rolling my eyes so much. 🙄😒

@@CoasterStudios Yeah, and thats on top of other expenses too like simply flying to Dubai, hotels, and either a rental car or taxi to reach the parks since public transit barely exists in the city. So all of that on top of the high ticket prices definitely deter a lot of people. Especially when there's also competition in the area. I myself visited a month ago but I only had a budget for visiting 2 theme park-ish attractions. That ended up being Atlantis and Motiongate. And even then those both cost around twice what parks back home in Denmark do each, despite arguably not being twice as good.
