About IMG Worlds of Adventure
Imagine an entertainment complex so vast it could swallow three Disneyland Main Streets whole - that's IMG Worlds of Adventure, the world's largest indoor theme park spanning a staggering 1.5 million square feet (140,000 square meters). Within this climate-controlled wonderland, visitors experience heart-pounding adventures where Marvel superheroes come to life through cutting-edge technology.
The crown jewel is undoubtedly the Velociraptor rollercoaster, its 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles) of track propelling riders at 100 km/h (62 mph) past life-sized dinosaurs and through 61-meter (200-foot) vertical drops. Nearby, the Hulk Epsilon Base 3D catapults guests 15 meters (50 feet) into the air amidst a battle between Earth's mightiest heroes and their arch-nemeses.
What truly sets this park apart is its meticulous attention to scale. The towering Tyrannosaurus Rex in The Lost Valley zone stands an awe-inspiring 24 meters (80 feet) tall, while Cartoon Network Land's colorful rides sit perfectly proportioned for younger adventurers. Even the shopping boulevard stretches an impressive 300 meters (1,000 feet), lined with themed eateries serving everything from shawarma to superhero-shaped waffles.
Unlike outdoor parks where desert heat can dampen the fun, IMG maintains a comfortable 22°C (72°F) year-round - cool enough to enjoy attractions like the 360° spinning Spider-Man ride without breaking a sweat. It's this combination of perfect climate, jaw-dropping scale, and beloved characters that makes every visit unforgettable.
Fun Facts
The Velociraptor rollercoaster hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds - faster than a Ferrari Testarossa's acceleration. Its 61m (200ft) drop equals a 20-story freefall.
The Hulk Epsilon ride uses military-grade flight simulators adapted from fighter jet training programs. The 3D projections are so realistic, Marvel actors did double-takes during their visits.
The T-rex animatronic weighs 1.8 tons (like a Hummer SUV) and contains 3,200 moving parts. Its roar vibrates at 120 decibels - louder than a rock concert.
Sharp-eyed visitors can spot 43 subtle Marvel symbols hidden throughout the park - from Captain America's shield in tile patterns to Spider-Man's web designs in railings.
Despite Dubai's 50°C (122°F) summers, the park maintains a perfect 22°C (72°F) using enough insulation to wrap around the Burj Khalifa 12 times.
The $500 "Ultimate Fan Experience" includes backstage tech tours, coaster re-rides without queues, and selfies with life-sized Avengers that tweet from their official accounts.
