Motiongate Dubai

Motiongate Dubai is a Hollywood-inspired theme park located within Dubai Parks and Resorts on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The park officially opened to the public on December 16, 2016, after a slight delay from its original planned opening in October 2016.

Motiongate Dubai is the largest Hollywood-themed park in the Middle East and combines interactive rides, attractions, and live entertainment across five distinctly themed zones based on popular movie franchises.

The park features collaborations with major studios, including Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, Lionsgate, and Studio Peyo.

Its five themed zones are Studio Central, Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks, Smurfs Village, and Lionsgate, with attractions inspired by films such as The Hunger Games, Ghostbusters, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Hotel Transylvania, and The Smurfs.

Visitors can enjoy over 27 rides and attractions ranging from adrenaline-pumping roller coasters and immersive dark rides to interactive play labs and media-based theater shows. Motiongate Dubai also hosts live performances, character encounters, and on-stage entertainment to engage guests of all ages.

Motiongate Dubai operates year-round and is easily accessible via the Dubai Metro and shuttle services from other parts of Dubai.

It forms a central part of the Dubai Parks and Resorts entertainment complex, offering synergy with nearby theme parks such as LEGOLAND Dubai and the former Bollywood Parks Dubai, now transformed into Real Madrid World. Motiongate Dubai exemplifies Dubai’s goal of providing world-class entertainment experiences by blending iconic Hollywood storytelling with cutting-edge theme park technology and design.
