The World of The Hunger Games opens up for UAE residents as Motiongate Dubai launches rides and attractions from the blockbuster film franchise, which starred Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth.

The Hollywood-inspired theme park, which is located within Dubai Parks and Resorts, features this experience in its Lionsgate Zone, one of the five nestled within the sprawling complex. Attractions include a replica of the movie set, along with exclusive video content featuring film characters Effie Trinket (played by Elizabeth Banks in the film) and Caesar Flickerman (played by Stanley Tucci).

A high-energy street show, an immersive shopping outlet with branded merchandise and a street-front cafe give a glimpse of the dystopian world of Panem. Thrill-seekers can hop on to the Capitol Bullet Train, a half-pipe rollercoaster. The Panem Aerial Tour offers a hovercraft experience over the districts en route to the Capitol.

The theme is offering a winter season daily pass for Dh165 for UAE and GCC residents and Dh235 for others.
