With a total of 20 planned outlets, visitors will be able to purchase a range of memorable souvenirs and one-of-a-kind collectables.

IMG Worlds of Adventure's retail offering is being designed to ensure that it will be able to offer something for everyone, with a major focus on creating unique guest experiences.

Group facilities:

In recognition of the fact that it is not just children who can enjoy the benefits of entertainment, IMG Worlds of Adventure is focused on adding to Dubai's already world class MICE industry. IMG Worlds of Adventure's dedicated facilities will be able to host groups of all sizes.

IMG Worlds of Adventure Corporate team is committed to the creation of bespoke events for groups, with customizable activities, including a variety of team building exercises. Venues such as the amphitheater, events hall, themed private dining rooms, and conferencing and banqueting facilities, will provide suitable settings for any group.

Entertainment updates:

Middle East Film & Comic Con saw IMG Worlds of Adventure unveil its brand new ride, Avengers: Battle of Ultron, which blends cutting edge stereoscopic 3D media with a highly detailed, realistic, physical set.

Ensuring that it is not only IMG Worlds of Adventure visitors who can benefit from experiencing this world class entertainment destination, a new 12 screen multiplex cinema, will add to its extensive entertainment offering. The cinema will be accessible to those within the park, as well as having a separate access point for those simply looking for an incredible cinematic experience.

IMG Worlds of Adventure is currently in advanced discussions with a potential operating partner for the cinema, which it expects to announce in the near future.

Commenting on the progress of IMG Worlds of Adventure, Lennard Otto, General Manager said:

"IMG Worlds of Adventure is entering a phase of real momentum with construction ongoing and the finalisation of a number of commercial agreements. Building a destination of this scale creates a great deal of expectation among our stakeholders, and we are working tirelessly on creating an experience that will really blow our visitors away. 

"This will be evident through what promises to be a world class food and beverage offering which puts health and wellbeing at its heart. In addition to this, when we open, our rides, retail, entertainment, and corporate proposition will make IMG Worlds of Adventure a true landmark destination for all."
