The Lionsgate zone, which will soon be opened to the public, features the world’s first rides and attractions inspired by the international blockbuster movie series. The main ride, the Capitol Bullet Train, is a half-pipe rollercoaster that takes visitors on an adrenaline-filled journey from District 12 to the Capitol. Park-goers can also take a 3D flight, Panem Ariel Tour, which takes in iconic landmarks from multiple films.
Dubai Parks and Resorts also announced its winter line-up and prices. Riverland Dubai, the retail and entertainment district at the heart of the resort, will host free events, including Circus on the River, Pets on the River, live outdoor entertainment and al fresco dining.
The season begins on September 1. UAE residents will pay Dh165 for access to Motiongate and Legoland, while access to Bollywood Parks is Dh95. Non-resident tickets range from Dh235 per park or Dh285 for two parks.

Know before you go
- Jebel Akhdar is a two-hour drive from Muscat airport or a six-hour drive from Dubai. It’s impossible to visit by car unless you have a 4x4. Phone ahead to the hotel to arrange a transfer.
- If you’re driving, make sure your insurance covers Oman.
- By air: Budget airlines Air Arabia, Flydubai and SalamAir offer direct routes to Muscat from the UAE.
- Tourists from the Emirates (UAE nationals not included) must apply for an Omani visa online before arrival at evisa.rop.gov.om. The process typically takes several days.
- Flash floods are probable due to the terrain and a lack of drainage. Always check the weather before venturing into any canyons or other remote areas and identify a plan of escape that includes high ground, shelter and parking where your car won’t be overtaken by sudden downpours.
