Superman Season was a two-month-long event with a number of special attractions featuring the Man of Steel. Fans also got to meet Superman and Supergirl live and in-person on the Warner Bros Plaza stage as well as take part in special themed rides and activities.
This is not the first superhero-themed event to be held at Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi, certified the World's Largest Indoor Theme Park by Guinness World Records.
In 2019, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Batman, the attraction set the record for the “largest gathering of people wearing capes,” with 2,266 people wearing capes.
Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi is made up of six immersive lands — Warner Bros Plaza, Metropolis, Gotham City, Cartoon Junction, Dynamite Gulch and Bedrock. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is set to open soon at the Yas Island attraction, giving fans the chance to step inside all the beloved locations from the record-breaking book series and the blockbuster films they inspired.
Developed by Warner Bros Discovery's Global Themed Entertainment and Yas Island developer Miral, more details of the Harry Potter-themed land and when development will begin are yet to be revealed.
