BOOK ACTIVITY

Motiongate Dubai

Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, Dubai

Description

Motiongate Dubai is a Hollywood-inspired theme park with attractions and themed areas based on the Smurfs and three large studios: Dreamworks (Madagascar, How to train your dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek), Columbia Pictures and Lionsgate. There are live shows, various types of rides and motion simulators. The park is part of Dubai Parks and Resort, which includes 3 theme parks, one water park and Riverland Dubai, a themed retail and dining complex.

Access & Transport

Dubai Park and Resorts integrated development is located in the Jebel Ali part of the emirate, along Sheikh Zaeed Road, close to the Al Maktoum International Airport. The easiest way is to go by car, with plenty of free parking onsite. Alternatively, it is possible to take the metro line until Ibn Battuta station and then take a shuttle bus (service DPR1) or take a taxi from there.

Instructions & Recommendations

To avoid disappointment, check the age and height limits applicable to the various rides if you are planning to go with younger children - adherence is enforced as the rules are there for safety reasons. We also suggest coupling this activity with lunch or dinner at Riverland Dubai.

Meta review

Plenty of fake online reviews but, screening those out, reviews are positive, in particular coming from families. Visitors enjoy the size of the park and there seem to be quite a few favourites such as the Bullet Train. The main drawbacks that are regularly pointed out are the long queues, the price and the lack of really thrilling rides.

Environmental & Social

Theme parks entail large construction projects and high running energy requirements as well as waste. The Park operator has environmental policies targeting the reduction of waste sent to landfill, electricity consumption and water use. We have insufficient data to comment on social aspects

Conclusion

Motiongate Dubai focus is not on thrilling rides but rather in delivering an immersive experience with various themes on offers in different sections of the park. It does so by mixing shows, designs and rides of good quality. This should appeal to families, teenagers and younger adults.

Key positive

Four different sections with a mix of rides and shows

Good option for families

Clean and well maintained

Key negative

Long queues on weekends and when there are promotions

Expensive when there is no promotion

Not for those looking for extreme rides

Suitability

Suitable for all ages but best for 5 - 50 yrs old, in our opinion. No access problem to the park for visitors with reduced mobility but they will not be able to go on many rides.
