SAW, The Strangers and LEGO ghosts: Dubai Parks and Resorts reopens tomorrow

Dubai Parks and Resorts resumes operations tomorrow, October 7, marking a return to normalcy after an extensive six-month closure. The reopening coincides with the onset of Halloween season and the October mid-term school break. Four parks – Motiongate Dubai, Real Madrid World, LEGOLAND Dubai Resort, and The World of Riverland – are set to welcome visitors simultaneously.

At Motiongate Dubai, the annual Fright Nights Halloween event returns for its ninth edition, running from opening day until November 8. This year, Fright Nights features two experiences inspired by Lionsgate horror films: SAW: Trial by Terror and The Strangers: Trapped. Both attractions immerse visitors in the worlds of their respective films, with visitors facing choices that have dire consequences or must remain very, very quiet.

Switching gears to The World of Riverland, the destination's dining and entertainment hub, two new additions have been introduced for the season. These include a bowling experience and Lamborghini Automobili Racing Simulators, complementing existing activities such as go-karting, archery, axe throwing, shooting challenges, mini golf, puzzle rooms, and the Neon Galaxy arcade.

Riverland is divided into four themed zones: French Village, Boardwalk, Sports Boulevard, and The Peninsula, each offering unique dining and entertainment options.

LEGOLAND Dubai Resort kicks off its new season with a brand-new daily sound-and-light show in Miniland, its indoor, air-conditioned area constructed from 20 million LEGO bricks. The miniaturized Dubai skyline and landmarks, including a 17-meter LEGO Burj Khalifa, are brought to life. The theme for the season, "Connecting Through Play," targets families with children aged 2 to 12. LEGOLAND features over 40 rides and attractions, along with 20 slides and water features in the Legoland Water Park.
