Miral, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, has announced three new Harry Potter-themed lands at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, the region’s largest indoor theme park.
Diagon Alley, Hogwarts
and the Forbidden Forest will span approximately 63,000 square metres, with
construction targeted for completion in 2029.
The expansion will
feature Harry Potter-themed rides created exclusively for the Abu Dhabi park.
Mohamed Al Mubarak,
Chairman of Miral, said: “The introduction of the three new Harry Potter–themed
lands represents a significant milestone in the continued evolution of Yas
Island and the emirate of Abu Dhabi.”
He said the expansion
builds on Miral’s longstanding partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global
Experiences and supports Abu Dhabi’s economic diversification and tourism
ambitions, while reinforcing Yas Island’s position as a global leisure and
entertainment destination.
Simon Robinson,
President, Global Experiences and Studio Operations at Warner Bros. Discovery,
said: “Introducing three new Harry
Potter–themed lands allows us to deepen the connection between our iconic
franchises and the guests who cherish them.”
He added that the
development reflects the company’s long-term vision for immersive entertainment
experiences that set new industry benchmarks.
Warner Bros. World Abu
Dhabi, currently home to six themed lands, will also add two previously
announced DC attractions: Kryptonite Collider and Superman Up and Away.
The combined
developments are expected to increase the park’s overall size by more than 50
percent, adding around 70,000 square metres of theme park space and further
expanding Yas Island’s leisure and entertainment offering. -TradeArabia News Service
