The world’s largest indoor theme park opened its doors to public in Dubai last week to lure back some of the tourists and residents who often flee abroad during the scorching desert summer.
IMG Worlds of Adventure, an amusement park that cost more than $1 billion dollars and took three years to build, is as big as 28 football fields, measuring some 1.5 million square feet in size.

"We wanted this to be an icon for Dubai itself and an icon for the region," said Lennard Otto, CEO of IMG Worlds of Adventure. "And opening the world's largest indoor theme park seemed very fitting for this market."
Setting another record, the park's signature ride, the Velociraptor, is the tallest and fastest in the Emirate. It features eight stomach-churning loops and corkscrews.
The park’s boxy exterior consists of a 140,000-square metre air-conditioned cathedral of entertainment teeming with animatronic dinosaurs, roller coasters, Marvel superheroes and Cartoon Network characters.
