Dubai: Lionsgate is partnering with Dubai Parks and Resorts to create a Lionsgate zone in Motiongate Dubai, which is part of the Dubai Parks and Resorts project.
The Lionsgate zone will feature theme park attractions and a retail facility inspired by Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games franchise, Dubai Parks and Resorts said in a statement on Tuesday. It will also incorporate a live stage show based on Step Up: All In and Step Up: Revolution, part of the company’s Step Up franchise.
“We’re proud to partner with the team at Dubai Parks and Resorts to create a thrilling total entertainment experience designed to attract millions of new fans and continue the global expansion of our brands,” stated Jon Feltheimer, Lionsgate’s chief executive.
Motiongate is a Hollywood-themed park scheduled to open in Dubai in October 2016. It is expected to attract over three million visits a year, offering them 27 different rides and attractions.
Alongside Motiongate, Dubai Parks and Resorts will include Legoland Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai. These will be connected by Riverland, a retail, dining and entertainment walkway. The development will also feature Lapita, a Polynesian-themed resort targeted at families.
