Construction on a 350,000 thousand square foot Marvel theme park has begun in the City of Arabia, Dubai.
Marvel Adventure will be a vital part of The Ilyas & Mustafa Galadari Group's plans to open a gigantic entertainment centre and will include Marvel-themed retail outlets, dining facilities and interactive entertainment experiences. Set to open at the end of 2013, an official ground breaking ceremony took place earlier today to signify the start of construction.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Marvel for our multi-faceted themed family entertainment destination. This will be one part of the region’s largest entertainment destinations that IMG is developing which is sure to be a strategic landmark in Dubai, appealing to the region as well as other parts of the world," said Ilyas Galadari and Mustafa Galadari of IMG Group.
"Following the outstanding global and local box office success of Marvel’s The Avengers, and the strong affinity for Marvel in the UAE, we are thrilled to be working with the IMG Group to bring Marvel’s most popular characters to kids and families across Dubai," adds Simon Philips, President of Marvel Entertainment International.
"Whether it’s having fun at one of the entertainment experiences, hanging out with friends and enjoying a meal or collecting the latest Marvel gadgets and action figures, there is truly something for everyone at Marvel Adventure." What would you like to see at
