Dubai Parks and Resorts revealed details of two Hunger Games-themed rides that will feature in Motiongate Dubai, one of three theme parks scheduled to open next year in the emirate.

The two rides will include an immersive adventure which will take guests through the Capitol on board a hovercraft to see the world of Panem.

The second ride will be a launched roller coaster which transports guests from District 12 to the Capitol via a super high-speed Capitol bullet train.

The adventure begins when guests board vehicles specially designed to replicate the hovercrafts from the film.

Guido Zucchi, general manager of Motiongate Dubai said: “This is a global first and we are extremely excited to have not one, but two rides inspired by The Hunger Games at the Lionsgate Zone opening in motiongate Dubai. We cannot wait to transfer life in Panem from the silver screen into an experience for fans and fun lovers from around the world!”
