LONDON, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Merlin Entertainments Group, the world’s
second largest visitor attraction operator, announced today the formation
of a strategic alliance with Tatweer, a member of Dubai Holdings, to create
LEGOLAND Dubailand(R) -- the first LEGOLAND Park to be built outside of
North America and Europe.
LEGOLAND Dubailand is scheduled to open at the end of 2011, and will be a 3
million square-foot theme park project forming part of DUBAILAND(TM), the
world’s most ambitious tourism, leisure and entertainment destination.
Similar to the existing four LEGOLAND Parks at Billund, Denmark; Germany;
Windsor and California (most recently named Best Children’s Park for the
fourth consecutive year by Amusement Today) LEGOLAND Dubailand features more
than 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions geared towards families with
children ages 2 to 12.
LEGOLAND Dubailand offers families a unique opportunity to let their
imaginations run free and be immersed in LEGO(R) experiences with its mix
of kid-powered rides, cool building challenges, spectacular LEGO models,
interactive attractions, family-friendly coasters, and shows that pull the
audience into the action. All these elements, which bring millions of
visitors to LEGOLAND Parks in North America and Europe, will be part of the
LEGOLAND Dubailand experience.
Merlin Entertainments Group and Tatweer are also looking at a number of
other potential developments, including the establishment of themed
LEGOLAND hotels and possibly other attractions from Merlin Entertainments
extensive portfolio.
