Expansion of the Lionsgate Zone will feature the world’s first theme park ride inspired by the popular John Wick franchise.
MOTIONGATE Dubai, the region’s largest immersive Hollywood-inspired theme park, will launch two thrilling new rides as part of its expansion of the Lionsgate Zone.
Thrill-seekers and fans of the major motion picture franchises John Wick and Now You See Me, will be able to experience two record-breaking new rides when MOTIONGATE Dubai becomes home to the first-ever theme park rollercoaster inspired by the global hit action franchise John Wick. The Lionsgate Zone will also introduce the world’s fastest single-car spinning coaster based upon the famous twists and turns of heist thriller franchise Now You See Me.
The launch of these two, world-first coasters will earn MOTIONGATE Dubai the impressive record for the maximum number of rollercoasters in a single theme park in the Middle East.
Set over a 310-meter track, and reaching speeds of up to 64km per hour, John Wick: Open Contract will deliver up to 2.8 G-force from the 4D free spin coaster. Inspired by the events of the recent films, guests will embark on a journey that simulates the epic action of the John Wick world as the coaster races down a 4D track that provides both forward and backward, freestyle spins.
Reaching speeds of up to 70 km per hour, riders of Now You See Me: High Roller will feel like they are part of a daring escape as they race to expose the antics of a criminal mastermind. Expect drops, non-inverted loops and turn sections which will see riders make a full 180-degree turn after entering a thrilling half-loop section of track, followed by a half twist!
Denis Pascal, General Manager at MOTIONGATE Dubai, commented: “We’re continually looking at ways to enhance the MOTIONGATE Dubai experience and we cannot wait to break some world records with these two brand new coasters. They will not disappoint even the most daring amongst us.”
