A Blockbuster-inspired theme park based in Dubai has announced two new world record-breaking rides set to launch to thrill seekers early next year.
MOTIONGATE Dubai will be the first attraction in the world to feature John Wick and Now You See Me themed rollercoasters, with the iconic film series boasting a combined total of nearly $1 billion in the global box office.
Not only are the new rollercoasters expected to be massively popular amongst fans of the internationally acclaimed action films, but also will provide plenty toe-curling exhilaration amongst adrenaline junkies who may have never seen the award-winning thrillers.
World’s fastest single-cart spinning ride
With speeds reaching 70 kilometres per hour, Now You See Me: High Roller is set to be the world’s fastest single-car spinning coaster, which immerses guests on an intense journey of tantalising twists, toe-curling turns and devilish drops based on the films thrillingly near impossible heists.
A multitude of thrills
Incorporating forward and backward motion spins, speeds of up to 64 kilometres per hour and an incredible 2.8 G-Force, the John Wick: Open Contract ride transports guests into John Wick’s notorious underworld The Continental.
Riders will race down a turbulent 310 metre track which incorporates plenty of 4D elements, which ramps up the multi-sensory experience and thrills.
