Dubai & Abu Dhabi 2024 - Part 8

Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi

Saturday - May 11th 2024

Today we visited Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, the last themepark of our trip. The indoor park was located just behind our hotel and opened in the late morning. So we slept in and after a late breakfast we got ready for a fun day in the park. Once we were inside the park we watched the Welcome Show on the Warner Bros. Plaza and then we headed to Metropolis. The left hand side of the park was based on the DC Comics, while the other sides was based on the classic Warner Bros Cartoons, like The Flintstones. Our first ride was Justice League: Warworld Attacks, which was a fun dark ride, but nothing spectacular, followed by Green Lantern: Galactic Odyssey, a flying theatre. Next was Gotham City, where we rode Batman Knight Flight, definitely the best attraction at Warner Bros. World. In that action packed ride we helped Batman keeping Gotham City safe. The Gotham City area of the park looked amazing and offered a couple more rides and a funhouse themed after Batman's antagonist Joker. I didn't like the fun house a lot, but it looked cool. Riddler's Revolution on the other was pretty good.

After we left the DC Comics lands behind, we entered Cartoon Junction. There we got in line for Scooby-Doo! The Museum of Mysteries. In that lovely dark ride we had to help Scooby and his gang to solve the mysteries of the museum. We also wanted to ride Tom & Jerry: Swiss Cheese Spin coaster, but the wait time was just too long. So we continued to Dynamite Gulch to ride the other rollercoaster in the park called Fast & Furry-Ous, a Vekoma suspended coaster. Unfortunately the ride broke down just when it was our time, but we were allowed to skip the line once it reopened. Instead we headed to Bedrock, the village of The Flinstones and got lunch at Bronto Burgers. Claudia and I both ordered the plant based Impossible Burger with fries. Afterwards the coaster was running again and we were really allowed to skip the line. The coaster itself was fun, but way too short.

Now we walked back to Cartoon Junction and queued for Animayhem, a shooter dark ride like Disney's Toy Story Mania. This area of the park was more family oriented and so the wait times climbed and climbed. Therefore we bought popcorn and walked back to Matropolis, because we hadn't experienced Superman 360: Bettle for Metropolis yet. In that 360 degree 3D cinema we follow Superman defending Metropolis against enemies. Afterwards we just walked around the park and checked out the shops, because we had done all the attractions we wanted to do.

Since the park got very crowded in the afternoon, we decided to leave Warner Bros. World and spend the rest of the afternoon at the rooftop pool. There we had a couple of drinks while enjoying the lovely waether, before we had dinner at the buffet restaurant again. Later we headed to Yas Mall, it was just a short walk from the hotel, where we strolled through the shops and did some window shopping. Back at the hotel we got two Aperol Spritz before it was time for bed.
