Visitors to the Dubai Parks and Resorts (DPR) which is set to open on October 31 will be welcomed at the entrance by a 1km-long, 50m-wide and 6m-deep body of water called Riverland.
Reporters were given a preview of Riverland on Wednesday and saw workers and staff applying finishing touches to its various retail, dining and entertainment outlets.
"Riverland Dubai will connect the three theme parks and water park (Motiongate, Bollywood Parks and Legoland) at Dubai Parks and Resorts, and will be open to everyone with or without a ticket to the adjoining parks," said Riverland Dubai general manager Marcel Hendriks. "After three years in the making, we are delighted to open Riverland Dubai to the public for the first time on Monday."
"The main attractions (at DPR) of course are the parks," he told Khaleej Times. "But Riverland is at the heart of DPR so anytime you want to go to any of the theme parks, you have to come to the Riverland, free of charge." (Tickets to theme parks vary in prices)
