2. A new and “iconic Instagram-able” structure near the Arabian Square will be unveiled when season 26 kicks off. This structure will be placed on a pedestrian roundabout.
3. A new corridor now connects Happiness Street with the newly named Fireworks Avenue.
4. The avenue leading to Carnaval will also be home to a new fountain feature.
5. Fiesta Street will introduce more street food kiosks this season.
6. Street entertainment is back.
7. Dotto trains will bring guests to and from the parking zones.

10. Audio-visual quality has been enhanced for performances on the main stage.
Muhannad Ishaq, senior manager – Guest Relations at Global Village, said: “As part of this season’s infrastructure upgrades, we have introduced more seating areas, adjusted some of the paths to improve guest movement, improved our main stage experience and much more.”
