Got any big plans for October 2016? Now you do. You're going to Dubai, buddy!
Lionsgate today announced plans for "Hunger Games"-themed rides and a gift shop at Motiongate Dubai, according to Deadline.
"Our franchises are continuing to drive location-based entertainment opportunities around the world,” Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said. “We’re proud to partner with the team at Dubai Parks and Resorts to create a thrilling total entertainment experience."
A theme park has long been rumored, with Feltheimer teasing the possibility as far back as 2013.
And if the possibility of, perhaps, virtual arrow-shooting and a water ride (they could base it on that scene in "Mockingjay" where the dams break! Think of the flumes! The flumes!), plus the requisite upside-down rollercoaster don't get you going, maybe this will: Lionsgate said that a live show based on the "Step Up" franchise is also part of their Dubai plans.
Humble suggestion: revamp a few Dance Dance Revolution machines to go along with it? Consider our tickets bought.
