Lost Valley: Dinosaur Adventure at IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai

[Loon]

I recently found this video of a strange rip-off of the Dinosaur ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

This ride's called "Forbidden Territory" and it's from the Lost Valley: Dinosaur Adventure "zone", not land, of the IMG Worlds of Adventure theme park in Dubai.


Here's a description of the "Forbidden Territory" dark ride:

Want to see life-size dinosaurs roam the Earth? Enter the Forbidden Territory and be transported through time, get up close with some of the most amazing and terrifying creatures the planet has ever known. But don't get too close! Are you ready to enter The Danger Zone?!

And a description of the "zone":

The prehistoric lost world of dinosaurs is roaring back to life with a bang in the Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure zone. With hair-raising dinosaur rides and not-to-be-missed attractions, audiences of all ages can gear up to go back in time to a thrilling world that existed millions of years ago

Here's an overall tour of the "zone":

WoA is the largest indoor theme park in the world, maybe?


It's split into a few different themed "adventure zones", themed to things like Marvel and Cartoon Network.


Aside from the Forbidden Territory ride, there are several other attractions in the Dinosaur Adventure "zone".

"Predator" rollercoaster

What goes up, must come down... Journey through the jungles of the Lost Valley - Dinosaur Adventure on the Predator, an unforgettable lesson in the power of gravity. Loops, exhilarating rolls... nothing can prepare you the heart-stopping beyond-vertical plummet to Earth. Don't look down!

There seem to be several animatronics and models littered around the land, most of which look to be around "Predator".



You can see some in action near the end of this video (around 5 minutes 53 seconds in).

"The Velociraptor" roller coaster

Blast off on this thrilling adventure that launches from the prehistoric jungles of the Lost Valley- Dinosaur Adventure out into the desert of Dubai itself! Not for the faint-hearted.... You think you've got what it takes?

The Velociraptor seems to be the only ride that actually goes outside of the building.

"Dino Carousel"

Take a spin with the friendlier inhabitants of the Lost Valley- Dinosaur Adventure in a unique-dinosaur themed carousel... but be careful... some dinosaurs are more friendly than others.

Sorry, I couldn't find any other video.

"Adventure Fortress" playground

Learn the skills needed to protect the village from the dinosaurs of Lost Valley in this adventure playground... have fun exploring ladders, tunnels, slides, bridges, nets and climbing challenges.

Same video from earlier, but "Adventure Fortress" footage can be found around the 2 minutes 3 seconds mark.

"Spice Valley" restaurant

Deep in the Lost Valley, Spice Valley serves delicious Indian inspired cuisine to satisfy even the most famished of dinosaur handlers... Take a seat and soak up the atmosphere... the shimmering gas-fired tandoor ovens and the flame roasted rotisserie meats; this is Indian hospitality at its best. Just make sure you're hungry before you join us at this buffet style restaurant.

This is the only video I could find for this one, and it's just some guy saying the name of the restaurant.

"Carnivore Hut" restaurant
Or, as the website calls it: "Carnivore Hut brought to you by Wingstop (America's Number 1 Chicken Wing concept)". This restaurant only seems to exist as concept art.

The Carnivore Hut has been serving up the very best chicken wings from a small window since it was opened decades ago by a ship's cook grown tired of the island's fruit. Taste the chicken wings that have been perfected over generations and discover for yourself why being marooned in the Lost Valley isn't quite as bad as people say.

Another concept art only eatery, "360 Express"

360 Express serves gourmet burgers and hotdogs that guaranteed to please kids and adults alike.

Now, back to things that exist, the stores!

"The Explorer's Supply" store

Ever wanted to own a dinosaur's egg? Then head to the Explorer's Supply depot to find rare treasures and all the kit any intrepid explorer could ever need. Remember: the best explorers are always prepared.

Store footage starts at the 7 minute mark:

"Raptor Outpost" store

Want the perfect memento of your day at IMG Worlds of Adventure? Then why not stop at the Raptor Outpost to find t-shirts, mugs and other fun, branded memorabilia. Take a little of the IMG Worlds of Adventure magic home with you.

And...that's all I could find on this place. Pretty interesting for sure and better than most themed attractions I've seen from Dubai. Lest we forget this:

Aside form the spiders and some of the more poorly hidden screens, that wasn't half bad.

Aside form the spiders and some of the more poorly hidden screens, that wasn't half bad.

"Poorly hidden" is a bit generous. But still, it's definitely one of the better rides I've seen come out of Dubai. Most of them are very cheap looking.
