00:00One of the hallmarks of the winter season here in the UAE is going to the amusement
00:20park.
00:21One particular amusement park, Bollywood Parks, is reopening on Thursday just ahead of the
00:27weekend and we went down for an exclusive look at the new rides and one of them even
00:32breaks a world record.
00:33The popular Bollywood-themed park is a fun family destination that promises a whole day
00:38of entertainment and immersion into popular Indian culture.
00:43It showcases rides, attractions, and live shows based on some of Bollywood's biggest
00:48blockbusters.
00:49But you don't really need to be a Bollywood fan to enjoy the park.
00:53It is reopened with fun-packed family rides and kids attractions that have been inspired
00:57by the vibrant Indian culture.
01:00First up is the introduction of the world's tallest swing ride, the Bollywood Sky Flyer
01:05that stands 460 feet tall.
01:08It gives people the experience of hand gliding.
01:11Another ride we tried was the New Wheel of Stars, a 55-meter ferris wheel that gives
01:16you a bird's eye view of Bollywood Parks Dubai and beyond from the top of the ride.
01:22One of our other favorites was Taxi No. 1, an exciting family roller coaster that has
01:26been inspired by Mumbai's famous yellow-black cabs.
01:31And so many more.
01:33Visitors will also be able to experience the buzz of Mumbai's streets with the introduction
01:37of a new shopping destination, the Bollywood Souk Bazaar, offering a wide selection of
01:42shops and stalls selling fashion, accessories, custom souvenirs, and handcrafted gifts.
01:49Make sure you also enjoy a live show or two at the famous Rajmahal Theatre.
01:55Bollywood Parks is located at Dubai Parks and Resorts on Sheikh Zayed Road, around
01:5930 minutes from downtown Dubai.
