After much [speculation](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/11/18/that-hunger-games-theme-park-here-are-5-attractions-we-want-to-see/), Lionsgate announced a partnership Monday with a Dubai Hollywood-themed theme park that will feature _Hunger Games_ attractions. The park is expected to open in October 2016 and sounds like the most or least fun ever! Although details are sparse, according to the [release](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lionsgate-partners-with-dubai-parks-and-resorts-for-the-hunger-games-inspired-theme-park-attractions-at-motiongate-dubai-300058262.html), “The Lionsgate zone will feature state-of-the-art theme park attractions and a retail facility inspired by Lionsgate’s global blockbuster _The_ _Hunger Games_ franchise. It will also incorporate a live stage show based on _Step Up: All In_ and _Step Up: Revolution_, the two most recent films in the Company’s worldwide _Step Up_ franchise.” Nothing like a dance show to cool you down after narrowly escaping death. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3765750/hunger-games-rides-theme-park-2016/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3765750/hunger-games-rides-theme-park-2016/"},"headline":"A Theme Park Is Launching Hunger Games Rides in 2016","datePublished":"2015-03-31T18:50:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:18:13.623Z","description":"Totally worth the trip to Dubai","url":"https://time.com/3765750/hunger-games-rides-theme-park-2016/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Hunger Games","entertainment"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0893d8396d0bb7ff/698781b58e06013ff945a921/hunger-games-mockingjay-tout.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0893d8396d0bb7ff/698781b58e06013ff945a921/hunger-games-mockingjay-tout.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hunger Games","caption":"Hunger Games","creditText":"Murray Close—Lionsgate","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3765750/hunger-games-rides-theme-park-2016/","name":"A Theme Park Is Launching Hunger Games Rides in 2016"}}]}] ```
