It amazes me how these parks operate. They must make a huge loss. Every vlog I've ever watched from Dubai/UAE the parks are deserted. Beautiful though themeing at Motiongate!
I wonder if it’s anything to do with advertising or just that some foreign visitors just don’t resonate with Middle Eastern culture. Hence not many tourists.
@@86wellacre Personally despite being a big parks buff, I just don't have any interest in visiting the country & supporting their economy. Lot of shady stuff with workers going on in UAE.
What an amazing park with a really nice balance of rides. Some of those queues are top notch. The John Wick queue set design is one of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
I just love your vlogs. You literally cover everything and we feel like we're there with you both. Dubai looks stunning. Can't wait to watch the rest of your trip ❤ xx
Great start to the trip! What a very nicely themed park. Everything looked very well done and taken care of. I loved the Las Vegas Fremont Street replica!
56:29 the world's only coaster with platform screen doors. Platform gates, normal in the coaster world-although I know the Giant Inverted Boomerang/Invertigo have full height gates instead of closer to the waist like what is expected.
This park looks amazing! Like a dream for theme park fans who are also movie fans. I would book myself a ticket, but my goodness, is it far away and expensive to get there. This park would get so much more visitors if this stands in Europe.
I know what you mean there aren’t a lot of people but they are so thought through and I love all the rides .you guys are so amazing and I’m going here July 2024 I love John wick it’s my favorite.
Happy new year guys . You have to give the hunger games films ago , even if it’s just something to watch whilst you’re travelling, the first 2 films are unbelievable. Park looks frigging awesome
What a fantastic Park and great layout. The animated Dreamworks section looked really good and very detailed with Shrek, Madagasca and HTTYD (I love Toothless) ❤ Poor Charlotte's face ha ha when she got drenched on the rapids ride 😂 I've been on the Popeye ride at Universal Shawn lol - good job it was sunny to dry off ! The Hotel Transylvania ride was long too. There's 4 films out to watch. Not a Smurf fan but the ride had lots of action and things to look at. Having the character actors out and about is good. Great vlog👍
Love the vlog. We went in August 23 and it was super hot, seeing all the fantastic theming is making us want to go back. I just can’t understand why they don’t get so many visitors as the park is amazing.
Fantastic way to start to the trip for the 1st vlog the dreamwork indoor area looked incredible but the cloudy with a chance of meatball water ride was so funny couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂
Stayed at Dubai Parks and Resorts back in July 2018, so we had full access to the then 3 parks here! Such a great park, would definitely go back if I could.
Fab vlog, takes me back , when we visited last year, the parks were so quiet when we visited in August as well, that meatballs water ride got us as well, but was nice in the 40c heat, now you see me ride, hunger games area brilliant, hope people start visiting :) 😊
Looks a great park must say i do love to see the on ride filming.have a great time shawn and charlotte.sorry to say it did make me laugh on the rapids that 1st splash poor charlotte got
I wonder if on ride filming would help with attendance. I will miss the povs but super excited for traveling along with you! That was an epic rapids ride!
I mean, it's really only enthusiasts that care that much about filming, and it's not enthusiasts that generate the overwhelming majority of revenue for parks. I would guess the problem is something other than that.
It just goes to show the results you can achieve when you're free to pre-plan every detail of a brand new park to be built from the ground up. Perfection!
That place was so well kept , although quiet it was definately a well funded, well presented theme park , shame the numbers arent higher , although us in the west do have a bigger obsession with theme parks it seems , if you built this in England it would be packed
Omg you have to watch the hotel Transylvania movies especially around Halloween..They are so cute but still good enough to hold adults attention. You must watch them!!!
Sadly the locals couldn’t care less about theme parks, and the tickets are quite expensive, just a shame really with how nice the park is, but at least the waits are short! You used to be able to film on rides for the first year from memory, then it stopped suddenly. The only thing these parks in DPR seem to miss is key theming on the rides, for example Green Hornet coaster was originally meant to have tunnels and generally a lot to look at, but the budget seemed to have ran out after doing the queues. Nothing to complain about in the queue lines though, sometimes they are more exciting than the ride itself! I am just watching the video as I type and I noticed you said the same! If they invested in the right things, it would be so much better. For example, the huge fake shops by the Now You See Me coaster, there’s no need, and theming on the rides itself would be preferable! Expect to see bigger queues in waterparks and also on Yas Island! Make sure to do some tourist attractions too, if you can! Enjoy yourselves!
I got so excited when I saw you posted I've been waiting to see you guys getting back on trips, its always so lovely to see all these different places in which I hope to explore myself one day!
Hi shawn and Charlotte. I remember watching you and harry here when it first opened. We followed you by going August 18 , i think you did film the onride Madagascar coaster back then , i screamed the whole way round ..also yes it was deserted only about 50 people in the park. I did enjoy the hanging coaster and hotel tran.
It’s not somewhere I’m ever likely to go so it’s really interesting to see all the parks and get a sense of the attractions on offer - nice to get some sunny warmth even if just via a screen! 😅
Wow this park looks great! I’ve never heard of it before. Didn’t even realise Dubai had theme parks. Very quiet. I wonder if the school holidays are a lot busier? We can only go in the school holidays because I am a teacher but would definitely consider a February half term visit next year to this place! I couldn’t visit in the summer, it would be too hot for me. The hotel you’re stopping at looks great too. Charlotte on the rapids was a hilarious highlight😆. Great Vlog
Great video love the theme park vids but If you want tonsee on ride footage from this park. Check out the side menu hide and seek there is loads of onride footage.
Hey guys thank you so much for your videos! We love watching them. Is the Hotel Transylvania and Ghostbuster ride on the ground ? Are there places to eat ?
How did you let allow shoot videos indoors many parks?? I went to there they told me no videos.😢 because I want to make memory. Sad😢 sorry for my bad english.
Thank you for showing us this, as many of us wouldn't consider visiting such a country, I would honestly rather spend a weekend on Brighton Pier than step foot in that place
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from a visit to Motiongate Dubai! This movie-themed park opened in 2016 and features 7 roller coasters, along with a fantastic variety of dark rides and other attractions. In this vlog, we show you everything that Motiongate Dubai has to offer, including all of the rides and themed areas. This includes the incredible indoor Dreamworks-themed area, Capitol Bullet Train, John Wick, Ghostbusters, and much more! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte from the trip from on the channel. 😀😎👍👍
I think they did have a saw attraction for a Halloween event once if i am not mistaken but yeah they are definitely missing a year round permanent Saw themed attraction here as that is one of Lionsgate’s biggest film IPs
Shawn and Charlotte, Beautiful parks but very few people. The rides are hit and miss, unfortunately but I'm looking forward to the next resort! Cheers, Rik Spector
Can't believe how quite the park is guys, I honestly would think a park like that would be busy year round. Maybe it's the thing in Dubai but I could guarantee back home Alton Towers would be a lot busier given the fact it's 23 degrees.
You guys have brought me so much joy because recently my grandfather passed away unexpectedly and you guys make me so happy when you go to new places
Sorry to hear that. We’re glad that our videos help during this difficult time.
he mustve been a great man RIP
@@Horzo271 he was a very wonderful person and lived for 77 years
you mustve been very lucky he sounds like an amazing guy hes probably looking at you rn thinking how amazing u are ,he will be in my prayers.RIP ❤

It doesn’t seem sustainable at all!! It’s crazy.

@86wellacre I think it's the later...
It isn’t I visited loads of parks in uae I’m a local so of course I would and it isnt
@@86wellacre Personally despite being a big parks buff, I just don't have any interest in visiting the country & supporting their economy. Lot of shady stuff with workers going on in UAE.
3:37 yes the queues have been full so many times and they normal are on weekends and school trips
This park is epic and so well themed … classic rapids and poor Charlotte being soaked … was gold !!
It was a soaker!
What an amazing park with a really nice balance of rides. Some of those queues are top notch. The John Wick queue set design is one of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
awsome to see the trips begin once more, almost 2 years since the engagement, still best moment on the channel.
Thank you, it was a special moment!
I just love your vlogs. You literally cover everything and we feel like we're there with you both. Dubai looks stunning. Can't wait to watch the rest of your trip ❤ xx
Thank you so much. We love taking everyone along for the adventure!
Another classic clip of Charlotte on a water rapid ride - well done Charlotte you did great!
16:03 A screen like the dragon eye for the Nemesis monster would be awsome on the station structure body for Nemesis
It would be!
The 6 year wait for Shaun to take Charlotte to Swallow Falls was worth it! 😋
It was great to experience it again!
@15:15 I’m crying!! This is amazing ❤
Great start to the trip! What a very nicely themed park. Everything looked very well done and taken care of. I loved the Las Vegas Fremont Street replica!
Thank you!

It was a good laugh!
Amazing vlog and great tips like always!
I can't wait to check it out for myself in a week!
I know what you mean there aren’t a lot of people but they are so thought through and I love all the rides .you guys are so amazing and I’m going here July 2024 I love John wick it’s my favorite.
This vlog right here has inspired me to look into booking a trip to the UAE for me and my husband! Thank you so much for sharing!
Happy new year guys .
You have to give the hunger games films ago , even if it’s just something to watch whilst you’re travelling, the first 2 films are unbelievable.

It’s a great resort!
That shrek ride looks awesome. Almost no screens. Love it
It’s a brilliant ride
Shawn you absolutely have to watch the Hotel Transylvania films when you get back. They are brilliant
your videos bring me happiness

I do remember swallow falls 😂
My favourite part 😂😂 watching Charlotte on the water rides especially the soakers 😂😂
Looks a great park must say i do love to see the on ride filming.have a great time shawn and charlotte.sorry to say it did make me laugh on the rapids that 1st splash poor charlotte got
Thank you, the rapids was a soaker!

I mean, it's really only enthusiasts that care that much about filming, and it's not enthusiasts that generate the overwhelming majority of revenue for parks. I would guess the problem is something other than that.
Aw Shrek is fantastic and that ride recreated the most iconic scenes - the stage show is awesome too. Swallow Falls was fun lol.
They have done such a fantastic job with this ride
Omg love the Shrek ride ❤❤
U missed Ghostbusters
Love the content keep it up and can't wait for all the new rollercoasters in 2024
Well done for going on the water ride you are doing amazing with them xxx
It just goes to show the results you can achieve when you're free to pre-plan every detail of a brand new park to be built from the ground up. Perfection!
Can you say Epic Universe!
The video is so wobbly it’s making me feel like I’m on a rollercoaster
Charlotte needed a poncho!!!🤣
Great video as always! If that park was in the UK it would be packed everyday!
Great update - inspired to visit and really enthused for universal GB!!!
That place was so well kept , although quiet it was definately a well funded, well presented theme park , shame the numbers arent higher , although us in the west do have a bigger obsession with theme parks it seems , if you built this in England it would be packed
🎪🎥🎞🎬⛲ What a fantastic park looks outstanding glad it was a positive experience overall.
congratulations on 370 subscribers
Looks like a decent park. Enjoy your trip! Looking forward to all the vlogs.
Thank you. So much coming up!
Certainly looks an impressive park with some great indoor themed areas. Something like this in the uk would be great.
Omg you have to watch the hotel Transylvania movies especially around Halloween..They are so cute but still good enough to hold adults attention. You must watch them!!!
Missed Charlotte’s reactions to water rides 31:26
Great to be back on them!

Thank you for sharing! We had a fantastic day as it really is a great park!
Nopeee, it's not that expensive, it's just that they probably went on a weekday, so ofc there was alot less crowding..
29:22 Charlotte vs The Rapid XD She didn't even have a pancho!
What a soaker!
I got so excited when I saw you posted I've been waiting to see you guys getting back on trips, its always so lovely to see all these different places in which I hope to explore myself one day!
Thank you! There’s so much coming up across the next few weeks!
Awsome! I can't wait :)@@ThemeParkWorldwide
25:54
Thanks, guys, for showing me what the park has to offer at this time of year. It's definitely food for thought as I sit here in a cold, damp Wales.
I get it.
Hello theme park worldwide wow that is very amazing I wish I could go it looks really fun
'I need a poncho'
POOR CHARLOTTE 😂
Hey Shawn and Charlotte am currently not very well so am watching your videos to cheer me up you guys are amazing have a nice trip in Abu Dabi
Get well soon!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide aww thank you so very much
Fantastic theme park! Amazing to see absolutely nobody around!
Aww feel so sorry for Charlotte getting wet on the river expedition ride but with the sunny weather I bet it didn't take too long to dry off bless her

looks like the park is at around 5% capacity as usual with these uae spots... ! wonder what they will look like in 40 years
Lovely park in Dubai loved the themesx

How many coaster credits do you both have?
I have over 1400 now!
Incredible theming! It's on our bucket list to go and do a review, great vlog guys!
Great vlog - i dont know anything about theme parks in dubai so this is great to see. Dreamworks section looks a lot of fun 😊
It’s a fantastic indoor area with so much on offer
Brilliant vlog
Perfect weather for water rides Charlotte. X
Are you going to IMG and Atlantis water park?
We will be visiting them both
There is nothing funnier then Charlotte when she gets soaked 😂
What an impressive park. I prefer parks when they are not very busy. Love Ghostbusters ! xx
We certainly got plenty of rides in!
This is straight-up empty compared other theme parks around the world.
You’re amazing shawn!
Thank you!
Great video love the theme park vids but If you want tonsee on ride footage from this park. Check out the side menu hide and seek there is loads of onride footage.
It’s a shame that they don’t allow it even with a chest mount
I’m in Dubai too watching your vlog. Looks I need to visit Motiongate as well.
Have fun!
Hey guys thank you so much for your videos! We love watching them. Is the Hotel Transylvania and Ghostbuster ride on the ground ? Are there places to eat ?
Thank you. They are indeed!
looks amazing. i loved the look of the shrek ride :) hope you both are having the best time!
It’s such a great ride
How did you let allow shoot videos indoors many parks?? I went to there they told me no videos.😢 because I want to make memory. Sad😢 sorry for my bad english.
We had no issues filming at the parks
Been waiting for this!
Enjoy!
I’m not too surprised it looks so fresh when no one appears to go there to ruin it anyway 😅 x
Great vid, Curious, how do these types of parks survive when they're built for huge crowds but hardly anyone goes to them?
It’s crazy how quiet they are most of the time. There’s just so much money over here to keep them operational I guess!
Ah charlotte breaking my heart laughing your face a picture cloudy with a chance of water drops
Are you going to IMG world? We went September amazing park 👌🏼
Our vlog is on the way!
First vlog I’ve seen for ages
Enjoy 🤩 Plenty more coming up!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Good
You know 5 mins before that water ride Charlotte was promised it wasn’t that bad 😅😅
Hope you have an amazing trip ❤🎉
Thank you!
This Dubai park is absolutely beautiful when was it built it looks modern
Thank you for showing us this, as many of us wouldn't consider visiting such a country, I would honestly rather spend a weekend on Brighton Pier than step foot in that place
Thanks for watching. We’re having a great time so far!
Are you going to the Efteling this year
We will be for the new dark ride. We’re very excited for it!
wow what a fantastic place love sherk my favourite 😍I hope if they build in the UK we get all that to. Great video look forward to the rest
It’s such a great park, especially the Dreamworks area!
great vlog both bloomin freezing in the uk 🇬🇧 have a great time 😄😄😄

It’s a very impressive entrance 😍
@@ThemeParkWorldwide It looks it, and the movie reel, really makes it pop.
