The park will feature attractions such as a roller coaster, IMAX experience, simulator rides, adventure zones, VR games, arcade video games, a snow park, a kids’ area, and a fountain show. With a massive 66-meter Ferris wheel, the park is expected to boost tourism in the city. The project is open to collaboration with local and global companies.
