Superheroes & Toons Run Wild at Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi

When you enter the UAE’s Warner Bros. World, the largest indoor theme park in the MENA region, it’s easy to forget you’re still on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island. One moment, you’re enjoying the coastal luxuries of the emirate’s man-made islands, and the next, you’re watching the Green Lantern lift a taxi with nothing but the sheer power of will and a piece of viridian jewellery from space. Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Abu Dhabi anymore - we’re in Metropolis.

The DC superhero universe is real here, or as real as it can get without the threat of world domination by Lex Luthor, anyway. You can visit the Hall of Justice to admire the grand atrium of heroes, indulge in your inner sugar gremlin at Harley Quinn’s candy store, and learn a thing or two about how to use (and perhaps abuse) your powers at Teen Titans academy, before stepping into The Joker Funhouse - a labyrinth of creatively rooms that present torment in surprisingly entertaining ways.Once you’re done with Metropolis and find your way through Gotham, with its dark alleyways and high rise towers of Wayne Industries, things start to get loony. Like, Looney Tunes loony. Ever wanted to sample a lemon cake in a Looney Tunes hairdresser-themed cafe? Well if you have even a single funny bone in your body, then you do now, doc.

Tweety’s Wild Wockets extracts every ounce of excess energy out of your little ones before you follow Scooby Doo into his ‘Museum of Mysteries’. Afterwards, you can step into a real-life human-sized suburban house that’s occupied by a Tom, a Jerry, and a whole lot of chaos. And it will be then that you realise you’ve only just scratched the surface of Warner Bros. World’s fantastical alternate reality… much to the delight of your inner child.
