If you're planning a trip for this year, Dubai Parks and Resorts is noting that "enhancements of some of the attractions" will be ongoing at Motiongate for "a couple of months" after opening, although "a significant portion" of the park will premiere on the October 31 opening date. As a result, the resort is offering discounted AED240 (US$65.34) "Discovery" tickets to Motiongate during that period.
In other news from the Dubai project, Triotech — the company behind Knott's Voyage to the Iron Reef and other interactive attractions — announced that it has developed "Sholay," an interactive dark ride for the Bollywood Parks theme park in the resort. Sholay is a classic, 1970s Bollywood action-adventure film. A 2002 British Film Institute survey ranked it the best Indian film of all time. Bollywood Parks Dubai will open October 31.

I'll wait and see how everything is going in 5 years...if this succeeds, Dubai will have enough for me to justify a trip there.
