Universal Studios Dubailand

Universal Studios Dubailand is a theme park located in the Dubailand mega-resort. The park opened in 2015 after a long and lengthy development.

History
The park was first announced to be apart of the Dubailand Project in 2008, with an opening date of 2012, along with Phase 1 of the resort.

The park was pushed back to 2014 after the Economic Recession of 2008.

The park was pushed back again due to a rights battle with Disney, as the park was going to contain The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman ride. The agreement was settled, with Disney not being able to use pre-MCU characters and movies.

The park opened after a lengthy 7-year development and construction in 2015.

The parks first expansion was in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2017.

The park has kept getting expansions ever since, and has become one of the most popular Dubailand parks.
