Doha, July 6: Amid diplomatic rifts with Arab quartet including Saudi Arab, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain, Qatar is innovatively trying to attract more foreigners and tourists to the country. Notably, the Angry Birds World, a new amusement park based on the hit game franchise which is built in Qatar, is now opened for the residents and visitors.

 

The world’s first Angry Birds World entertainment park, which is available to visitors and includes 17,000 square meters of rides and attractions. The park also includes an educational attraction, the Big Tree, intended for children to learn about science and express themselves creatively and musically.

Inspired by the popular digital game, the park offers indoor and outdoor, multi-level karting track. An impressive 261 meters long, the track is modeled after “Angry Birds GO“. The outdoor section of the park is set to open at an undisclosed later date.

For adventure junkies, the tree also houses “Own the Sky”, a 106-metre zip line that allows participants to cut through the air at rip-roaring speeds. Visitors can also test their physical strength with “Fierce Flight”, an incredible ropes course challenge.

Senior Vice President of Brand Licensing at Rovio Entertainment, Simo Hamalainen said, “Our new world-class attraction based in Qatar is another clear demonstration of the global appeal of the Angry Birds brand. Rovio’s current licensing roadmap is strongest to date, bringing great new ways for our fans to enjoy Angry Birds. The brand’s future looks bright and is being spearheaded with the theatrical release of The Angry Birds Movie 2 in September 2019.”

Angry Birds World constitutes one of the four major entertainment parks that are introduced by Trimoo and set to open at Doha Festival City, located along Al Shamal Road. Upon completion, the unique entertainment destination will be home to Snow Dunes, the country’s first indoor snow park set in an ancient Arabian village; Virtuocity, the region’s first dedicated digital gaming and entertainment hub; and Juniverse, the world's first city in space that aims to inspire and entertain children.
