Dubai loves big, bigger and biggest. The emirate in the Middle East already has the tallest building in the world, the most expensive hotel in the world, the largest indoor amusement park in the world and the world’s largest indoor virtual reality park. The VR Park can be found on the 2nd floor of the largest mall in the world, the Dubai Mall.
The park combines augmented reality (AR) with virtual reality (VR). This in combination with attractions and roller coasters you get the ultimate experience with the VR glasses. To make the attractions as lifelike as possible, they did everything they can.
