MIDDLE EAST

The doors are open , the heat is on

Walking around such a huge park in the middle of the Dubai desert , the searing heat is something that you are all too aware of . During the winter month ’ s this does not present such a problem , but as we approach the summer season , with average temperatures of around 41 degrees C , the staggered opening hours will be something that will only continue to be experimented with further .
Much like the benefits of subsequent opening of the overall park , this will allow Machamer to get things right .
With the summer heat intensifying , DPR has the DreamWorks Zone . This enormous indoor facility , which can fit five A380 aeroplanes inside the entire building from wing to wing , is home to major DreamWorks IP ’ s including Shrek , Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar , and How To Train Your Dragon .
