Carnaval
As ever, culinary delights and the world’s rarest flavours and dishes are available across the park. We have over 200 F&B outlets including 23 restaurants and cafes and the largest street food offering in the region including unique concepts such as Chaat Bazaar, the floating market and the brand new Fiesta street. This season, new offerings from Syria, Georgia and authentic Emirati cuisine are proving particularly popular. For our Silver Jubilee, we welcomed Russia and
Cambodia to our 26 thriving pavilions with over 3,500 retail outlets representing 78 cultures from around the world.
Kids theatre
Thrill seekers love Athens Slingshot, which catapults guests 95m in the air, the Global Burj, an 80m drop tower freefall experience and Shang High, one of the tallest rides in the region. Wheel of the World, with its amazing views of the park, is a family favourite and of course the ever- popular London Loop is still a big draw for our growing guests. The Transylvania Towers suspended dark ride and our Haunted house are always popular here in Dubai, where everyone loves the horror genre. New experiences such as Big Top Inflatables and Double Agent laser maze are also proving successful. Carnaval at Global Village is, of course, renowned for its skills games with incredible prizes such as iPhone 12 and the new PS5 flying out of the doors this year, but our ever popular giant banana plush remains the most coveted prize of all.
New attractions are added to Carnaval every season and bringing these together with long-time favourites is one of the reasons for its ever-growing fanbase. The area is currently home to over 30 exhilarating kids, family and thrill rides, as well as dozens of skill games and more than 100 arcade games. One of the latest attractions to grace the Carnaval is “Manila Mayhem”, the Italian made, reverse time thrill ride, which hovers seven metres above ground with a 360-degree rotation at 20 revolutions per minute. New addition Big Top Inflatables houses three attractions: Meltdown and Rodeo Bull for tweens, teens and adults, whilst Jungle Land is an inflatable paradise for the little ones. Theming enhancements have been made to the kids and family
46
zone too and Carnaval has seen a marked increase in family guest numbers.
The Carnaval team are very data driven. They do their homework to understand which rides and attractions are needed, they then research renowned ride manufacturers and amusement park vendors that are qualified to provide the required attractions with EN13814 industry standards. Then the collaborative journey begins, as the prospective partner visits Dubai to better understand our environment. Finally the teams discuss commercials and then design the experience which will then become a part of the carefully crafted Carnaval funfair experience. Global Village works closely with Carnaval to support in unearthing new and exciting concepts to introduce to the Carnaval offering. At Global Village our partners are really part of
the team and the unforgettable moments our guests experience would not be possible without their dedication. We work with people and companies who share our deep-rooted values, our drive for excellence and our passion for putting smiles on our guests’ faces.
Carnaval at Global Village is drenched in the nostalgia of the yesteryear funfairs, whilst managing to stay relevant for younger generations. Global Village is a family destination which strives
to offer authenticity and simplicity and Carnaval is a cornerstone of that offering. The team at Carnaval take Global Village’s undertaking to bring the wonders of the world to Dubai very seriously so they scour the world for the new and the fun. Carnaval is all about the incredible atmosphere and fun family experiences they create every day of the season.
Carnaval at Global Village is definitely one chapter of a much bigger story. Beyond the funfair, Carnaval is an experience provider, a one-stop shop providing entertainment, rides, character shows and more to the broader industry. The creative, talented and experienced team at Carnaval are in the planning phases of the next chapter. They are in early discussions with major players across the region to expand operations, so watch this space for updates…
