Angry Birds World opens in Qatar

The first Angry Birds World theme park in the world has opened in Qatar.

The 17,000 sq.m park comprises an indoor space of 6,500 sq.m and is located in the Doha Festival City fashion, dining and entertainment area.

Inspired by the popular digital game, the park offers its visitors a heart-pounding experience.

Attractions include the Blast Bomb – a drop and twist tower that features free-fall motion from a height of 11 metres – and Red Alert where visitors are hurled into a 360-degree spin.

Big Tree offers families a fun entertainment experience encompassing science, music and art while Own the Sky is a 106-metre zip line and Fierce Flight is a ropes course challenge.

Angry Birds World is one of the four major entertainment parks due to open at Doha Festival City.

Others include Snow Dunes, the country’s first indoor snow park, digital gaming and entertainment hub Virtuocity and children’s zone Juniverse.

Simo Hämäläinen, senior vice president, brand licensing at Angry Birds creator Rovio Entertainment, 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 [its] 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.”
