Riyadh Season is back, and bigger and better than ever – so much so, it has a whole new zone: Riyadh Imagination Park. Packed with fast cars, live shows and movie-themed fun, it promises to be one of the festival’s hottest tickets. Here’s everything you need to know about Riyadh Imagination Park 2022…
What’s the vibe at Riyadh Imagination Park?
The star of the zone is Riyadh Car Show, the Middle East’s biggest automotive event – complete with jaw-dropping high-performance shows, live supercar auctions, gleaming vintage vehicle displays and a VIP section.
On the viewing track, you’ll see over US$300 million worth of supercars and classics being put through their paces – such as the Lamborghini Diablo and Ferrari 250 GTO. Expect smoking tyres, roaring engines and major car envy! And at the Manufacturers Zone, you can get up-close with vehicles made by the world’s best-loved brands: from Ford and Bugatti, to gleaming Pagani hypercars.
And that’s not all… Film buffs, you’ll love the zone’s four interactive experiences, packed with memorabilia, soundtrack concerts and live-action characters from the top movies and series – including Netflix’s most popular shows.
I’m a big movie fan – what else can I see?
Riyadh Imagination Park brings your favourite shows, films and series to life, featuring everything from immersive VR games to exclusive memorabilia displays – filled with original costumes, props and special effects wizardry. The kids can ‘meet’ their movie heroes in the daily shows and parades, while you step into a fantasy world of iconic models, scenery and artwork. Guaranteed to light up your Instagram!
