Getting IMG Worlds of Adventure Tickets
You can purchase tickets for IMG Dubai online in advance or at the venue itself. There are several booths located at the entrance of IMG Dubai for you to purchase tickets to the park.
If you wish to purchase discount IMG Dubai tickets, you can do so with Headout, a trusted online marketplace. Headout regularly offers exclusive discounted IMG Dubai tickets at up to 15% off the regular price.
You can also purchase discounted tickets to other top attractions and theme parks in Dubai via Headout.
General Admission or Fast Track Passes – Deciding Which Ticket to Purchase
Each ticket type, whether it is a general pass or one with fast track entry, will give you access to all the rides and attractions at IMG Dubai. However, the main perk of going for a ticket with a fast track entry is the ability to skip the long queues at the rides and head straight into the action without a wait.
There are two types of fast track passes to IMG World:
1. The unlimited fast track ticket allows you unlimited skip-the-line access to all the rides and attractions at IMG Worlds of Adventure.
2. A Headout exclusive 3-shot fast track pass allows you to get skip-the-line access to 3 rides of your choice. Not as expensive as unlimited fast track passes, this pass allows you to save money as well as enjoy quick access to 3 rides that you choose to.
So when should you splurge for the fast-pass tickets? During the week, you can generally get about just fine with a general admission ticket, as the park is not that crowded so lines won’t be long at all. On the weekends, however, the park can get extremely busy. To make the most of your time at IMG Dubai, spending a little extra money will pay off in the time you save. If you go for the 3-shot fast track pass, it’s best to save your fast-pass for the most popular rides, such as Thor Thunder Spin, The Velociraptor and The Haunted Hotel.

IMG Worlds of Adventure Reviews
- THE GOOD
- THE BAD
There isn’t anything bad about the park in fairness. However, if one were to be picky, IMG Dubai is a little difficult to reach via public transportation. The nearest Metro station is a 20-minutes drive away.
Also, if you’re facing the weekend crowd with a general pass and no fast track access, you may spend more time in the queue than you’d like.
A must visit for all the Marvel fans, weather it is a kid or a grown up. Anyone who has been a Marvel fan must visit the place many thrilling rides, good haunted place for a bit scare or has place for young ones as well. Every age segment can have good time here. Has lots of restaurants and cuisine to select. Can spend the whole day for a memorable experience.
This was my second trip and my visitors were really impressed. I managed to go into the Forbidden Territory which had been closed on my first visit and it was very worthwhile, very well done. The rollercoasters are really good and so is the Marvel Ultron simulator.
There were only a few restaurants open as it was Ramadan, but these were very full so I think opening one more could be a good idea. The park was really quiet and you didn’t have to worry about your child running ahead as they were always visible. It started getting busy when we left at about 6.15pm. By this time we had been there 5 hours and honestly could probably have stayed longer, but we had plans.
It was a little warm inside, not unbearably so, but you don’t need to dress for the cinema or ski Dubai that’s for sure! I will definitely be back again. It’s quite pricey, but if you get a deal it’s well worth it!
