After a confused handshake with Shaggy, a person in costume pulling off the typical doobie-head sort of Shaggy vibe effortlessly, I leave to ride the merry-go-round. In the Scooby-Doo zone, I enter ‘the crooked house’ and chance upon a crime scene! Now that I am an adult, there is not much mystery here to be solved but I don’t care as long as it brings back nice memories of my childhood.
Every popular character developed in the Warner Brother universe can be found here.
Following the souvenir rule in my house, I expect it to sit in my showcase for eternity and never be actually used. After much consideration, I buy a Batman keychain. My colleague buys an interesting Batman cape for her son while I dawdle. With no specific shopping list in mind, I casually stroll around, checking the collections. There are many souvenir stores around the plaza. I sit on a bench in the Central Plaza and watch the humdrum go by. It keeps changing colours, from blue to purple to pink-the shades always hovering in the same quarter of the colour wheel. The sky hanging above me is just a projection. The 1.65 million square feet of the park is divided into multiple sections based on their cartoon and comic universes. In Warner Brothers theme park, I relive my childhood. A set in Warner Brothers Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi: A heady nostalgia of the cartoon world It also houses the world famous Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and the Yas Marina Circuit that every year hosts the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix-a Formula One motorcar race. The island was then developed as an entertainment island. Yas Island used to be an extension of mainland Abu Dhabi before a part of it was dredged and a canal was cut to separate it from the mainland. Midway into my trip, on the third day, just when I was thinking that it couldn’t get any more bizarre, here I am standing, beneath an artificial sky in Warner Brothers World in Yas Island of Abu Dhabi. Building a futuristic city on the fringes of a desert in a country that was formed just a few decades back is no small feat. Since coming to Abu Dhabi I have been stunned a number of times by what human ambition can achieve.
