Having been lucky enough to visit over 60 theme parks across the globe, I like to think I know a thing or two about them. Unfortunately, during my recent visit to IMG Worlds of Adventure, I found both the park and the overall experience rather underwhelming - which is a shame, as there is clearly so much potential.
On the positive side, the park is well-themed and almost entirely indoors, meaning you can visit any day of the year without worrying about the heat. I found the park clean, the staff friendly, and the queues manageable. We arrived shortly after opening, and while it stayed quiet initially, the park did get steadily busier throughout the day.
There are some high-quality rides that genuinely impressed me. Avengers: Battle of Ultron was a very good dark ride, and Spiderman: Doc Ock's Revenge is a fantastic spinning coaster that packs plenty of thrills into a short duration. Velociraptor, the parks signature roller coaster, was also a decent experience - albeit a little rough.
However, I felt the atmosphere was flat, and for the price of admission, there simply wasn’t enough to do. As an adult, I counted only about five attractions aimed at thrill-seekers, which isn't enough to fill a full day. We ended up leaving after just three hours, having already experienced everything on offer multiple times.
Logistically, the park is also difficult to reach by any means other than a car. As a tourist, this adds the extra hassle and cost of a taxi or hiring a car, as it is situated essentially in the middle of nowhere.
Ultimately, it feels like there is a lot of wasted space and untapped potential. While the park looks great, it falls short because the ride selection is limited. Because of this, I don’t feel I would return.
