May the odds be ever in your favour.
Holidays are usually pretty relaxing and enjoyable but if your definition of a fun holiday is fighting for your life like Katniss Everdeen did, then we've got just the place for you.
The World of the Hunger Games opened on October 20 in an area of the popular theme park, Motiongate Dubai.

The section of the theme park pays tribute to the famous book and movie franchise, including a number of specially designed rides and never-before-seen content from the films.
The World of The Hunger Games is part of the Lionsgate zone at the Hollywood-inspired theme park, according to
Variety.

It features a hovercraft simulator that takes people on a tour throughout Panem, a Capitol Bullet Train roller coaster and the Coal Miner's Clash, a show based on one of Panem's districts.
You can even stop into Peeta's bakery for a snack.

According to the publication, Liongate's chief brand officer and president of worldwide marketing, Tim Palen, said:
“We are thrilled that Lionsgate and ‘The Hunger Games’ are a part of Motiongate Dubai.
“Dubai Parks and Resorts is a fantastic partner. Together we have created an interactive experience that allows fans from around the world a chance to immerse themselves in the world that Suzanne Collins created in an authentic, fun and exciting way.”

While the park does seem like it would be fun to visit, it's slightly unsettling to see the dystopian story pitched as a fun day out for the whole family.
The whole area seems to try and shrug off a lot of the darkness from the trilogy of books, and, to be honest, we're not too sure Katniss would approve.
