'The Street Fighter' is a thrilling new ride for adolescents and adults. 'The Sizzler', 'Over Ride', 'Tagada' and 'Dubai Bounce' are other new rides that have attracted the fancy of most visitors.
Salim Saad, one of the excited visitors on the Tagada said, "It was thrilling. I cannot get enough of these rides. The faster and the more dangerous they are the better." said Salim Saad as he came down the stairs at the end of the thrilling ride.
The children have an even bigger list of exciting rides to look out for. 'The Fire Brigade' is a new ride with little fire engines and where children can act as firemen on the rescue. Complete with a water spray, a ladder and a mock structure of a building on fire, the game is aptly located outside the Civil Defense Zone.

Most of the skill games are designed for the young and the old and provide a platform for fun and family bonding. The games have been structured to ensure that nearly everyone is a winner. However, there are a few games that are specially designed for the youngsters and are a true test of skills.
