Visitors will be able to wander around recreation of Katniss Everdeen’s neighbourhood, complete with downtrodden inhabitants and rundown buildings – with more tie-ins planned for China and the US
The Hunger Games, the franchise based on a televised battle to the death between children, will be the inspiration for a string of attractions at a new chain of theme parks to be licensed by film studio Lionsgate, according to the New York Times.
The first Hunger Games ride, part of the Motiongate theme park in Dubai, will allow fans of the dystopian blockbusters to wander through a recreation of Hunger Games hero Katniss Everdeen’s neighbourhood, the impoverished mining region District 12. Guests will be greeted by actors dressed as District 12’s downtrodden inhabitants and get the chance to visit locations such as the Hob black market and Peeta Mellark’s bakery, shown in the first film as a rundown shack with a leaky roof and resident pig. Other rides will include a “lavish” rollercoaster, built to imitate the train in which Katniss and Peeta make the journey to the Capitol and their meeting with almost certain death.
