A view over Antic's Land from the Monorail

Antic's Land is an example of the FECs (Family Entertainment Centres) common in Malls throughout the UAE. While not large, Antic's Land is nicely themed and has a variety of well presented rides.

The main draw for rollercoaster enthusiasts will be the park's Thunder Mountain coaster, a mine train which travels through the inside of a mock cave for most of its circuit.

The park's monorail trains are highly decorated and look fantastic. The ride weaves its way above the FEC, giving some good views over the park at various points. At other times it travels through themed indoor/tunnel sections - lookout for a rather Disney-fied Aladdin at one point near the beginning.

Impossible to miss is the large pirate ship out near the front of the park. Visitors can go onboard the ship, and witness a hidden gem - live fish swimming where the top deck should be above their heads!

Antic's Land shows how much can be done with a Shopping Mall FEC with limited space - there are plenty of rides to keep kids happy, and the park's scenery and theming are very well executed.
