Global Village Carnaval adds five new rides, launches AED 99 unlimited access offer

Global Village has expanded its Carnaval lineup this season with five new rides and a limited-time pricing offer, giving guests unlimited access to all rides for AED 99 per day starting May 1, 2026.

The flat-rate pass, available at gate ticketing counters, at Carnaval itself, or online, comes with a wonder pass and an exclusive wristband granting full ride access. Guests who purchase online must collect their wristbands at Carnaval ticket counters. The offer is valid for one day upon redemption, with terms and conditions applying.

Among the new additions is York Bikes, which lets guests pedal their way vertically in what Global Village describes as a combination of interactive fun and adrenaline. Rio Rocket, inspired by Brazil, is positioned as the high-speed option for thrill-seekers, while Cape Gliders simulates aerial gliding with sweeping, lifting movements. Toronto Tornado brings spinning and soaring action, and Desert Dashers rounds out the five with fast-paced racing.

For younger visitors, Global Village has introduced The Little Wonderers, an indoor zone featuring multi-level obstacle courses, climbing structures, slides, tunnels, and neon theming. The space is designed to encourage open-ended play and physical activity for children.

Returning attractions include the Festive Wheel, Horror Hotel, The Dragon Kingdom, EXO Planet City, and Secrets of the Lost City. The destination now counts more than 195 rides, games, and attractions overall, alongside more than 125 arcade and skill games.

Global Village has also adjusted operating hours, with Fridays and Saturdays running from 5:00 pm to 1:00 am, and Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 pm to midnight.
