According to a press release, Lionsgate is partnering with Dubai Parks and Resorts to bring a Lionsgate zone - including The Hunger Games attractions -  to Motiongate Dubai, a Hollywood-themed park opening in Dubai in October 2016.

The Lionsgate zone will feature state-of-the-art theme park attractions and a retail facility inspired by Lionsgate's global blockbusterThe Hunger Games franchise.  It will also incorporate a live stage show based on Step Up: All In and Step Up: Revolution, the two most recent films in the Company's worldwide Step Up franchise.

"Our franchises are continuing to drive location-based entertainment opportunities around the world," said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer. "We're proud to partner with the team at Dubai Parks and Resorts to create a thrilling total entertainment experience designed to attract millions of new fans and continue the global expansion of our brands."

What do you think tributes? Is it totally cool or too Capitol for comfort? Remember when The Capitol turned the old arenas into tourist attractions in The Hunger Games? It's creeping us out a little bit.
