Coinciding with the global anticipation for the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things”, it’s the perfect opportunity to immerse oneself in the supernatural adventure at the very same moment the series captivates audiences worldwide.
Liam Findlay, CEO of Miral Destinations, said, “This partnership is yet another example of Yas Island collaborating with some of the world’s strongest entertainment brands to bring unforgettable experiences to our guests. ‘Stranger Things: The Experience’ is a superb addition to our destination; it is not just entertainment, it’s an invitation to step into one of the most defining universes of our time. We can’t wait to welcome fans into Hawkins right here on Yas Island”
Created by The Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular television series ever, with its fourth season alone amassing over 140.7M views globally. Rooted in ‘80s nostalgia, it boosted Kate Bush’s track “Running Up That Hill” into the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time in its 38-year history.
So whether you’re a die-hard fan or discovering Hawkins for the first time, expect a fully immersive, action-packed, cinematic journey filled with interactive moments, mind-blowing audiovisual effects. It’s the ultimate Stranger Things experience in Abu Dhabi – you don’t want to miss out!
