A massive expansion is coming to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and this time, we’re going where Harry Potter fans haven’t been able to before: The Forbidden Forest.

Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi has announced three Harry Potter lands for the indoor Yas Island Park, including the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts. There will be an exclusive ride specifically for Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.

The Forbidden Forest has been represented in parts of rides or temporary experiences, but this is the first time it’s having its own land in a theme park. No rides have been revealed, but they did confirm that all three new lands will feature exclusive Harry Potter rides not found anywhere else.
