Ain Dubai Reopens After Nearly Three Years Closed
- Ain Dubai opened on Bluewaters Island in October 2021, standing 250 metres tall and able to carry 1,750 riders across 48 cabins at once.
- The wheel closed only months later in March 2022 for what operators called brief "periodic enhancements."
- Repeated pushed-back reopening dates stretched the closure from weeks into years, fueling speculation about a structural or mechanical problem.
- The attraction finally welcomed riders again in a soft launch followed by a public reopening at the end of December 2024.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
