Having had our fill of narrow mountain passes, we hopped over the next attraction. Outrun 2 was a nice, relaxing change of pace after the spinning and drifting of the previous two rides. Like Initial D, each player gets their own car. Thankfully, Outrun&🌌rsquo;s vehicles were designed to mimic the feel of driving on various kinds of terrain, not high-speed, high-skill driving. No matter what surface we were ꧒on – asphalt, gravel, grass – the vibrations of the car made it feel like we were actually there.
No theme park would be complete without carnival games, and Sega Republic has a fair selection. From water gun games to prizes, the park has all the standard trap🏅pings you’d expect: Ticket games, prize exchanges, UFO catchers; you name it, it’s there.
Dominating the first floor is the massive Spingear. Billed as an evil contraption built by Dr. 🐈Eggman himself, the ride is an indoor roller coast🌜er with spinning seats.
So far, we’ve o🥃nly covered one floor of the two-floor park. The second floꦅor is taken up by a indoor half-game, half-ride snowboarding simulator, Halfpipe Canyon. This ride throws passengers up a 22-foot incline at 25 miles an hour. The goal is to do a full 360 at the lip of the halfpipe. The bigger the spin, the higher the score.
In addition to these rides and attractions, there are a ton of standard arcade games for visitors to try. Special editions of ꧅House of the Dead 4, Se😼ga Rally and Guitar Hero sit alongside Virtual Tennis and Virtua Fighter cabinets.

The park is a gamer’s paradise and on our list of must-sees for Dubai – a city that, shou🌸ld you ever happen to visit, already has plenty of them.
