Overview

  • The Abu Dhabi Transport Company detailed Tram Line 4 to connect Zayed International Airport’s Terminal A with Yas Island attractions, including the upcoming Disney project.
  • Planners estimate an hourly capacity of about 6,600 riders, with trams scheduled to run every five minutes.
  • Work on the tram is expected to begin next year, with completion targeted by 2030, which has not been confirmed as an opening date for the park.
  • A published route map suggests a potential north Yas Island site for the park, though Disney and developer Miral have not confirmed the exact location.
  • Miral will fund and operate the resort under license as Disney supplies creative design and IP, adding to Yas Island’s existing Warner Bros. World, Ferrari World, and SeaWorld.
