Adrenaline junkies have a new item for their bucket list: the Bollywood Skyflyer.

肾上腺素瘾君子们又有一个新的项目可以纳入愿望清单了:宝莱坞空中飞人。

At 460 feet (140 meters) tall -- the same height as the Great Pyramid of Giza -- the new sky-high ride edges the previous record-holder by just 10 feet.

它有460英尺(140米)高-与吉萨大金字塔相同的高度-这个新的记录超越了前一个纪录保持者10英尺。

Unveiled last week at Bollywood Parks Dubai, it set a new world record for the tallest swing ride, knocking the 450-foot-tall Orlando Starflyer out of the top-spot.

上周在迪拜宝莱坞公园亮相,它创造了世界上最高秋千世界纪录,将450英尺高的奥兰多星际飞人(Orlando Starflyer)逐出榜首。

The Bollywood Skyflyer is made up of 421 tons of steel, took 600 days to build and a further 120 days to install, says Milton D'Souza, general manager of the popular theme park.

宝莱坞主题公园总经理米尔顿·德索扎说,宝莱坞空中飞人由421吨钢材组成,建造耗时600天,安装花了120天。

Bollywood Parks Dubai was forced to close for several months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

由于Covid-19病毒的流行,迪拜宝莱坞公园被迫关闭了几个月。

One of three theme parks that make up Dubai Parks and Resorts, Bollywood Parks Dubai reopened on January 21 with nine new rides — including the record-breaking Bollywood Skyflyer.

作为迪拜公园和度假村的三个主题公园之一,宝莱坞迪拜公园于1月21日重新开放,共有9个新游乐设施,其中包括破纪录的宝莱坞空中飞人。

The other new attractions in the Bollywood-themed park include a 180-foot (55-meter) Ferris wheel, a Mumbai-taxi-themed rollercoaster and a free-fall "rocket" drop tower, which will "bring to life the vibrant culture of India," says D'Souza.

德索扎说,宝莱坞主题公园的其他新景点还包括一个180英尺(55米)长的摩天轮、一个孟买出租车主题过山车和一个自由落体的“火箭”升降塔,给大家带来“充满活力的印度文化”。

Like many businesses, the park used the closure as an opportunity to expand and modernize its offerings.

与许多企业一样,园区也利用了前段时间的关闭作为扩大和把服务做现代化迭代的机会。

"We used the time to create and build a brand-new area in the park that we call the Mela Zone, which is home to the majority of the nine new rides at Bollywood Parks Dubai," D'Souza tells CNN.

“我们利用这段时间在迪拜宝莱坞公园创建了一个全新的区域,我们称之为梅拉区,这里是迪拜宝莱坞公园九个新游乐设施的主要所在地,”德索扎告诉CNN。

In 2019, Dubai Parks and Resorts attracted 2.6 million visitors. D'Souza hopes the "revamp" will encourage more guests to visit the park in the future as Dubai becomes more popular as a tourist destination.

2019年,迪拜公园和度假村吸引了260万游客。德索扎希望,随着迪拜作为一个越来越热的旅游目的地,这一“改造”将鼓励更多的游客前来这个公园游玩。

Bollywood Parks is set to break more records in 2021, says D'Souza. Later this year, the park plans to open the Bombay Express — the region's first and only wooden rollercoaster.

德索扎说,宝莱坞公园将在2021年打破更多的纪录。今年晚些时候,该公园计划开通孟买快车 — 该地区第一辆也是唯一一辆木制过山车。

Meanwhile, beyond Dubai Parks and Resorts, Ain Dubai is set to take the title of world's tallest Ferris wheel when it opens later in 2021 at Bluewaters Island. Standing 688 feet (210 meters) tall, Ain Dubai will steal the title from the 550-foot High Roller in Las Vegas.

与此同时,除了迪拜公园和度假村,艾因迪拜将于2021年晚些时候在蓝水岛开张,届时它将获得世界最高摩天轮的称号。艾因迪拜摩天轮身高688英尺(210米),将把550英尺高的拉斯维加斯的“豪客”摩天轮赶下擂台,勇夺桂冠。
