jedimaster1227 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 http://www.arabianbusiness.com/abu-dhabi-chosen-as-location-for-major-theme-park-434610.html Plans have been unveiled to build a major new theme park in Abu Dhabi, with more than 25 rides on five themed islands. Adventure World Abu Dhabi will be built in partnership with Adventure World Poland which has similar plans for Warsaw. In a brief statement released on Sunday, backers said it would be one of the largest year-round theme parks in the Middle East. A total of 25 attractions will include a water park, entertainment area with restaurants, shops and clubs, super coasters, wave pools, interactive fountains, boat cruises or carousels, the statement said without giving further details. Over 100 experts in theme park construction will be involved in the development of Adventure World Abu Dhabi, the statement added. No timeline was given for when the entertainment project would be completed. Earlier this year, ambitious plans were announced for Adventure World Warsaw, which is due to open in spring 2014. Its five themed islands - on which the Abu Dhabi model will be based - have working titles of Adventure Harbour, Creature Lagoon, Castle Island, the Land of Legends and the “Polski” Plaza. The backers of Adventure World Warsaw are a consortium of private and institutional investors, who plans to invest €400m in the first phase of the development. In September, it was announced that the $165m Yas Water Park, one of the key attractions on Abu Dhabi's $40bn Yas Island, is back on schedule to to open in the fourth quarter of 2012. The water park will have an Emirati theme and will follow the adventures of a young Emirati girl in search for an exquisite pearl. The story will take guests through more than 40 rides, slides, and attractions, including a unique pearl diving show demonstrating traditional Emirati heritage.
gisco Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Think the park in Abu Dhabi will be open in time for the TPR trip next April? You would think that you would get the park in Poland open first before thinking of expanding.
australianalex Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I have much higher hopes of this park opening than Dubailand. I lived in Dubai and in 2006 they announced that it would be ready by 2010, however only the headquatures is built. I know its because of the financial crisis, but Dubai is just being stupid with all these projects theyre planning. Theyre also planning to build another Palm Island with a Busch Gardens and Seaworld park. Just stick to the one project Dubai, or you wont get anywhere.
WOFfan Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 This probably won't turn out good. It'll probably go all down hill and not turn out as well as planned. Now I suppose they could movie it to China.
dubaidave Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 ^ Thankls for your insightful comments. Is this going to be on Yas island? Dubaidave
stinker Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I took this photo when I was at the Ferrari World Friday last week. I didn't have a good camera with me so this is all I got (was there to ride, not to take pictures). The construction site is more or less where "Warner Theme Park" is indicated on the old Yas Island maps. I was pretty surprised when I saw this from one of the Ferrari Worlds ouside smoking areas. New park on Yas Island
deathbydinn Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 ^ That's a new water park being built, not Adventure World.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 ^ That's a new water park being built, not Adventure World. If that's a water park, that's amazing there are that many roller coasters there.
deathbydinn Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 There's only a Vekoma family invert, atleast that we know of. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1135089#p1135089
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 There are at least two coaster in the picture posted, take another look.
robbalvey Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 ^ That's a new water park being built, not Adventure World. If that's a water park, that's amazing there are that many roller coasters there. I only see one.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I see two lifts, or am I seeing something else? Isnt that two white lift hills?
robbalvey Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 It's the same coaster. It might very well have two lifts. A lot of those Arrow suspended did. This one is a Vekoma, though.
BDG Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) This is the layout... red = lift orange = brake Photos of every section: lift 1 to brake 1: brake 1 to lift 2: lift 2 to brake 2: brake 2 to brake 3: Edited July 16, 2012 by BDG
BeemerBoy Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 ^ Maybe I'm wrong, but that's quite possibly the most boring looking layout ever. It might as well be a monorail instead.
coasterfreak101 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 ^I'm pretty sure it's being incorporated as a water ride, though, with water fountains and the like getting you soaked. At least, that was the impression I was under.
BeemerBoy Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 ^ Okay, yeah, that does change things a bit for the better then.
coasterfreak101 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 ^I mean, hopefully I'm not lying to you. I think this is what we're looking at, basically a Vekoma family invert mixed with the Setpoint suspended water coasters. So a lame layout, but walls of water at 40mph probably doesn't feel that great anyway! http://www.vekoma.com/index.php/family-coasters/splash-party
