BelizeIt Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 ^O.K. maliboomer, lets not be misleading by saying it's in Australia, when clearly it's located in Jamaica! I mean the posters name is "dubaidave", that's a colorful metaphor itself. Plus dubaidave is famous for his visit to "Fantazy Land", (which sounds similar to Alice In Wonderland), where I believe he had a very strange trip......

dubaidave Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Just found this Artist impression of Aqua Dunya. Yay 2 rollercoasters. And a ripids ride. Could this be an Aquatrax? Roller Soaker! Here the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCfanatic Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 OMG I just have to visit dubai when this project is finished! An Aquatrax, Roller Soaker and a huge park like that, this thing is going in my must-do list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCoaster Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Wow that older model looks straight out of RCT! Looks like it'll be a very cool park and I wouldn't mind seeing Dubai so maybe when I'm out of college and this is built then I can go. Anyone else think its somewhat strange that the boat/hotel has a lot of sails but paddles on the side a la a steamboat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'd hit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKULLY Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Knowing Dubai, this place will turn out looking every bit as good looking as the models and likely much better. They realise that the oil isn't going to last forever so this is their outlook on the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSLSM Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 This park continues to amaze me. The models make this look like it will blow disney away, and they will have everything you'd want at an amusement park resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hey, I just looked at the Dubailand Wikipedia page and found this disturbing image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dubailand2006.jpg#filehistory It says "self made photograph" by somebody, but if that's a real rollercoaster, then I'll just stay away from Dubailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 ^ It says: Duabiland from helicopter, SelfMade" i.e someone took it for themselves, and it hasn't been photographed by the park. Anyway, whats wrong with it? Looks like an Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yeah, okay, so it could just be the circular loop and sharp curves that turn me off. Hopefully that's just a figure/enterance adornment, since I believe they aren't so stupid to make a ride like that real... it just looks W R O N G in my eyes.

ChrisFL Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I've seen the other pics of the entire project and it's much much bigger than the pics here. I know if it's buit the way the drawing show and is done by 2018 it will be incredible. However, looking at these pics, some of it seems a bit tacky or like it actually was put together in RCT.

ECZenith Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 That is definately some kind of decoration. That coaster is physically impossible... ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yeah, that is the sales centre. Its not a real coaster just made to look good. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20749&highlight=dubailand will try and get up there soon and get some newer pics. You can check out my website www.dxbtp.5u for more info but I havent updated it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Wow, didn't see that topic Looks like track designs (not layout, but rails/ties/etc) aren't copyrighted; I want to see what a Chinese rip off of B&M looks like, that would be weird... which hopefully Dubailand won't be, by sticking to tried and true manufacturers.

rollermonkey Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm with pete4winds on this one. I've been to Dubai a few times, and I'm definitely up for a repeat visit! The 'attractions' at this complex get weirder all the time. It'll be a while before it's done, but definitely something to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I find that so strange they would put so much detail and energy into mocking up a full scale coaster. When you say sales center, do you mean the place where park-goers will buy their tickets for the park? Can't wait to see the actual park start to come up!

dubaidave Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Its the place where they are trying to entice investors to Dubailand. I went up there yesterday and took a load of new pics and will get them up here as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 ^Really looking forward to those pics Dubailand just seems so surreal. Who could have ever imagined that such a mega project would become reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
