dubaidave Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Just found these photos from a trip to Qatar in June. Nevermind, next time. And a missed credit So I had to settle with photos fom outside. Unfortunatly it was ladies day. They even have a Vekoma Boomerang! Aladdins Kingom is a fair sized theme park ...and an indoor snow hill! a few kiddie rides... With a strange go cart track in the middle It was a fairly standard arcade. can you name the coaster? They also have a FEC called Xtreme World For obvious reasons, I never found out what Funtown was. Doha City Centre has an ice rink in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Always a sign of quality when there's a boomerang at the entrance to greet you! I'm beginning to think that no one exists in Dubai from your TR's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smells_like_team_disney Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 can you name the coaster? Kennywood's former Steel Phantom, one coaster I never got to ride . Awesome photo TR, BTW. Any word on what that mound of dirt will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackskellington101 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I concur, it is the classic Steel Phantom in Kennywood. I, though, have had the luck to have ridden it before it turned into Phantom's Revenge. It was quite good, though the butterfly inversion was pretty rough. But Steel Phantom has a special place in my memories, having the incredibly funny scene of a guy with way too slicked back hair go all the way to an aerodynamic point because of the speed of the ride. It took all of my fiber not to laugh at the dude. Stuart "Love the TR!" Newsom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddymonster Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Well, after a very clever disguise and some effeminate mannerisms I DID manage to get into Funtown and let me tell you something...'twas muy overrated. Don't waste your time. In all seriousness, I think it's sweet that you posted a TR in a region that is not usually covered. Do you have family in Qatar? Someone managed to snap a shot of me posing for my day pass. Don't I look fierce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I live in Dubai and had to go to Qatar on business for a few days so couldnt resist taking a side trip to see the coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
