thepoint4life23 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I have heard the rules have loosen a little for tourist, but i know tattoos and clothing choice, female rights and other types of rights are basically a no go. That knocks out a chunk of the community. Just not sure how busy this place ever will get people will go when it first opens but long term success will be interesting to see. Part of me also thinks that Falcons flight will actually never open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up any trip reports to Dubai Parks & Resorts. These parks are mostly for the middle east billionaires to burn through mountains of cash so they don't have to pay taxes. As I'm writing this I'm realizing I have zero room to talk because I have no clue if any of these parks have seen significant crowds or not. I'm just under the impression that they're ghost towns. Edit - All that to say, if I see Falcon's Flight is actually operating reliably, I'm looking into flights. With the way things are going it's not like I'm caring about my retirement account anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Money is just drilled out of the ground each day so its never a point of running out at this point. They just keep spending money on things that on the outside make no sense like starting Liv Golf. I wonder what the attendance to the new Sea world Robb went to a few months back or the Ferrari world is yearly or monthly. As massive as this park is Saudi Arabia and Dubai are low on countries I want to visit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad, there are so many people in the world that need help. The place looks incredible, but it's too bad about the labor treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 In fairness, I made a straight forward post about the physical capability of visiting this park and it spiraled into a social justice thread from hell... I do think this roller coaster will open and I think it will attract a lot of worldwide visitors. It's always good to have another record breaking coaster in the world. I'm looking forward to eventual videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Arabia is the real deal and unless they get a LOT more lenient many of us will have trouble visiting there. I agree though, it's their country and people should support or hurt them with their money as that's what this all boils down for. And if you're a real credit person and you don't want to support them, try to go for as cheap as possible! Or make a donation to a womens or gay rights association to offset your trip. There are good karma options out there! I'd be interested to visit Saudi Arabia as it's a very strange country but has some amazing sites (not including the theme parks) but as a woman, of course many of their policies hurt and offend me. I wonder if it's possible to "day trip" the park, fly in early from Europe, fly out late don't even stay there. Not that I'd probably be able to. I heard they were going to try to allow alcohol at the resort, wonder how that's going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 That sounds like a tremendous headache and not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Not worth all that money (+ Time) to get there, etc. IMhO Edited April 22 by Nrthwnd Had to add '(+ Time)' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Word. I don't care what they think of my values; it's personally not worth the trouble of getting there for one roller coaster. Knowing my luck, it would be closed due to rain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Looks like it would take about 3 hours round trip to get to and from the Park. So That is gonna take a chunk of your day. I mean im sure its possible but seems like a lot of planning and hoping all goes well. I mean i was thinking about doing something like this for Great America. Fly in from Ohio rent a car drive then fly back home at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly in from Ohio rent a car drive then fly back home at the end of the day. That's an awful lot of effort for Great America. Remember, it's still very much a Six Flags park, operations and all the other "perks" you'd expect. Add it to a road trip, sure, but don't waste the time and money for a single day. Save that for somewhere worth it. Goliath and Maxx Force aren't worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Just trying to knock some of the parks left around me. The two bigger ones would be Six Flags Great America and Six flags great Adventure. Zach had a review I think Zach had a trip report from last year that kind of made me not as interested in going and spend a lot of money to get to the park. Back on Topic Vekoma posted a video of Iron Rattler testing. Sure does look like a massive ride. With some solid theming on the tower. As Cedar points just looks like an Oil rig in the middle of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will puff my chest out a little and walk hard, but inside im a little B. Not sure if being bigger then most of them would help or make me a easier target.

prozach626 Posted Tuesday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:38 PM Easier target. They know if you hit them you go to jail and have something to lose. If they hit you, they get paperwork, released on scene to a guardian, and court date for 90 day probation. I'm not big, but I'm fit, and a lot bigger than they were. It doesn't matter. They wouldn't do it to someone who looks like they have nothing to lose. It was a pleasant day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
