dubaidave Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 My sister in law lives near he Dubailand site and casually asked if I had sen the new roller coaster. Of course I hightailed it up there to get some photos. Here they are. And some sort of, big man sat down and dolphins, thing. As soon as I can get closer you will get more pics. they also seem to be building some Elephants there as well. It is mighty impressive though. At least that is what I assume it is, I could no get close enough to see where the track went. Ahh, of course, its n top of the Dubailand sales centre. Its just a full scale mock up has it stalled in the loop? is that track not a bit sharp? This looks amazing, Hang On. OMG, there IS a coaster over that hill! I was reliably informed that there was a coaster sitting over this hill.
krouvi Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Nice pics. This track look too insane to be real. However I dont understandwhy they invest on this track if itisnt a real ride. Is it a new themepark ?
Canobie Fan Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 http://www.themeparkreview.net/forum/files/dl4_107.jpg WTF?! lol So its just like a big model?
ncf Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 The layout is totally unrealistic, but other that that it looks pretty realistic...
nemesis-storm Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Is it just me :shock: or does the track & train look kinda look like Arrow or Vekoma, what coaster has been scrapped recently? Perhaps they have taken parts of a scrapped coaster and made this mutant
dubaidave Posted November 29, 2005 Author Posted November 29, 2005 I have to say. It Does look like real track but a wrong layout. When I can get closer I should have more details. However I know money is no object to this project so they could have bought real track and erected it themeselves. Does anyone have any contacts in the industry that might have sold such track? As this is only the sales centyre, I think the actual park might be quite special, Getting quite excited out here now!!
lagg Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Its still nice to see something is going on at Dubialang. It looks a little hangbangish. I hope for better coasters though... but who doesnt.
dubaidave Posted December 4, 2005 Author Posted December 4, 2005 On my way out last night I managed to drive round the back. Sadly I didn't have my camera but here are a couple of shots from my phone. After the loop the track disappeared into this hole. It IS big enough to fit a train through. the other end appears to come out of the building. The mountain looks quite good as well. More to come as soon as possible. a giraffe! still dont think it is real though.
ShoubraStreet74 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 wow that track really looks messed up. There's no way it could be real, I mean, could you imagine how fast it would have to go through those turns in order to make it through the loop? it just looks like a really bad nolimits design.
AznShortBoi8021 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Nice pictures. It looks like the painful Arrow coaster to hell with twisty manuevers only a B&M train can do with minimal head banging. You just gotta wonder what the heck they're using a full scale mock up for. Is there going to be an actual functioning roller coaster?
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 How many credit whores will have claimed to have ridden it. Guy "I know I have!" Koepp
krouvi Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 What I can't understand is why a park without any coaster will invest money in buying an expensive coaster model, instead of buying a real coaster, even a little one. And when people reach this park they will look for a running coaster and will found out there isnt any coaster to ride, this should be bad for the park not to say misleading.
Ghost Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 ^ Are we not talking about a preview centre here. I remember seeing some amazing awesome artwork (I can’t find it anymore at this moment) where you could see several coasters on it… Talking about this project. Any opening dates know?
dubaidave Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 This is only the sales centre, not the actual park. Hopefully they will get some real coasters soon. I did get quite close to that mock up so can I claim it as a credit?
yogue Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 At first I was wondering if maybe they had a different relationship to the human biophysiology in Dubai (similar to their relationship to the freedom of press or religious freedom etc.), but then I realized that it would be highly unlikely that all snapshots of the coaster would be taken with the train just exiting the loop Something about it made me think "Thriller/Taz Texas Tornado/Zonga" as well. Probably the circular loop.
