When the WDW resort looks small...

[ChrisFL]

you know you're looking at something HUGE.

What do rich middle-eastern oil guys who are running out of oil do with $20 billion? Build Dubailand, what could be the biggest tourist destination in the world, made up of twice the square mileage of the entire WDW resort area (and nearly none of it will be non-developed).

4 construction phases happening, will be complete by the year 2018

It scares me that it's in Dubai, but wow does it look impressive

Wow!!!!! Makes WDW look like a towny carnival!

I've been wanting to go to Dubai on vacation for a while! I watched a travel channel special the other day. But flights are about 2,000. oooyyyy!

 

[Metro West]

That is awesome! I'd love to go..if I had a month to roam around a park!

 

[SplshMtn99]

Looking at some of the actual photos of some construction, I'm thinking HOT, DRY & SANDSTORMS.

But if I had seen WDW property before, I probably would have thought swamp.

Should be interesting to watch.

Must be nice to have a little spare cash hanging around.

I looked at the OP a little too quickly at first, and for a second I thought it said "Dubyaland".

I wonder what the rides would be like in THAT particular park?

Anyone wanna go first?!?

I swear we think the same! Maybe you're my long lost twin. I can think up a few rides but I got into enough trouble last night .

I'm embarrassed to admit that there's certainly enough residual evidence on these boards to support your theory. After all, we're both in the same business, nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean?!?

Okay, you two. You made me spit my coffee! Twins are ya? Evil twins! You make this place fun for me. Thanks and a tip of my hat to you both!

I want to go to this resort. They are making an island in the shape of a Palm Tree.

This is going next it. Islands in shape of the globe. All in Dubai.

We must be triplets because even *I* thought the same thing and had to read it 2-3 times. I just thought the OP didn't know how to spell "Dubya".

OK, now I want to go here instead!!!

 

[Charade]

I dunno, it looks kinda silly to me. "Golf World"?? "Snow World"???

Okay, that settles it! Now that there's bipartisan support for the concept, I'll stop the hijacking of this thread and give "DubyaLand" a place of it's own.

My apologies to the OP; we didn't mean to temporarily hijack your thread, but it's just too good an idea to pass up!

 

[ChrisFL]

no problem, I *didnt* think of Dubyaland when I posted it, so that was funny

Thanks! We're a total disgrace to the family. Especially Granny.
