Surprised that this hasn't been created. So, i'll start this up.

Six Flags has released its first official look at the upcoming Dubai park; opening in 2019.

Theme Park Insider has a great article showing of whats going on.

Here's your first look at Six Flags Dubai

Thoughts on SFD?

I mean.. it looks like a decent roster of attractions for a Six Flags park. But I don't see this measuring up to the local competition.

I'm just slightly shocked that SF is actually BUILDING a park. They haven't done that since the 70's if i'm correct.

But Six Flags isn't actually building it, they are just licensing the name and consulting for it. Someone else is doing the actual building and running.

More than they could AFFORD to do after being $2 billion in debt from upgrading and "Flagging" a bunch of parks. They spent millions trying to make silk purses out of sows' ears and sometimes it paid off (SFNE) and sometimes not (Elitch Gardens, Darrien Lake, Worlds of Adventure, the whole European Parks division).

The only way I ever see hitting up these parks is booking a 3 or 4 days layover over there for an African Safari trip. Love to base a trip out of the new Atlantis and hit all the new parks. For some reason, i'm really interested in the indoors WB Park and see how they do with the IP compared to Six Flags.

I may hit up these parks next year when I head out there for work.

(About the only thing that excites me about going to Dubai.)

I figure it might be worth an alternate spring break location but that a hell of a flight of flight. For me, it would be out of Dallas on Emirates or Eithad, both great to fly.

There's word today that the Six Flags in Dubai will be building the "world's biggest coaster" Six Flags Dubai to have world's biggest roller coaster

Not sure whether that is height, length or what. Anyone have Wall Street Journal access fro the article this story was based on?

The WSJ article also says the "world's biggest coaster."

Maybe designed for "plus size" riders and sponsored by Lane Bryant?

I'm looking forward to Motiongate opening so we can *hopefully* see footage of that Ghostbusters ride.
