Dubai Land
Official information about Dubai Land is thin on the ground, there are still plenty of record breaking facts and statistics to be found on the troubled development.
Understood to be twice the size of the entire Disney World resort in Florida, Dubai Land is designed on a 278 km2 plot comprising a string of mega projects and sub projects, including City of Arabia, Falcon City of Wonders and Mall of Arabia; all of which feature their own collection of ridiculous, weird, wonderful and world record breaking attractions.
In the early days a number of global leisure and entertainment power houses also put their names to the development, including Six Flags, Dreamworks, Merlin and, of course, Marvel who will now go ahead with their comic superhero theme d park, due for completion “by the end of 2013”.
Planning was also granted for Great Dubai Wheel, a big wheel even bigger than the London Eye at 185 metres tall, but this element is also now on hold.
