  • Today we delve deep into the Dubai desert, looking at what could have been one of the most iconic instalments for Universal Studios parks. With preliminary construction completed, the project was stopped dead in its tracks after a major global shift in the economy. Join me as we take a look at what could have been one of the most influential theme parks of the Middle East.

    I’m just wondering who would want to be in a theme park in 110 degree weather in the middle of the summer while waiting one to two hours for a ride.

    My dude. You make professionally made docs look like Jersey Shore. Yeah, my references are dated. I'm old. Stay off my lawn.

    Honestly, the whole Dubai land project is just crazy.. and I’m not surprised that it failed. Also u mentioned that LEGO land Dubai also was canceled, but it wasn’t, it’s actually opened now in a place called “Dubai parks and resorts” just liked to point that out. But great video nonetheless!!

    Why would they want something so American over there? They wouldn't. That's why it never happened.

    They actually made Legoland Dubai and a Legoland waterpark

    Why does a country transform itself into basically an amusement park?

    "Dubailand" seems like it should be the name of a Dubai-themed park that is somewhere

    Eventually the Dubai bubble will burst for real, and it will be interesting to see all the "abandoned" episodes about all those massive empty skyscrapers....

  • @avrinrose5457

    In my fictional world, this project already finished and successful

    Well on a slightly lighter note I'm willing to bet when the project was cancelled, they all said "Gubai", am I right?

    I live in what remains of Dubai Land. It's sorta weird living around half-constructed abandoned buildings, almost feels like I'm living in a ghost town.

    Huh. I assumed this project was still going on. Oh well. Though it is weird seeing the iconic Universal Studios archway left abandoned somewhere.

    Once again, Bright Sun has fulfilled my bizarre hunger for amusement/theme park trivia.

    You probably won't see this; but I've been going through a tough time mentally recently, and watching your videos on Disney/Universal attractions and parks has really helped me out. (as ridiculous as that sounds). Reminds me of a simpler time in my life. Anyway, thanks for creating such great content. I've subscribed and hit that bell that button, so look forward to more in the future!

    I've been living in Dubai for the past 15 years and I drive past that gate along with empty acres of sand, always wondered what the story about it was

  • @TheMatte791

    I used to drive past the archway all the time. Always wondered why there was nothing else there apart from an outlet mall. Thanks for clearing that mystery up!
