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.

Well on a slightly lighter note I'm willing to bet when the project was cancelled, they all said "Gubai", am I right? i'll just see myself out because I was trying too hard.

louman-eightyfour I've been to Dubai in the winter when it was 65 to 70 degrees. Everybody bundled up their kids in winter coats! I had a light sweater on and everybody else had mittens and hats and coats. 120 degrees to them as like 90 to 95 degrees to us. At least it seemed that way.

"Also, it rains in the afternoon to cool things down." Actually it still humid even when it rains so that 's not saying much really :p and like I said people who lived their whole life in the middle east are probably used to the really hot weather there. You are sitting there clueless without realising that you wouldn't understand how they would not seem to mind it when you don't even live there :p.

Pikachu2Ash the temperature with the humidity with the hot sun shining down on you vs the temperature when it’s cloudy and raining are two different things. Also the theme parks in Dubai will cater to tourists not used to the insanely hot weather. Not everyone who goes to Dubai is Arab.

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!!

You should make a video on Hypermart USA, which was a series of large stores by Walmart before the typical Walmart-Supercenter came to fruition. I believe they only built four but the idea was cancelled around 1990 so it would make a good video idea for your series cancelled. The stores were gigantic, some up to 300,000 square feet I believe.

I've also seen ads for six flags which is set to open in 2019 apparently. I heard about universal studios Dubailand about 2 years ago and I did some research on it and now you've uploaded this video and I was like yesss something in the Middle East 😂😂

Great video as always. I worked out in the UAE for a few years and worked with a number of people who worked on the Dubailand project which did result in Global Village and the Outlet Mall being built but it was well known by the team working on it that funding was really in place for any of it and most admit they didn't expect it to be built. The offices were demolished because a number of Asian labourers were living there because they had become stranded, when companies go bust very low paid staff have no way to get home and visas are canceled so they become stuck and are technically homeless. The site at one point had some parts of coasters and shipping containers of items for the park delivered but they seem to have disappeared. I was told these were never paid for like many things as it often the way there even from govenment held companies who are the worst for ripping off people and companies. The Six Flags project and Lego both came back to life under another company as they had done a lot of design work for Dubailand which they weren't paid for I guess they hoped to recoup the costs. The problem with any themepark in the UAE is it will never be a commercial success as out of around 3m residents 900k are locals, 1m are Indians/Pakistani/Bangladeshi, 400k filpinos and the rest a mix of westerners and other Asians. Many just can't afford to attention the parks in the volumes needed as the Ferrari World has found out and has needed constant injection of cash to keep it running and to stop it looking like a white elephant.

Hello Jake, Long time watcher - love your vids. I am a full time hospitality student studying in Florida, and while reading one of my textbooks I came across the now defunct Wannado City, which was an interactive theme park dedicated to kids in Ft. Lauderdale. I'd love to see a video documenting this place as it is SUPER interesting to me. Thanks!

I think it's great to know why projects fail and how to avoid similar issues in the future, so I'm happy this video was made 👍 I guess I thought I would be used to it at this point, but the sheer ignorance in some of these comments is just sickening to be honest 😪

ThatAussieGirl yeah but like we don't have themed blockbuster parks with resorts and such. Also, all of the theme parks (minus sea world) in Queensland are in Coomera, right off the highway, which means it takes ages to get there.
