=Dubailand=

Have you ever been to Disneyworld? Fun right? Well now think of 100 times more fun then Disneyworld. Welcome to Dubailand. Theme Parks, shopping, anything you can imagine. To good to be true? Well almost. Hugest project in the world. Will it work out?

=Q. IS DUBAILAND WORTH IT?= A. Dubailand is huge and very expensive. Which lead people to wonder is it really worth it? Tons of money go into huge attractions like dubailand and end up failing in the long run. Not enough people visit, or it’s too expensive for today’s economy. This project is the biggest and most ambitious building project in the world. (Information) Meaning this thing can be one of the biggest mistakes in the world. It’s supposed to be one of the world biggest tourist attractions. If thing do not work out for Dubailand it could be stuck drastically in debt.

Q. HOW ARE THEY PAYING FOR IT?
A. Building such a huge project cost such a huge amount of money. You would think funds and savings would go into such a huge development but in reality we don’t think ahead. Creators and leaders of Dubailand are going by the "build it and they will come" maxim. (Jaafar) Now Dubailand, like Dubai as a whole, is paying the price for its blue-sky thinking. (Jaafar) We can’t spend money that isn’t there, but we sure are trying to anyways. This project has spent so much money that we are eating our way beyond debt. Once fully operational, the projected population of DUBAILAND is 2.5 million people. (Information) Meaning some money flow for normal day things. Such as utility bills and other consumer needs of any common neighborhood. This should contribute to paying back the debt.

=Q. WHAT WILL IT CONSIST OF?= A. DUBAILAND has 7 themes (Worlds): Theme parks, culture & art, science & planetariums, sports & sports academies, wellbeing & health, shopping & retail and resorts & hotels and in total consists of 45 mega projects. (Information) Dubailand is supposed to be way huger then Disneyland and Disneyworld and not just contain theme parks and stores. The diverse projects under DUBAILAND include theme parks, eco-tourism projects, shopping malls, restaurants and residential units that are being developed by UAE, GCC and international investors. (Information)Dh235 billion cluster of 40 mega projects including 20 theme parks. (Rahman) When Dubailand is done it will have everything you would need to live there and vacation there.
