    This can’t be a real park. How would you even get to the waterslides, what stair system would work with this?

      it’s real and if it didn’t already look dystopian enough, everything is oil themed for some fucking reason.

      I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn’t finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.

        Bonkers. I guess if you can dream it you can build it.Still this really is a waste of resources.

        Looks like someone had to skip a shopping vacation. Oh well…

        Announced: 04 Oct 2017; Construction Start: 04 May 2019. Timeline matches then I think.

        260 Qatari Riyal = 72 USD. Imagine what it’d cost if the victims’ families were properly compensated:

        Also a comment from March on Theme Park Investigator:

        The park will never fully open, since the main contractor did not pay the suppliers. All are refusing to return to finish their works. It’s a shame as it would have been an amazing park.

        Then there are photos from May alleging various rides are not open.
