(sorry for the Title spelling... It is Dubai and not Duba.. lol)

Has anyone heard of this? I was talking with a friend the other day and we are both fascinated with Dubai and it's progress. He mentioned something that they are developing a theme park that will make Disney World look like a play ground. I have not heard anything but I will look into it.
For those of you that do not know about Dubai, I encourage you to google it. It is amazing

I've heard a few things about it but nothing really exciting (other than it size).

In their defense, Walt Disney World still isn't complete after 27 years.

Re: Amusement Park Bigger Than Disney in Dubai?

I wouldn't put too much in it. People have been trying to top Disney for years in the theme park business, and no one has succeeded yet. And this includes whoever is responsible for this theme park.

And if they ever do build it, so people will come, Dubai is not the best place to take your family. If you are ever a victim of a crime at Disney, they don't treat you like you're the criminal. The same can't be said for Dubai, as last year's news proved.
