Al Ahli to build 20th Century Fox theme park in Dubai

The first will be a 4 million square feet property in Dubai containing attractions based on Fox products such as The Simpsons, Ice Age, Night at the Museum, Planet of the Apes and Titanic.

It will be built on the site of Al Ahli Holding’s existing Dubai Outlet Mall, adjacent to Dubai Holding’s proposed Universal Studios Dubailand project. Mohammed Khammas, the chief executive of Al Ahli Holding, said the park would appeal “to different age groups from as young as four years old to as old as 60 and above”.

Here's the only 'park' that ever opened in Dubailand:

Is City of Arabia/IMG Worlds of Adventure actually an official Dubailand project? IMG is on the territory of the latter... or has the Dubailand brand been entirely abandoned when Tatweer went bust?

So what's the future for this project?

Thanks to The Theme Park Guy for the Dubailand movie.

Now The Tiger Woods Dubai has been renamed as "The Trump World Golf Club, Dubai"

Good news. But I believe the theme parks won't be revived apart from IMG Worlds of Adventure? That half-built Universal Studios park in the desert is such an embarrassment, why not continue on that?
