I would rather wait and anticipate a better project from the other theme parks coming up in UAE.The construction of IMG adventure is one BIG adventure which will take ages to complete!
This saga of endless promise is entertainment in itself!
Let's take a close look at past opening date announcements for IMG Worlds of Adventure:

He said IMG Worlds of Adventure would open in “early 2014”, which is later than previous announcements had indicated.

The story shall continue...
IMG Theme park is an interesting project of high anticipation with plenty of delays to the opening dates. The opening dates will keep extending forever until they construct this properly in good quality. Using Chinese people to construct for an anticipated project will not seem a good reputation/quality trying to lower the cost of the project. I'm not sure who the architects are but there is an inexperienced local architectural firm that is horribly used for this project with again low pay which again causes a lot of delay.

Any picture? Any news? Who can provide(take) some photos from IMG World of Adventure??
The park is not dead, it just takes a hell of a lot longer to build it, than initially envisioned...
