Re: the video
I think the presenter has his information wrong - this wont be the world's largest theme park. Maybe he is counting all three as one but the ticketing information I've seen seems to indicate three separate parks.
Lego - standard, it will be a fun park.
MotionGate could be interesting - would like to see how it all comes together. Hoping for some excellent Disney/Uni quality sculpt work and lush, heavily detailed environments.
Bollywood - least interested in personally but would like to see how it all translates. A little surprised there is no coaster and hope it isn't all motion simulators.
Considering the environment and weather - I'd hopefully check out the parks in the first 3-4 months of opening before the location's natural climate starts to eat away at it.
The buildings are only one part of the equation to complete. A significant effort is required to complete the landscaping and paving. This requires integration of electrical power systems, low voltage such as AV, irrigation, lighting, graphics, signage and way finding. This part is generally at the limit. Ticketing and entrance systems can also cause a blip and not to mention the occupancy permit.
But the management team are experienced and one can expect that these home stretch activities are carefully integrated in the project time frame.
This video was posted February 9. Is this February footage? How will they open in October?
An interesting look at how the parks are being built and the people on the project.

Having Dubailand on one's CV is meaningless since Dubailand was a huge bust.
Here's hoping these three parks turn out great. Dubai really needs some world-class theme parks to make itself a multi-day tourism destination.
Hahaha what a funny guy you are. Explaining basic maths?? Who the hell u are? I feel u are just a hater who doesn't want Dubai to be prosperous and is living in LaLa Land.
Dubai Parks and Resort on schedule for October opening

Absolutely not true.Most of the decision makers on the project have little to no theme park or build experience.
Management team:
1. Raed Al Nuaimi -- Dubailand
2. Paul La France -- Disney, Universal, Samsung
3. Matthew Priddy -- Disney (20 years), Hill Intl
4. Vinit Shah -- Dubai Properties
That should be sufficient.

Who made the statement above?
I was in the room with most of these decision makers. When you have to explain basic math concepts it's very worrisome about their capability levels and actual industry experience.I cant address 1,2,3 but item No. 4 is absolutely incorrect. More research should be done before making statements like this
