It will open on Oct 31, no doubt about it. Marketing is in full swing, reservations are open for the hotel, tickets are on sale, communication is ongoing, including interviews from leaders with no mention of a delay whatsoever.

Not really true. DPX has declared a delay for most parks already:

"Dubai Parks and Resorts, the region’s largest integrated theme park destination, announced today that it will now open on 31st October with LEGOLAND® Dubai and Riverland™ Dubai, the retail dining and entertainment district. Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, LEGOLAND® Water Park and the Lapita™ Hotel will open to the public on 15th November while MOTIONGATE™ Dubai will premiere on 16th December."

I feel lucky that I haven't booked my flight yet or I would be really angry now. Such delay notice on such a short term. While I love what Dubai is trying to built up, I definitively cannot comprehend their lack of capabilities to plan on schedule (probably that's because I'm German and delays of this type is terrible to me).

Exactly, at the minimum 1.5 months old.

Now, can we just stop with the "there is no way this will open on time" ? It will open on Oct 31, no doubt about it. Marketing is in full swing, reservations are open for the hotel, tickets are on sale, communication is ongoing, including interviews from leaders with no mention of a delay whatsoever.

Of course some of the attractions won't be ready (they already confirmed it) on opening day. But don't let the pictures fool you. They are working 24/7. Even if some work will probably continue a few months afterwards, the resort will be opened on time. Will it be perfect in every way though at that time ? Surely not.

Let's move on.

For your information, these pics recently posted are old.

There's absolutely no way this will be open in time. Structures aren't even completed. they need at least two-three more months.

Judging from the pictures, it's absolutely impossible to have the three parks open by end of next month.

I see some paving going down. It will be a race. Lots of windows etc still to install. Maybe a bigger race

The Zombieland ride has now been topped off

The river is flowing at Riverland !

I think we better wait instead of guessing, inshallah everything goes well

Looking over the fence, they have a long way to go. No way they will open all three parks in 40 days from now. Maybe one of them, if they are lucky.

There is also no way they will reach their targeted visitor numbers. PriceWaterHouse has been paid to predict 18 million visitors annually for the UAE theme parks. If you split 18 million between 7 parks, that’s 2,6 million per park. I don’t know what the current top 10 worldwide is, but for sure it would put a lot of the UAE parks in the top 25. Won't happen.
