The F1 themepark looks like it's back on in Dubai. The planned park was previously stopped due to a feasibility study showing the park was not a good investment during the financial crisis.

Dubai-based Union Properties has finalized plans to build a $163.35-M mixed-use project in Motor City, which includes a theme park, the company’s chairman, Khalid Bin Kalban, told local business website, Arabian Business.

“The land was allotted to a theme park development, but a feasibility study said the cost would overrun to as much as $544.49-M. We have now redesigned the land usage plan, with 50% of the land allotted to a theme park and the remaining 50% to a mixed-use development,” he said.

The ambitious Barka theme park to be developed by the Muscat National Development and Investment Company (Asaas) has been officially named, ‘Hayy Al Sharq (Sharq district).’

Water Park :

The water park is planned to be a world-class hybrid of both indoor and outdoor facility, with attractions ranging from family-friendly waterslides to extreme water rides.

The park will be designed in such a way that it provides segregated facilities for both men and women. This includes separate indoor and outdoor rides, beaches, and changing rooms.

Theme Park & Wildlife Attraction

The theme park is envisioned to be family-oriented and integrated with a wildlife attraction that accommodates various animal species and provides visitors with a memorable zoo experience. This concept of integration between a theme park and zoo is similar in nature to such destinations as Busch Gardens Tampa in Florida, USA.The integrated theme park & wildlife attraction will be the anchor component of the destination, as it is considered a must-have in every country that seeks to enrich its tourism products.
