Universal is looking for an Art Director for USS, which will be situated in Orlando until 2027 and then relocated to Singapore until 2029.
Is this aligning with any projects we know about? Super Nintendo World?

During my last visit to YAS Island (early February 2024) I noticed some construction equipment onsite.
From what I could see from within a taxi passing by, they appeared to already have dug out some ground.

Unfortunately, my time budget on YAS was very limited this time, so I had no opportunity to go back to and get a better look at the site.
These are the only two images showing what I saw.

Here are some photos of the coaster and area of the coaster.
Visually not much has changed since November, however I was told that the spinning coaster is testing daily, before the park opens.

These might be the trains for the Vekoma tilt coaster. The general theme would fit.

Video of the soft opening, posted by Qetaifan Projects.

I have used quite a few clips in this video about Meryals Icon Tower (I hope this isn't against any board rules).

Feel free to simply mute the audio (german). There are some basic English subtitles providing context.

Photos of the Intamin roller coaster (not operating).

It was a very long day and I don't want to let you wait for much longer.
Here are some photos from within Icon Tower as well as some Ride Info Signs.

For those who are wondering. Many attractions were closed or only temporary open. Among the mayor closed ones were the Intamin roller coaster, Wildcats Well, the Fule Ride(?) and many smaller attractions.
Icon Tower, however, was "fully" operational. - As operational as you are when there are less than 50 visitors in a park.
















There is more material to sort through, including some video clips. I will keep you posted.
Cheers!

Thought I share some photos from today. According to staff the first day where the park is open to the public.















I will have more media later today but are they still interesting to this board now where it is officially open to the public?

Some more photos of The Storm Coaster at Dubai Hills Mall.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get the permit for a POV or photos from inside the doom building in time.
All photos were taken from publicly accessible areas and after a short chat with the on-site security.











In the source, you will also find my review of the ride, in case anyone is interested in how it rides.

I used my last visit to the UAE to take some photos of the INTAMIN coaster at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.

There are no new developments to report, however some might enjoy some clean shots of the roller coaster.

I am uncertain if it is just the perspective of the photo. However, the second photo shows two spines coming very close to each other. I can already hear them making a sound when a train passes over.
