I really hope so, but there's a chance it won't since Disneyland Abu Dhabi will be happening. It could be its own park, but for now we can only speculate.

Please note nothing confirmed, this is a highly anticipated theme park currently either canceled or on hold, hoping they would continue with the construction works.

Hmm, very interesting. Maybe the site is being repurposed? It seems like they’ve added green pillars to the entrance too. Would be cool if someone had any info.

Currently, the Universal Studios entrance promotes a police swat competition.

DPaR has yet to open a 5th theme park there and Six Flags Dubai was cancelled 2019. We have yet to find out which theme park will open there.

To be clear, this never was the entrance to the actual park, but just the temporary gate to the site office. The park's supposed location is a mile further into the desert and the berm is still intact as of today.

The abandoned, supposed entrance/archway.

Neither of that is true. Construction stopped in 2008 and the project was canceled in 2016.
