Anyone have a clue what happened to the "planned" 5th gate at Dubai Parks and Resorts that was supposed to be Universal Studios Dubai? Or did they go with Six Flags (which they screwed up again)?

Here's a look at the Ghostbusters ride that was planned for Universal Studios Dubai:

Last I heard they were focusing on the Four Asian Tigers, because there is already a Universal park in Singapore through license to Resorts World. South Korea would be next, from my best guess.

Q1/2020 aerials of the abandoned site:

not much left from the good old times

Construction has stopped in 2008...
This particular project won't happen any more, but that's not to say Universal will never have a presence in Dubai.

Is Universal Studios now open or is it still under construction?

Where is the source to this?

I'd find it quite strange if it was a new park, considering motiongate is the film park of Dubai Parks and Resorts

Universal Studios is in talks with Meraas to return to Dubai as the 5th gate of Dubai Parks & Resorts:
