Find it quite eerie when there's so money and effort put into places with nobody there, a very liminal space type strangeness. Hope this is a success and doesn't end up as a creepy abandoned theme park in the future

I worked at a Six Flags almost 10 years ago, and I would regularly work until the park closes. There's something very unsettling about walking through the park to my car (which was on the other side of the park) at night, hearing no music and seeing no one there. You would think you would get used to something like that after a while, but I never did.

So I'm a theme park management major - a lot of theme parks in Dubai are a bit like this because they all popped up at about the same time flooding the market and making the entire Dubai theme park market a bit mediocre in the world view. They're interesting concepts, there's just too many of them.

I hope everyone is super nice to the costumed characters, the heat in those things must be inhumane. Maybe they have a cooling system, I don't know, but still, what a hard job they have.
Beautiful clean parks like this should never be this empty, it's weird, but the best time to be there.

it feels like they had too much space and didn’t make use of all of it well. at disney they design into every corner everywhere so nothing feels empty but this feels weirdly baron for how much stuff there is. I wish universal would take some queues from this theming for dreamworks stuff in universal hollywood. seems so cool!

Tim, it's Ramadan at the moment, (I work/live in Middle East, Saudi & UAE) and you will find the locals are very clued up and the locals tend to come out after their Iftar. (Evening meal), in the summer it makes more sense to come out in the dark, when its just really, really hot, rather than in the day when its far hotter than you would believe. (I've seen my phone weather app says "49C feels like 59C" ).

I do not envy the poor staff having to bear that heat in those Smurf suits

going to an empty operating theme park sounds like a dream. Must feel like Eric Cartman enjoying all the rides of his them park on his own.

Please get a GoPro for all of the POV on rides that you can't go on. This video has been amazing. The themeing of that park is incredible.

[dean]

The theming is amazing!! Like a mini set! But the rides themselves are kind of a letdown if you compared them to Disney and Universal. 😅 But I think you can really enjoy a relaxing day here since there aren't that many people. So you can enjoy all the easter eggs and details. 😁

It's empty because it's largely quite terrible... Theming is spot in but everything else is like a kiddie ride 😂

[visionfairy]

Cracking Vlog as ever Tim You're so lucky to visit a theme park without crowds. Looks amazing.

[JenniferCynthiaHair]

So I visited this theme park with family in February 2022, we cued 10 mins max for every ride, it was amazing! My daughter was able to go on rides as many times as she wanted bc there was literally no cues. This time of year is low peak for Dubai. I heard if you go in December it’s crazy

[donnap]

Great park Tim especially no queues, the dream works looked fantastic x

[MarkLeeds]

👍There is so much wrong with Dubai I wouldn't [and couldn't] go - but also the whole thing just seems to lack any character!

[beaudavies]

Thank you for the tour, it looks so good there.

[edwardlees]

It's Ramadan at the moment so that might explain the scarcity of visitors..

[angelacarter]

We were there last November, tends to be very quiet earlier in the day, but everyone was there in the evening. We loved it though.
