Dubai really amazes me! I mean the hotels are just staggering and the water parks are awesome! I like the idea of a rapids ride on a lazy river. but it makes it less relaxing like the typhoon lagoon lazy river. I'm not too old and I like a little relaxation once in a while (but i hate sunbathing. Floating on water is the thing for me)

^^ Ah, ok, then it was more my fault and I missunderstood what you did tell. Then I would agree in your opinion.

You can have this option there, too. Look at the Park Map, the inner round of the River is only for relaxing, like at Typhoon Lagoon without Rapids.

I won´t swear, but I guess with TPR it would be the same price (if we do more than Abu Dhabi and Dubai) or less than Europe. Especially your private extra costs would be much cheaper in the VAE than in Europe!
