Here are some pics from Encounter Zone at the Wafi Mall in Dubai. As usual I will let the photos do most of the talking here. If you have any questions let me know.
They have a Crystal Maze, based on the UK TV show and a kiddie fl yer called Komet, sadly it was closed.

Ahh, yes. Much better!
The track looks like batflyer stock. Do you know who made it? Where is this place? I've been to Dubai a few times, and had no idea there was anything like that there.

I actually saw an article on that batflyer once years ago (WAY before Stealth) in some random magazine in a dentist office. Im suprised that no one has ever mentioned the first ever flyer<,<

Was this one actually before Birdmen @ Fuji-Q? That one was SBNO for a loooong time before being converted into the hamster coaster.

It was made by a company here called select contracts. here are some details from them
"We designed and built the Komet in 1997 when Encounter
Zone was built specifically for that site, it is a gravity fed sky
coaster so only has the 7ft uplift at the start and the rest is managed
by gravity. Quite an engineering feat."
