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.
Encounter Zone is on the top floor of one of the many extensions at Wafi City.
Going Up.
Encounter Zone consists of Lunar land and Galaxy Land, separated by a food court, No McDonald's here though.
The Komet was closed, the ride op said they were fazing it out because it was too old.
Here you can see the track on the roof
Not very good pic, but the track dips through the rock facade here.
You used to enter the station up these stairs.
Lunar land is for younger kids.
When it opened this was the longest indoor slide in the world, so they claimed.
The "Dip your hand in wax" was popular today.
The other side is for older children
The Tomb, is a horror walk through with live actors.
This area has lots of simulators and games.
The rest of these pics are from the crystal maze.
That's your lot for now, somewhere I have some better quality pics and will post them when I find them. Thanks for readind.
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<,<
Proud Coney Island Ride-op for 6 years! Kings Island MSD/Racer crew of 2011 Kings Island Vortex/Windseeker crew of 2012-2013 Best Coaster Ever: Phoenix Top Steel: Intimidator 305 (Maverick in CLOSE 2nd)
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."
