dubaidave Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have just got back and will add some photos soon. Only went on the coaster and was very impressed, certainly the best in Dubai at the moment. was amazed that there was hardly anyone there today. I was the only person on the coaster. More soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore44 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Not the only one must have missed you ! Myself and the family were there since 10am. The whole place was empty but I presume everyone is preparing for Ramadan tomorrow. Coaster is very good but I believe they still have problems with the dark section lighting ? anyway theres nothing else here to beat it yet !!!!! They stopped me taking photos so I hope you managed to get some good ones. Heres some pics of the park map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacups Make Me Sick Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thank you for the report... Question, what did you mean they stopped you from taking pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubaidave Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Here are some pics I took today. I only did a very quick visit as I had expected the place to be packed. Anyway managed to get a new credit which doesn`t happen very often out here. Was a bit unsure about taking pics. I took stills on my video camera and only started when I saw someone else with a video camera. Got a few funny look off security but was not approached. I will head back with my family soon and will go on all the rides and try and get more pics. Overall I was very impressed, but can imagine it being a nightmare when busy. The pics look a bit funny because the lighting was really strange and I have had to brighten them up a bit. Enjoy random shot of other attractions. Ride op Que Line Lets head up to the coaster first These greeter girls look very similar to the ones in Tokyo, if I remember correctly. The ticket machines Finally its open.

coasterdude5 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Great pictures! While the whole place looks really cool, it looks pretty deserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I will be there in January, so I can do a full trip report on a possible much busier park day, as the park will have been open a good 5-6 months by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrX8991 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Being both a video game fan and a roller coaster enthusiast, I must say that Spin Gear looks amazing! Of course, an Intamin accelerator would have been a better Sonic coaster: It's fast, the way up represents Sonic's rise to fame, and the way down represents the spiraling nosedive in quality. Still, the park looks like a really good version of Disney Quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted for truth. This is completely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJS1981 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That place looks very fun. I love those driving games using actual cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Just FYI. The park has now changed its opening times so it doesent open til 4 on weekdays. Gues this means no more empty morning trips then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrich Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Just FYI.The park has now changed its opening times so it doesent open til 4 on weekdays. Gues this means no more empty morning trips then. Thanks for the update. Back in Dubai next week and planning to head to the mall for the coaster, I'll go over one evening now. Is the Atlantis waterpark also worth a visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 It looks pretty cool, the place in general. I hope to be able to visit Dubai in the future. I've been saving up for years now, I just don't know if I'd actually be able to travel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
