Auf den Satellitenbildern kann man die Parks nun schon deutlich erkennen:

Außerdem soll es für den motiongate™ Park eine Kooperation mit Lionsgate geben, dort wird es wohl u.a. einen "Die Tribute von Panem (The Hungar Games)" Ride geben!

LIONSGATE PARTNERS WITH DUBAI PARKS AND RESORTS FOR THE HUNGER GAMES-INSPIRED THEME PARK ATTRACTIONS AT MOTIONGATE™ DUBAI

These will be connected by Riverland, a retail, dining and entertainment walkway. The development will also feature Lapita, a Polynesian-themed resort catering to families.

Auf der arabischen Reisemesse "Arabian Travel Market" hat sich Dubai Parks & Resorts mit mehreren Ständen vorgestellt.

Hier ein paar Bilder vom Twitteraccount:

Erst durch das ausgesellte Modell wird einem bewusst wie gigantisch dieses Projekt ist

Dazu nochmal die wichtigsten Fakten:

Es gibt nun auch eine HP für das gigantische Projekt:

In diesem Artikel wurden ein paar der Lieferanten für die Freizeitparkattraktionen aufgelistet!

Uns erwarten also u.a. Attraktionen von Mack Rides, ETF Rides Systems, Simworx, Zamperla, Dynamic Structures und Gerstlauer

 

[Millenniumforce]

Das hört sich schon mal richtig gut an.
Besonders gespannt bin ich darauf was für eine neue Generation von Simulatoren ETF Rides Systems da hinbaut! Vielleicht den selbstfahrenden Simulator den die 2012 auf der IAAPA vorgestellt haben.

Simworx wird sehr wharscheinlich ein Immersive Tunnel bauen und Dynamic Structures verbindet man auch oft mit Simulatoren.
Es werden uns wie bei Ferrari World auch viele Simulatoren erwarten.

Gerstlauer baut wahrscheinlich eine Achterbahn (vermute ich stark)

Gerstlauer baut wahrscheinlich eine Achterbahn

Auf die bin ich schon ganz besonders gespannt.

Die waren also auf einer großen Shoppingtour

Am interessantesten ist aber das Bild was dazugehört:

Eine Mack Rides Bahn ist also schon sicher. Dürfte entweder zu einem Powered Coaster oder Inverted Powered Coaster gehören (man muss auf die Querstreben achten, da scheint überall eine Art Halterung dran zu sein).

[Mauer02]

Also für mich erscheint es als werde es ein inverted Powerd Coaster. Warum?

Ausgegangen von den Schienen im obrigen Post von Mack:
Ein Inverted Powerd Coaster denn:
Jeder Powerd Coaster von Mack hatte bisher nur 2-Gurt Schiene ( aktuelles Beispiel siehe Miniwah)
Ebenfalls hat der Powerd Coaster seine Stromversorgung direkt unter der Schiene und benötigt da keine Extrahalterungen. (Siehe Bild)

Quelle: www.gold-creek-city.de

Auch die Reibradspur liegt beim Powerd Coaster nicht mittig und ist idR. direkt an der Schiene besfestigt und muss nicht noch zusätzlich montiert werden. ( Auch hier sehe folgendem Bild)

Quelle: www.gold-creek-city.de


Wenn man sich nun den Inverted Powerd Coaster Protyp Arthur im Europa Park anschaut, passen folgende Sachen überein:
3-Gurt Schiene
Halterungen für Stromversorgung sind schon erkennbar und haben noch nicht die Aktuelle Endlage erreicht. Sprich hier ist dieses kleine Blech unterhalb der des dritten Nichtlaufrohres ( relativ klein mit zwei Löchern )
Ebenfalls sind nur Halerungen für die Reibradspur vorhanden und nicht die Halterung an sich.
(Vergleiche mit folgendem Foto)

Quelle: Arthur - Europa Park (Rust, Baden Wuerttemberg, Germany)

In diesem Bild sieht man, wie die Reibradspur extra Montiert ist und auch die zusatzhalterungen für die Stromversorgung, welche an die kleinen Platten Zwischen den Querstreben montiert werden.

Also sollten es wirklich diese Obrigen Schienen sein wird es ziemlich sicher ein Inverted Powerd Coaster

 

[Erestor]

Sieht 1:1 wie die Arthur Schiene aus. Schätze also ein Inverted Powered Coaster, mal sehen ob das eine Achterbahn oder eher ein Darkridecoastermix wird.

Edit: ops da war ich etwas spät

 

[flaffstar99]

Würde doch passen, da doch schon von Mack behauptet wurde, dass das Konzept schon an 2 Parks in Asien verkauft wurde.

 

[Neunerbahn]

Jeder Powerd Coaster von Mack hatte bisher nur 2-Gurt Schiene

Nope, Arctic Blast im Ocean Park Hong Kong ist ein Mack Powered Coaster mit 3-Gurt-Passagen.
Guckst du hier: Arctic Blast - Ocean Park (Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, China)

*Klugscheißermodus aus*

Das aber nur nebenbei bemerkt, die Schienen hier sind zu 100% für ein inverted Powered Coaster.
Da bin ich mal auf des Theming gespannt!
