Ah, Dubai. It’s become one of the fastest developed cities in the world and offers some unique attractions. Now, it’s the home to a 76,000 square foot Sega theme park.
The theme park has 150 amusement games spread out into five themed zones -- Speed, Adventure, Sports, Cyberpop and Redemption. The park also has nine rides with names like Spin Gear, Sonic Hopper, Initial D4 limited and so on.
The Spin Gear sounds like a really awesome ride. Dubai Chronicle describes it as a roller coaster where two people face each other and spin in circles as they go down the track. The Spin Gear is also the theme parks largest ride as it takes up more than 20 percent of the total area in the park.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

COME CHECK OUT OUR REALLY COOL SHIT (Just don't think about the fact lives were broken to make it)
Bleh, Sorry. I'll STFUAJPG now.
Still, this place seems really awesome as a whole.
It's the only theme park where you'll see a section named "Redemption", at the very least.
Then again, I also feel as though investing in real estate seems like a great idea over there.
The kingdom of Dubai is already running on E with their fuel trade, instead it's doing all of this to encourage western investors into their real-estate as well as invest in their main city as a vacation and tourist spot. They know, along with other Kingdoms of the UAE, that trade with the West is good business but they're also aware that they can no longer sell fuel.
It's one of the few Middle Eastern places that's bending over backwards to cater to Westerners as they've actually spent resources to find loop-holes in the Koran to allow drinking and so on.
However as ConsummateK has pointed out they've bent over backwards too much as they've put their own people into near bondage. The nickname for westerner in Dubai is "Fortunate One".
Also I saw the Sega republic but it was closed along with the cinema. I wonder if the cinema has opened as well?
Sorry, misread your post since I just now saw you said Fossil *water*, sorry about that.
SO HERE I AM, DOING EVERYTHING I CAAAN....
As a side note, I want my MadWorld The Ride, SEGA. Make it so!
yeh I went to the sega experience ad well but it was closed. Spent 5 weeks in Dubai and I'm nevar going back.
Unless they open up a nintendoland :)
