Not exactly Theme Park news, but I’m reading about the famous waxwworks museum are planning to open in Dubai. Operated by the Merlin group Madame Tussauds currently have museums in London, New York, Las Vegas , Hong Kong, Washington DC, Amsterdam, Shanghai and Berlin.

This news comes recently after the announcement of Legoland Dubailand, which will include Lego models of regional icons including Burj Dubai, Burj Al Arab and Pyramids of Giza.

We already have LEGO Theme Parks in Denmark, United Kingdom, USA and Germany, next will be Dubailand! This 3 million square-foot theme park is scheduled to open at the end of 2011 by Merlin Entertainments Group, the world’s second largest operator of visitor attractions.

Information released today says we should expect to see more than 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions geared towards families with children ages 2 to 12.

Hopefully we will see a sneak preview on their new web site when it goes live: www.LegoThemeParkDubai.com
