Legoland Dubai

The proposed Legoland project in Dubai is a partnership between UK-based attractions operator Merlin Entertainments Group and Dubailand developers Tatweer. It was originally scheduled to open in 2011.

The developers behind it have insisted the project will still go ahead despite delays brought about by the global economic slowdown.

“Given the current situation in the region work on the project has been delayed, but both Merlin and our local partners remain entirely committed to building a Legoland Park in Dubai,” a spokesperson from Merlin told Arabian Business this week.

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.
