Dubailand coasters what will they be like?

06 April 2007 - 04:47 AM

With EVERYTHING else breaking records in Dubai, tallest building, largest shopping mall, largest airport, only 7 star hotel, largest amusement resort (2-3x the size of Walt Disney World) you'd think the coasters would break records like a 299 foot tall B&M with 8200+ feet of track. Now I also would like to know the proof that B&M would NOT go over 299 feet tall. Is there a quote with Walter or Claude saying that they would not build over 299 feet or is that just a rumor? No USA park would build something that big but I wouldn't put it past Dubailand to build a 500 foot B&M mega (hyper) coaster (if B&M would be willing to build something that tall). I'm sure a 500 foot tall 12,000 foot long B&M mega can still easily be built for $75-120 million (extremely expensive but many Disney E-Ticket rides costs $100 million and IOA's Spiderman was rumored to cost $200 million not to mention Dubai has extremely deep pockets like Dsiney & Universal). Anyone see that as a possibility?
