Dubailand.

My reply kind of failed to answer the question of whether or not Dubailand will outstrip Walt Disney World in Florida, specifically. I'll modify my response to add that, no matter what, Disney in Florida has got some work to do to win back its standing as a world class destination. We've been coasting on reputation, cutting corners and lowballing expectations for a long time now. There are scattered signs of hope (dang, but we have a spiffy mansion these days!), but will we ever win back iSm? Sounds like a longshot, but a worthy gauntlet to throw.

I'll need to know more about specific attractions in Dubai, but coasters and giant malls won't really do it for me.

If I read you right, what you want is great theaming along with great attractions, the classic Disney one-two punch. Will Dubailand bring it all together or be as you said, a Vegas (which I often compare to a termite mound).

Given the speed they are putting this all together with, I'd have to guess "yes" and "no". As a whole Dubailand will flow together about as much as Disneyland and Knotts do. While some individual aspects will be quite well done. After all with this many separate projects..... if you toss enough **** at the wall some is bound to stick.
