Sega Park Opens In Dubai

By Luke Plunkett

The SEGA Republic - a nine-ride, 150-game amusement park - has officially been opened in Dubai Mall, roughly 18 months after it was first announced.

The rides - with names like Spin Gear, Sonic Hopper, Halfpipe Canyon, Storm-G and Initial D4 Limited - are all just standard fun park fare, only with Sega characters stuck over them. They're split over five "zones", labelled Speed, Adventure, Sports, Cyberpop and Redemption.

There are also 150 arcade machines scattered around the place, along with plenty of places to spend your hard-earned dirham on Sega merch.

Welcome to the 1990's, Dubai. Expect this place to die as spectacular a death as any other Sega "fun park" built outside Japan during the Clinton/Seinfeld era.

@PullusPardus: From some1 living in dubai for the last couple of years I can rest assure you the pics of the projects you have put up are all hypothetical.. The craziest thing built here yet is the tallest building in the world and an artificial ski slope.. im sure they'll figure out how to make the former on "slave bones" soon enuf...

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business
