Saudi Arabia: Plans to build an offshore Oil-Themed Park

Added 2021-10-23

Description

A 150,000 square meter, sustainable (developers claim) Oil-rig cum Theme Park could have been a serious contender for April Fool's jokes in the post-pandemic/climate crisis era, but it is a real project by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, with a 2030 completion date and an expected 650,000 annual visitors. This could be an interesting idea for existing oil rigs, but building one from scratch? Are so many people "inspired" by Oil these days?
