Thank you, waterpark, for seizing the opportunity. Aquatar is a spectacular name.

This can’t be a real park. How would you even get to the waterslides, what stair system would work with this?
it’s real and if it didn’t already look dystopian enough, everything is oil themed for some fucking reason.
I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn’t finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.
Announced: 04 Oct 2017; Construction Start: 04 May 2019. Timeline matches then I think.

It’s called The Tornado. They have them at a bunch of water parks in the states. So far, nobody’s been crazy enough to try that yet.
