What the hell?! Seriously someone has too much time on their hands to come up with this.

Seriously who would want to live in a villa that moves up and down? Pass the sick bag!! :pukeright:

I think Dubai needs to put money into solving it's current problems rather than chucking money at silly ideas. It's just a gimmick and gimmick rarely last very long.

Sorting out the roads for one, which I know is already underway but more needs to be done.

Better bus services, get the train going, better housing and accomodation for workers, the zoo is a digrace it's been 7 years since they said they were going to build a new one - where is it?

I think the project is a total waste of money.

Your right about the project sounding like a waste, but you also have to look at the technology that is used to build one of a kind things it's very important. The amusement industry has developed items that have helped in many other areas. Think of the design work that would have to go into something like a skyscraper with every floor turning in different directions. How would you build the infrastructure of a building like that? Thinking out of the box is what develops need things.

A person should not look at just the idea but at what would have to be done to truly build the idea.

"Think out of the box build your dreams!"

But in truth it most likly will not happen at the level thats in the article. Dubailand is still in the dream stages.

Yea.. i guess its possible.. if u got the right money.. concept is sumthin new.. but depends on what level of quality they work on this project.. as such an adventure will require the highest level ever see...Anyone qualified for that... is yet to be seen.....!!!.. from what i have heard.. some major projects by MAJOR developers are quite poor on quality... well lets all hope that the bubble stays as it is and never bursts....!!!!!!...know what i mean...!!!!!!!
