Las Palm − the company behind the pro- posed new Adventure World Warsaw attraction under development in Poland − is taking the concept to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The consortium has already invested more than e11m (£8.8m, US$13.8m) in the 593-acre (240-hectare) Polish attrac- tion, which aims to offer a comparable ex- perience to major European parks like Alton Towers, UK, and Europa Park, Germany.
10 Attractions Handbook 2012–2013 Both parks will be built “in parallel”, but
the e400m (£321m, US$502m) Polish site is due to open first, in spring 2014. Although the 198-acre (80-hectare) Adventure World Abu Dhabi will be based on the same concept as that of Adventure World Warsaw − incorporating five themed islands with 25 attractions, as well as an entertainment area with cinemas and restaurants − it will also feature elements of local culture and history, as well as the country’s largest aquapark. The five themes at Adventure World War- saw will be Castle Island, Creature Lagoon, Adventure Harbour, Land of Legends and Polski Plaza. The theme park is the first phase of a planned investment for the site, with a second phase set to include another theme park, an entertainment village, a wellness centre and a business centre. AGS Architects, Vekoma and Jora Vision are working on Adventure World Warsaw.

Assael Architecture has unveiled its vision for Dreamland Margate in Kent, UK, as part of a public inquiry into whether the local authority can compulsorily purchase the site. The London-based practice has worked up plans to protect and reuse a Grade II*-listed cinema and scenic railway as part of a housing scheme to attract investment for the project. A cultural and amusement hub will be at the centre of Assael’s plans for the Margate Town Centre Regenera- tion Company (MTCRC) and Thanet District Council-led development. The new cultural hub will be located within the cinema, with a heritage-based theme park on site.
