Cancelled - Universal Studios Dubai

- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2017
- Today we delve deep into the Dubai desert, looking at what could have been one of the most iconic instalments for Universal Studios parks. With preliminary construction completed, the project was stopped dead in its tracks after a major global shift in the economy. Join me as we take a look at what could have been one of the most influential theme parks of the Middle East.

Well on a slightly lighter note I'm willing to bet when the project was cancelled, they all said "Gubai", am I right?
i'll just see myself out because I was trying too hard.
Good one Brad
I'm so proud of you for that, Brad. Thanks, my dude.
*Applause*
Alrighty then, that did bring a smile to my face and a slight chuckle. Gubai to you sir. ;)
Brad Mitchell LOL😁
It’s been a while since the last Cancelled episode! Wishing you a very Happy New Year

I live in what remains of Dubai Land. It's sorta weird living around half-constructed abandoned buildings, almost feels like I'm living in a ghost town.
Honestly, the whole Dubai land project is just crazy.. and I’m not surprised that it failed. Also u mentioned that LEGO land Dubai also was canceled, but it wasn’t, it’s actually opened now in a place called “Dubai parks and resorts” just liked to point that out. But great video nonetheless!!
Universal studios dubailand is open now its not cancelled
girly girl it’s cancelled....
your exactly right
@Chypre-Dreams dude, are you on coke? no-one here boycott's brands for being "too american", and unlike what you think, we're not cavemen, women have equal rights. to be honest, with the research you've done, it feels like you're the caveman here.
@iSevenSimmer It was opened and named as Dubai Parks and Resorts. But people hardly go there in summer because the heat is way too extreme. I have been there and i saw that even some of the restaurants even close down for 2/3 months because they do not have business.
My dude. You make professionally made docs look like Jersey Shore. Yeah, my references are dated. I'm old. Stay off my lawn.
No way, old man! I do what I want!
**steps on lawn while doing a cocky dance**
*blasts nice for what/gods plan on a Bluetooth speaker*
Simple people
Let us see your docs then.
What's Jersey Shore??
I’m just wondering who would want to be in a theme park in 110 degree weather in the middle of the summer while waiting one to two hours for a ride.
I'm pretty sure people in that region are used to it by now, you realize people in florida deal with the same thing?:p
Pikachu2Ash I’ve been to Islands of Adventure in Orlando in July. It might be humid as fuck but at least it’s not 110 to 120 in the afternoon. Also, it rains in the afternoon to cool things down.
louman-eightyfour I've been to Dubai in the winter when it was 65 to 70 degrees. Everybody bundled up their kids in winter coats! I had a light sweater on and everybody else had mittens and hats and coats. 120 degrees to them as like 90 to 95 degrees to us. At least it seemed that way.
"Also, it rains in the afternoon to cool things down." Actually it still humid even when it rains so that 's not saying much really :p and like I said people who lived their whole life in the middle east are probably used to the really hot weather there. You are sitting there clueless without realising that you wouldn't understand how they would not seem to mind it when you don't even live there :p.
Pikachu2Ash the temperature with the humidity with the hot sun shining down on you vs the temperature when it’s cloudy and raining are two different things. Also the theme parks in Dubai will cater to tourists not used to the insanely hot weather. Not everyone who goes to Dubai is Arab.
Huh. I assumed this project was still going on. Oh well. Though it is weird seeing the iconic Universal Studios archway left abandoned somewhere.
'iconic' .... a word tossed around far too often where it does not deserve being used ... what does 'iconic' mean , anyway ?? just my humble opinion... comes from 'icon' ... item worthy of literal worship ... ... I personally don't understand how a sign is 'worthy of worship' ...😮😯🤨🙄😒next is for the narrator... who uses this word often ... 🤐🤐🤐😝😒😣😴😴😴😴😴😴
@@jmason2838 what?
Once again, Bright Sun has fulfilled my bizarre hunger for amusement/theme park trivia.
They actually made Legoland Dubai and a Legoland waterpark
Why shiekh Muhammad's wife ran out.
Was it dictatorship or domestic violence?
lee zeo nah she didn’t run out
lee zeo it was fake
@@Leezeo now tell me what this has to do with fucking *THEME PARKS*
lee zeo she wanted to transfer 40 billion to a foreign bank, she had it all but she decided to do something stupid
I like BSF videos because I learn a lot about things I otherwise don't know much about, like theme parks.
MisterNinetySeven I didn't even know that the Universal Studios Dubailand project was even a thing. This was entertaining!
I saw it comin!! *I don’t live that far from that arch, ever since I was a kid I always wondered when will they continue building it, but as I grew up that excitement just faded away..*
So crazy huh
Bright Sun Films crazy indeed..
Same here! When i would go to outlet mall, i alwayss wondered now i looked this up im kinda sad, but i suspected it of course
Whereabouts is the arch?! I've lived here for almost 18 years now and have never seen it! Like what general area?
Sophie M it’s on the road to global village on the highway where when you look left and right it’s just sand
Excellent video. Your content is so professional, it belongs on TV.
Not really tbh I expect a little better
on TV, you can't get away with showing a bunch of photos that slowly move around
Michael Xz ye, but it is till entertaining. Not for tv tho, and people expect drama, action, and stuff.
This is TV quality content, keep it up!
TV is outdated son, this is much better.
Has anyone actually sat down and watched tv besides for sports recently?
antwan857, I dont think they have. TV really has some good things, Its not Necessarily outdated.
@@paigeschlick8430 or netflix
Yeah! I love Cancelled this series is boss sauce! Happy New Year Jake! Cant wait to see what content you bring us in 2018!
Love it Jake! Not gonna lie, one of your best yet
Cutshort and Bright Sun Films are legitimately two of my favorite channels on RUclips
They keep getting better with each video! 😁
Cutshort I concur 😎
Hey Cutshort
Robert Butler Holy shit RB3 :)
A new episode of cancelled always makes the week better! Seriously love your videos Jake, they’re so good. Keep them up, and I can’t wait to see what videos you have planned for next year.
You probably won't see this; but I've been going through a tough time mentally recently, and watching your videos on Disney/Universal attractions and parks has really helped me out. (as ridiculous as that sounds). Reminds me of a simpler time in my life. Anyway, thanks for creating such great content. I've subscribed and hit that bell that button, so look forward to more in the future!
I'm reading this 4 years later and I hope things have gotten better for you ❤️❤️🙏🙏
@@goldie862 Thank you for your kind words. They certainly have gotten better for me. I hope life is treating you well, friend 🙌🏻❤️
@@Jamesyp42 I couldn't be happier to hear that!!! (That was a super long shot that you would even see my message!!) ❤️❤️❤️
Great. Then Someone Needs To Transfer The Money To The Workers In Order To Continuing Building The Universal Studios Dubailand Project.
Seek some therapy not blasting over media for support or attention
This was super interesting. I always love all of your theme park stuff, but your Universal episodes are particularly interesting since Disney has such a cult following that a lot of the information is readily available, whereas fewer people make content on Universal, especially content with this quality level. You guys are one of my absolute favorite channels, keep up the outstanding work!
That was so Interesting! Thank you Jake for the awesome video.
Nice job on this Jake. I always look forward to watching these!
You should do an ABANDONED video on Sydney's Monorail Network. It was pretty spooky seeing the random monorail stops hanging in the sky for years.
Well, sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail! What'd I say?
Great video Jake! It would have been interesting to mention that a lot of these projects did get resurrected as Riverland Dubai which is very similar to Dubailand but on a smaller scale. They now have Legoland, Dreamworks, Six Flags (opening next year), a Bollywood park and a Universal style area called Motiongate Dubai.
Ahhh yes! I’ve been dying for another “Cancelled” episode! Happy New Year!
one of my favorite series!!!! thank u for the consistently great content! we appreciate it big time
OMG. i remember seeing that universal studios sign and being REALLY confused lol
Thanks jake great episode like always
Great job! Thank you for taking the time to create these videos, they are really entertaining and fact-filled!
Always love waking up to Bright Sun films content in my sub list!
I love your work! I always look forward to your videos!
Finally a new video! Always look foward to them :-)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!!! I watch them ALL the time!! Keep up the good work
I just have to say that your channel is my favorite. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
I love BSF, always so informational
Please Make an abandoned of the Fountainbleu resort which is a Half finished hotel on the Las Vegas strip, huge fan!
He did, today. Oh and 2020 is the new 2008
I love these videos!!! I've been waiting so long
Very informative and entertaining, as always. Thanks, Jake!
YAYYYY! My day is automatically brightened when you upload!
Universal are also building one in London.
With Doctor Who and Top Gear rides announced. What we get for not nurturing creativity in our country :(
Larry Bundy Jr lol what about walking with dinosaurs
HELLO YOU
Larry why is your cartoon face staring at me everywhere I go
No they’re not that was paramount and they’ve pulled out anyway.
top gear?
dam at least get the grand tour
Your channel is absolutely incredible. I can't believe there are only a few channels like this. In love😊
I was just binge watching your videos today! Keep up the good work!!
I've been living in Dubai for the past 15 years and I drive past that gate along with empty acres of sand, always wondered what the story about it was
Daniel Broz WoW 15 years and you dont even know hahahaha
Maria Vos knew it was cancelled but didn't know the specifics, just wasn't bothered. Don't get what's really that funny
Amazing video as usual! Since I'm from the UAE I was thrilled to see this video and clicked the notification immediately! Keep up the great work!
(Ps: Legoland Dubai was eventually built and opened about a year or so ago and its now one of the parks at Dubai Parks and Resorts. There's a Legoland waterpark there too. I've also seen ads for six flags which is set to open in 2019 apparently. I heard about universal studios Dubailand about 2 years ago and I did some research on it and now you've uploaded this video and I was like yesss something in the Middle East 😂😂
Fatima Dubai is genuinely my favorite place on earth, I’ve lived there since 2006 and recently moved to America and omg, do I miss it. Emirati people are the most respectful, well educated, beautiful, and well mannered people I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to go back soon.
@@commander_pickle4273 As an Emirati, I'm so glad you've had a pleasant experience in the UAE! I bet next time you visit a lot of things will become almost unrecognizable.
Really love your videos, man. You research and present such rich, interesting information in a really elegant way. It works well and i can't wait to see more as we roll through 2018
Great editing and narrating! Really well done!
Cheers from Saskatchewan!
I live in Dubai and all the time I travel I see the archway for universal on the way tbh this place has created many theme parks equally as good as universal.
You have Instagram Edwin ?
Mr. Wednesday Warner Bros is indoors as well, Motiongate is mostly indoors except for few rides in an outdoors section.

One of the best episodes yet! Keep up the good work Jake!
Another great vid! Keep up the amazing quality, guys!
Another fantastic video brother I swear we are gonna see you doing professional documentary series on Netflix brother
Joe Vinski oh yeah brother snap into a slim jim
I used to drive past the archway all the time. Always wondered why there was nothing else there apart from an outlet mall. Thanks for clearing that mystery up!
I love this channel thank you very much. I can tell you care about your viewers because every time you upload the video is always the same good quality. Thank you
Great work, I really enjoy your videos... thanks for taking the time to make and share them.
Love your vids! Please do a cancelled video on Action Park- amusement park
It's still around.
I so would've gone to that... Thanks for the cool vid Jake!
You teach me something new every time!! Love you vids!!!
Dayummmm i was looking forward to look what happened. Thanks alot for these videos! They are waaaaaaay too interesting an informative, love them!
You should make abandoned Sports Authority
wolfy621 I forgot about Sports Authority.
wolfy621 Don't forget Sports Chalet too!
Well LEGO land and dreamworks didn’t get cancelled
And motiongate
Love your videos. They are just full of detail and full of information. Keep up the good work.
Nice touch with the Islands of Adventure music in the background Jake! Brings back holiday memories!
I was in Dubai in 2014 and we were driving out to the desert and just in the middle of nowhere was a “Universal Studios” icon arch sign and NOTHING ELSE!! Wish I had taken a picture was so excited at the thought of coming back in a few years to go to it but I guess that’s not happening but I’ll never forget seeing that arch standing all alone.
Next you should do Paramount London! I was disappointed when that plan was cancelled because I live near that area.
Always get excited when a new video comes out. Keep it up!
I love this series. Keep up the good work Jake!
They replaced it with motion gate / Dubai parks and resorts
Motion gate is kind of eh Abu Dhabi’s Yas island is better tbh
i love when its every other Friday!!!
These are the videos I love to watch, I have notifications on just for these videos.
Love these series! Keep them up (:
Video Request
A cancelled proposal by Nickelodeon to build an underwater theme park in the Philippines
BTW Happy new year Jake!
Peppa Pig wait they did what.
Disneyland Philippines too.
Do one on the once retail giant Filene’s. @BrightSunFilms
Very nice Jake. Quality stuff. The research you put in makes it a great documentary.
Another very good video Jake, thanks and Happy New Year
YES! Was waiting for this so long as a Dubai resident :D
Pretty sure Legoland was not cancelled though, and I've seen the arch myself many times, and its pretty cool because every time I went to Dubai Outlet mall, I saw the arch myself and wondered what it was for, meanwhile I always read about Dubailand and never knew where the whole thing was. lol
Legoland still got built, but it was originally going to be part of this park.
Its because of the weather. Lol. Literally no one will go to Universal Studios during summer. Temp reaches around 50C.
Indoor
@ZionHillCalling what do you mean?
ZionHillCalling fuck off jealous
@ZionHillCalling Everything is wrong with your pea-sized brain.
Love watching your videos. Keep them coming!!!
Awesome video as always! And I hope you have a Happy New Year!
This is posted on my birthday, yay!!
Happy Birthday!!
WolfHeaven Media How old are you now?
happy birthday Boris!, he get computer game and cake,....hey Boris...Boris, eat the cake, sell the game....
HHHHAPPPY HHHHAPPPY BBBIRTHHHHDAYYY
Just imagine how cool it would be if this project actually happened in a more suitable place with less intense climate
I love this stuff, keep it going. Happy new year 🎊🎆🎈
I’m always so excited when I get a notification for a new video from you! 😁
Great video as always. I worked out in the UAE for a few years and worked with a number of people who worked on the Dubailand project which did result in Global Village and the Outlet Mall being built but it was well known by the team working on it that funding was really in place for any of it and most admit they didn't expect it to be built. The offices were demolished because a number of Asian labourers were living there because they had become stranded, when companies go bust very low paid staff have no way to get home and visas are canceled so they become stuck and are technically homeless.
The site at one point had some parts of coasters and shipping containers of items for the park delivered but they seem to have disappeared. I was told these were never paid for like many things as it often the way there even from govenment held companies who are the worst for ripping off people and companies. The Six Flags project and Lego both came back to life under another company as they had done a lot of design work for Dubailand which they weren't paid for I guess they hoped to recoup the costs. The problem with any themepark in the UAE is it will never be a commercial success as out of around 3m residents 900k are locals, 1m are Indians/Pakistani/Bangladeshi, 400k filpinos and the rest a mix of westerners and other Asians. Many just can't afford to attention the parks in the volumes needed as the Ferrari World has found out and has needed constant injection of cash to keep it running and to stop it looking like a white elephant.
I heard Dubai will make there own park also called Dubai land.
The population is certainly not 3 million
Peter i interesting
That 1 dislike must've been accidental. Nice video, dude.
Thanks so much Jake. This was a very interesting video...actually, I love all your videos! You have a great voice too 👍🏼. Happy new year from the U.K
I LOVE BRIGHT SUN FILMS! It’s so funny Jake!
Yay I'm early! Love ya BSF!!
I have watched all of your Cancelled and Abandoned Video's. you do an amazing job. Thanks for the entertainment!.
Thanks for choosing such interesting topics. These are the best.
It’s named “Dubai land” but everything in the park is American themed 😂
I went to Dubai then we went to a outlet mall then when I saw the map I saw it said universal studios I was surprised there was one in Dubai but turns out it wasn’t even done or even made
Boi i've been waiting for this video for so long, did not disappoint! Well done
I never thought exploring the history if abandoned projects could be this interesting. Great work BSF!
An idea for Universal - BRING IT TO AUSTRALIA WE HAVE PRACTICALLY NO THEME PARKS WE ARE LONELY
ThatAussieGirl yeah but like we don't have themed blockbuster parks with resorts and such. Also, all of the theme parks (minus sea world) in Queensland are in Coomera, right off the highway, which means it takes ages to get there.
Joanna Craddy I heard there was a Sega theme park in Sydney which was demolished
Lol the parks in Australia are old and crumbling and boring after a couple times.
I should know I used to work in one.
I'm early! Lemme think of a joke
Six Flags owning Geauga Lake
Mewleon Kun bahahahahhahaahabhaahahhahahah
you call that a joke?? pfeh, i'll tell you a dirty joke....
a beautiful white horse fell into a mud hole, the end......
Mewleon Kun “I am Universal Studios, look upon my works ye mighty and dispair!”
Love you Jake, keep up the awesome vids😊
Thank you for another amazing job, Jake!
I think it's great to know why projects fail and how to avoid similar issues in the future, so I'm happy this video was made 👍
I guess I thought I would be used to it at this point, but the sheer ignorance in some of these comments is just sickening to be honest 😪
Theres been a universal studio advertisrment outside my house for the last 10 years
Very cool! Had no idea about this! Very interesting to see what comes of the property and idea.
Wow! I had no idea that was even being planned. Great episode, Jake!
There is something called motion gate theme park u in Dubai that hah Columbia pictures, dreamworks and more
