Qatar's New Meryal Water Park is Absurd

- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- On a remote island in the Persian Gulf is a tangled mess of plastic and steel that is part of Qatar’s largest water park and is strangely themed to oil and gas. What even is ‘Meryal’ Water Park and will it open any time soon?

I don’t think it’s good because fossil fuels are damaging our planet and they make out as if it was a good thing
I think this will go the way of Dubai's islands of the world. First who is supposed to use this? Not locals they are poor except the Royal family. Not female visitors as they have a strict religious code that would make it a little awkward to wear a hijab on that. Not to mention no skin allowed to show. Visitors? Nope. Qatar will impose their restrictions with the entire world watching. Not very welcoming. Besides tourism isn't their thing. The journalist suddenly dying during the games is a huge scandal. I doubt it will ever open especially having missed the games deadline. May be it will be dismantled and sent to little Qatar aka Florida. It will be a huge success in Orlando.
Super Cool 😎
if it was all one color sceme it wouldn't look so terrible.
@@Pinkbunnylawder er r ❤eerereto
It looks like something Phineas and Ferb would build, especially that minigolf course they did.
and wallace and gromit.
I know what we're gonna build TODAY!
Moooooom! Phineas and Ferb build a...a... A weird water park! Come home quick!
Yes. It’s seriously cartoonish looking.
I was gonna say Ed, Edd and Eddy
4 years max before this place becomes an episode of Defunctland
YiKeS!!!!!!!!
at least appreciate the risk they're taking of using such a unique theme
WhiteSunFilms presents "Bankrupt."
My thought exactly
Dude it’s the video under this one he’s ready
The design looks like someone dropped a pile of tangled wires on the floor and called it a day
To think this is the same country holding the fifa World Cup rn.
Edit: not hating on the people but the country needs to reevaluate this
Pretty sure I saw this exact design at IAAPA (amusement park rides trade show) just a few weeks ago
Level Fun’s hidden level
The theme is kind of genius. If upkeep ever falls behind, they can just say that the sun-bleached sandblasted aesthetic is intentional.
I honestly believe that is why Merlin UK always go for a themes like saw as a example so when it's in disrepair they can just claim it's part of the theme
Works for Merlin
Or at least they think it does. The audience can tell the difference between painted dirt and rust, and the real thing
My main issue would be that this huge slide tower only has 2 elevators... And they have to move soaking wet people as well... I don't see that going well in the long run.
Probably not a normal elevator
The most easily solvable issues plaguing this monstrosity.
2 very large, very fast elevators. Interior lanes per floor to speed up offloading.
And those raised rubber floors to keep parkgoers up above standing water.
It's a dumb idea, don't get me wrong.
The elevators just aren't the main problem. Or even a particularly difficult one to solve
Or that the park is themed after two substances that don’t go well together. Can’t get the image of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill out of my head. Makes me sick to my stomach. How in the world someone is going to market this is beyond me.
Yeah... I don’t think they’ll last... sure I bet the electronics are water proof but, they’re still metal, and if there’s a lot of people then how will they manage?
Looks fun tho
I don't reckon you'll stay wet for long in Qatar
Considering how many Mining or Gold Rush themed tourist attractions I see in my neck of the United States, seeing park built to the theme of oil refinery honestly makes sense. It's weird to me personally, but only because of the massive aesthetic change from SuperFuturistic Chic to Rust Everywhere! Celebrating a historical source of power and regional stability is just... eh. Is human thing.
Yeah, i dont mind the oil theme, but i think its kinda strange for a water park. For a regular thrill ride park oil makes sense as a theme to me, but a water park themed after oil just feels icky for some reason.
Inside the Silver Legacy in Reno, there’s a huge gold mining rig. Huge missed opportunity to make it a roller coaster.
True
@@BrokenRealityYT 🥰😂😁what a lovely droll remark I love it…picturing this beastly roller coaster in mining rig shape..delicious 😏
I guess Baron 1898 is kinda like that.
This looks like something from a dystopian dark comedy film, right down to the 3D mascot named Oily
"Oil Slick Lagoon" is straight out of The Simpsons.
because it is.
Looks like a Jurrasic Park but with nothing to counter-measure the "I did not spare expenses" like dinoussaurs.
I don't think the park looks like a mess at all. The theme is original and seems well excecuted, and the slide tower looks like it'll be by far the best in the world.
I'm just baffled that they decided to build it on an unstable man made sand island years after similar projects in dubai have failed spectacularly. Then there's the kafala system in Qatar which makes it likely that foreign workers were flown in, underpaid and possibly even died building this. And it's going to be pretty ironic that this oil themed park will eventually but definitely succumb to the rising sea levels that global fossil fuel consumption is largely responsible for :)
i agree i honestly think the icon tower looks really cool
besides being clausterphobic going threw tubing so tight and long. if you get trapped in there its over for you.
@@christineanderson487 how will you get trapped i mean you can juist like crawl through the water slide?
@@Gamer606YT its a plastic tube that goes on for miles. if that tube collapses somewhere when your in it. you will suffocate or drown as water would back up in there. it would take hours to get you out. i would never go in it ....scary! they showed the inside.
@@christineanderson487 trapped..? What’re you talking about?
That’s Class Action water park!!
there's nothing in the world like (class) action park!
Action park! Beautiful name, sure remember it from something!
@@analinrose Get Wild, Get Wet, Get Wasted!
I’ve literally had a nightmare in something that looked exactly like that since I was little! It even had the oil/gas theme. It’s terrifying inside.
Me too! Isn't that bizarre! 🤯
whoa i’m not the only one with weird recurring water park dreams! cool.
The backrooms .. look it up
@@the_turn_up_princess2528 everyone knows about that. i knew about them 5 years ago
@@jizzyboof8166 u can’t speak for everybody
It will either not open and sit abandoned despite being near complete, or will be a local flop and close shortly after.
So like every other ambitious project in the Middle East?
All the asshole oil barons and royalty think "let's build the craziest thing ever", then pay people to say yes to everything even if it isn't a good idea or actually possible
Then it takes so long that there's a financial crisis and suddenly building a 10km tall golden penis doesn't seem like a great idea
Lets be real, a 10km golden penis tower is worth it.
It will be relatively popular
Unbelievable how envious and negative so many of you are. Yes, 90% of startups fail, but that is the case anywhere in the world. At least in the Middle East the dreams are bigger, and a 10% success rate for bigger dreams is still an overall greater achievement than a 10% success rate for small dreams. The tallest skyscraper, the largest mall, the most luxurious hotel, and the 4 tallest hotels - the middle east has achieved it all.
@@popularprosperity What? Dreams are bigger?
Yeah dreams are bigger when you have SLAVES. Qatar is a SLAVE OWNING nation. Get real, muhammed. Middle east hasn't achieved shit, they pay exorbitant amounts for western companies to design their shit for them, then move in slaves from india to finish the projects they started. Some "region"
They’ll probably make an asbestos themed amusement park next
Nah save that for Pakistan
Comparing oil to asbestos is a bad comparison.
Or amusement park made of asbestos
@@carguynewb7856that would be disney
I wouldnt doubt it at all,with pcb"s in the water to
im honestly surprised i havent seen anyone talk about what a nightmare it would be to be in those tubes if you are easily claustrophic... true nightmare material
i suspect there's real chance that you could be just... gone... disappear somewhere lost in this maze, they can't find you, ... since you're accidentally transported into another dimension where everything is oil.
Imagine getting trapped in one of those tubes. My worst nightmare.
the true crime in it all! horrifying
I agree looks like death trap. Someone will die on it.
If you are claustrophobic, why would you go there in the first place?
As a person that can't do waterparks anymore because of all the stairs, I would love if more parks here did that elevator thing. I miss going on the slides!
There's a reason that they don't
@@dacksonflux Money?
@@Spiderific no, maintenance.
@@huntrrams so money? Cause you know, maintenance costs money
This looks dystopian but I'm sure I'd have a blast there.
Great video. That tower looks terrifying. Not sure I'd want to go on it.
It’s probably structurally sound but visually it looks like its about to give out any minute
It looks really cool, but with all that tangled mess (I realize it was a design choice) it will be hard to inspect. And being right against a body of water, the metal components will be more susceptible to rust and corrosion.
It looks like you have to climb to the top, just to ride all the water slides!
The park reminds me of an AI art image "Brutalist Amusement Park"
Which makes me want to go even more
Thanks for this coverage, cannot believe something this ridiculous is being built somewhere in this world lol
Uh, hello Abu Dahbi.
Why is it ridiculous?
I think I like it! Extremely unique, kinda honest, looks like a level in Sonic the Hedgehog. But this is Qatar, so if the exploitation of foreign workers that build the World Cup facilities was at play here, kinda ruins the whole thing…
And yet sadly on the list of "planned extremely dumb mega projects build by oil money or money that doesn't really exist" it probably barely cracks the top 10 right now.
@@jamesm3471 lol it does look like a level of sonic the hedgehog 😂
These designers stole my nightmare. I literally dreamed of a terrifying place like this. Knowing that it is real is pretty freaky.😱
Partygoers:” Guess what? We’re going to Qatar!”
Irl when you are standing on it it’s actually quite amazing
Maintenance team - we’re here to do maintenance on one of your slides on the slide tower
Qatar - good luck 😂😂
Yeah gonna be Tricky have to dismantle 2 other rides before Maintenance or repairs.
This looks like something a kid would make in a theme park simulator game.
the same kid who'd LOL at the deaths.
@@gendoruwo6322 Exactly 🤣
Oil theme is just like all those "Gold Rush" coaster themes in every park in America.
As far as the theming... I thought oil and water don't mix...?
frrrr
And even if they did, why would you want to swim in it? This theme is so surreal.
A place that exists off of oil, building an oil-themed water park, made with oil. At least they're owning up to their truths. It looks hysterical, I kind of love it. 😂
Rising oceans due to global climate change will complete the oil theme, and flood that island
@@StephenBekker not just climate change i believe. I heard that man made islands just doesnt go well and i think they get smaller/break off every year
Qatar isn’t built of oil at all 😂 it’s less than 5% of there output? Please learn the facts before writing this rubbish.
The export LNG. Oil is Iran and the like. NOT qatar
@@Rob-cy8xc There's this website called Google where you can check your facts. Or do you think the decision on the theme of a 200 million dollar water park was just a random brain fart?
@@sentosaco you’re wrong you fool 😂 I lived there 7 years. I literally worked in their sectors.
This is problem with the world today, the internet making people dumb and they just think they know stuff and believe anything they hear and read from their mate who tells them.
Let me guess Dubai also has oil 😂
Go back and actually look, they have large gas fields - they export that - the previous ruler ( current rulers father) changed their fortunes when he modernised their gas plants.
There you go, you have learnt something today.
That tower looks like something Josh would make on Let's Game it Out
I mean I understand the importance oil has played in their history. But it’s undoubtedly tacky to celebrate and theme around something that is actually destroying the planet before our eyes and the reason for many wars.
I feel I wanted to say the same thing, but then I remember the plethora of US-based theme parks I enjoy that are centered around similar ideals of theming itself to the local industry or history, which may or may not be problematic depending on who you ask. Two of Knott's Berry Farm's most well-loved attractions, the Calico Mine Ride and Timber Mountain Log Ride, revolved around gold mining and logging resource extraction. Hersheypark in Pennsylvania has origins in being the entertainment complex for the company town of Hershey, PA, and Dollywood's history going back to Silver Dollar City and the Rebel Railroad has been covered by others I believe.
Although I still agree the idea is absolutely tacky for such an entertainment complex to be built and celebrate an industry such as that, and what that has done to both the globe as a whole as well as internally with local politics and culture of Qatar.
@@TheOnlyBongo Oh, absolutely! Don’t forget anthracite-everything at Knoebels.
Personally I kind Of like the theming it’s just so different
Ehh not their fault their land sit on a huge surplus of oil, not their fault other countries go to war over it. If that's what made them so wealthy they should be proud of that.
Humans are destroying the planet not oil. With no humans the oil would just sit in the ground for another billion years till the sun went red dwarf
You know, every now and then you see something you just can’t believe is real. This is one of those moments.
This would be really cool if it weren't built by some exploited construction workers, where some of them even died.
Thank you!! Screw that country, they are never getting a cent from me.
Where did you get the information about them dying? I have no doubt about the slavery
A Guardian report from February 2021, citing records from national embassies, claimed that more than 6,500 workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka had died in Qatar by the time of its report, since the Gulf nation was awarded the World Cup hosting rights in 2010.
@@mstsp9546 Qatar said the number was the normal death in Qatar last 10 years
All of Swiss wealth is from exploiting Africans for gold? How many have them have died for your countries wealth?
Looks like something I'd throw together in Roller Coaster Tycoon.... And that's never good design.
Thank you for producing this interesting video on the Qatar water park. Personally, you wouldn't catch me anywhere near this country or any other that treats women like property, hires and abuses migrant works and other disgusting stuff. I wished that the FIFA World Cup had never selected Qatar as a host in 2022.
no rainbows allowed, how modern...aint nobody got time for that
Yes, everything about makes me want to throw up. I can’t believe this is themed to the terrible use of oil. But then again, it’s Qatar. And they don’t really care what anyones thinks.
They don't treat women like property not do they abuse migrant workers. What's disgusting are your lies
I assume women won't be allowed in this theme park or be forced to wear layers and layers of clothes
@@MayaMaya-tj7kw From my understanding Qatar's woman-hating culture, women would definitely not be allowed into the water park. Are cultures that repress women's right in any form telling us that they are really homosexual? I think there might be a dark truth to this question.
"The Oil Slick Lagoon" had me, lmao
And that part about making the quests feel as though they're the oil being extracted... I would've loved to have a replay of my expression when I heard that... just whaat?
This park looks like a blast. Theming is original, and not tired and worn out like so many parks here in the US.
When you mentioned it having dark rides I was reminded of a water park in Denver, CO that had 2 water rides which had animatronics in a dark ride. Very next gen ideas.
How is that tangle of plastic supposed to survive the sun and salt out in the Gulf?
Not sure how hot it gets there, but enclosed tube slides in direct desert sun in summer are not fun, they can get too hot. It's like being in a rice cooker, hopefully they chill the water.
Looks like an irl version of my Micro Park that I made in RCT Classic, but instead of coasters it's waterslides.
It's pretty sick they just need to lighten up some of the paint colors
Rainbows are illegal in QT, ask German football team.
50 shades of beige.
This makes Dismaland look warm and friendly.
I feel like maybe 1 or 2 of the rides could oil/gas themed, but not a whole park. Sorta misses the direction the rest of the world is headed in trying to go green... I wonder if this will age well?
Why would a country that got rich from fossil fuels make anything not promoting the use of fossil fuels?
Maybe they should dye the water to simulate swimming in oil and gas.
Such an interesting concept! It honestly sounds like an RCT or Planet Coaster park come to life 😅 I’ve heard of this place but thought it only consisted of Icon Tower… the rest of the park sounds fantastic! The edutainment component sounds really interesting, and the fact that the park will also include a coaster is very fun!
So they designed a park in a place where new parks are frequently abandoned...to look abandoned?....alright.
True big brain moment
@@ReviewTyme galaxy brain moment for sure.
'Oil slick lagoon' is next to 'butt mud bay'
This reminds me of Homer Simpson’s favorite water slide, The Devil’s Deluge
Nothing is more aesthetic when looking for a place to slide down more than ruster metal
Could cultural restrictions/dress codes etc have a negative impact on a water park? While progressive in some ways(by Middle Eastern standards) Qatar still imposes very modest expectations on its population in public....
Just look up Muslim woman bathing suit
@@dacksonflux did what you said. Its a whole coverall with even a headbit.
The amount of drag that would cause with even the dress bit.
@@ColdNorth0628I’m a lifeguard at my local ymca. Since it’s a non-profit ymca memberships are often packaged with health care and I see many Muslims in my area use the facility. The girls have no trouble swimming with the special aquatic veil and the mothers also don’t mind. Everybody loves water parks even if you have to where something moderately annoying when it comes to swimming.
@@toogud7918 glad to know it does not drag.
That hellacious snarl of water slides and tubes looks like it would be a nightmare to maintain.
How is there enough people in the area to support a place like this?!? I know Qatar is a vacation destination but is that enough??
Qatar has 7 theme park its too much for the country
An amusement park themed around gas and oil. This sounds like something from a comedy movie. This is real?
I stayed right next to this, for the World Cup. My accommodation was a tent on that island 😂
It's kind of sad there isn't a mention of the what amounts to slave labor used by Qatar to build their infrastructure and projects. Considering how many die there every year stuck in that country its a big deal.
After the new rules no one deid
I’m Qatari and I wanna say as a Qatari it’s wierd but it looks fun definitely going there when the heat comes back
I was in Qatar last week , i don’t think the heat ever left man
I only have one word for this: bizarre.
The icon tower looks like something I would have made on Dalle•2. That looks so unreal yet amazing.
Someone took the sandbox waterpark builder to a next level
Feels like I’m looking at an alien hive ship.
A great potential site for a horror movie.
that tower is amazing something that would probs never happen in Australia as aussie parks seem to be very careful and the size of that tower would probs get a lot of locals complaining. looks awesome
Well Australia has proper safety regulations, and doesnt allow thousands of migrant workers deaths to build it. So id take an aussie park anyday.
@@johnsmeith3913 is there any proof workers died/were not safe during construction?
You're kidding right
@@radbricks8298 I can’t find the link, as Qatar probably bribed the EU to remove the video, but DW Germany (the German national broadcaster), had a German language article about a month ago highlighting how 8% of the abused workforce that built the FIFA stadiums and infrastructure in Qatar, were re allocated to this water park, where conditions were even more deadly and brutal than the World Cup construction, due to the lack of international attention on a water park. Nobody knows how many migrant workers died building this shithole oil reserve water park, but it’s definitely more casualties than the US, Canada, Western Europe, Oceania, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, or Thailand combined have ever had constructing a tourist water park. But hey, I’ll give Qatar and the Qataris (ironic )credit, Qatar has managed to murder and force migrant workers to work to death more than even genocidal China, so in terms of being a reprehensible country, Qatar is moving up and challenging North Korea, Russia, and China, as the worst countries on planet earth
@Central Intelligence Agency we would believe you if you had the blue checkmark mr CIA
Yes because if there's one thing I'd love to think about when swimming at a water park in the middle of the desert, it's the thought of flaming petrol. Great theming guys! 👍
I have alway love a good waterpark, but even though the rides look fun I think I'm being drawn away by the design and theme. It looks dirty and run down making me feel like it's not safe or could be contaminated in some way. I don't know if others feel this way but I hope the theming doesn't make the park flop.
this slide tower looks from something out of my nightmares
Would it endure a typhoon?
This looks really weird but really cool at the same time lol
Everyones saying it looks ugly, well imo this is cool as heck!
Looks like one could spend the whole day there and have a lot of fun. Although a lot of times the declines on the slides don't look steep enough, pretty much straight across at many points, and sometimes even inclining back up . I picture people getting stuck in these tubes like crazy.
This feels like it should be a particularly acidic parody of sponsored edutainment attractions, yet it’s… not.
This is probably the most dystopian thing I've ever seen. It's like making a theme park based on slavery 😬
Disney has actually gotten dangerously close to doing that on occasion
Disney has actually gotten dangerously close to doing that on occasion
Absurd comparison.
It looks like the perfect place to get tetanus. Practically how will lines work on a tower that has the same location and elevators for 12 slides? That sounds like a logistic nightmare.
My guess is they will have some sort of system like Universal's Volcano Bay, where you virtually enter the line and are notified when it is time to actually ascend by a smartwatch looking wristband.
looks strange but with that so many slides, probably also the best waterpark ever.
It’s like something out of waterworld
If they won't put black dye in the water I don't wanna go
Honestly, I want to go to this park once it opens. And that's saying something as I've only ever left the US to go to the Bahamas, English territory.
Lmfao
An oil themed water park, a mascot named Oily, guests riding in oil barrels, this is Daniel Plainview's "wet" dream come true.
Just looking at the photos, in mind head im screaming, "WHERE ARE THE TREES, THAT SHIT PROBABLY HOT AS HELL I'D TOAST ALIVE."
This would be the perfect fort for raiders to settle after a nuclear apocalypse.
I saw a model of this monstrosity at iaapa and thought it would never be built until I watched this video today
It's just $270 million!? That's like 1/3rd of one of their stadiums that will be used for 1 month.
An oil rig themed theme park? Aight. Make it more mad max looking. And maybe more dinosaurs. That slide though!! 👍🤨
I'm not a Qatar fan but this is neat and makes me want to visit.
How come ur not a Qatar fan?
@@Ra99y Because of the way they treat the migrant workers that are the ones that do the building there.
They chose a theme they never have to repaint. Smart because there wont be money for it.
On a windy day it looks like it will blow down
thats why the tower looks like an oil rig
first of all because both the tower and the oil rig are very packed,
second of all, it is actually themed like it
*LET'S RIDE THE MECHANISM*
Maintenance? Rescue? This cannot be real.
Edit: yes, I see that it exists and is actually a physical thing
The water park cannot be a real business. It has to be a tax shelter or money laundering front. Nobody is going to ride the rides or eat the food.
Didn't you know if Qatari wants to make a project the government helps 80% of the project money so it won't be that expensive
@Known I'm talking about after it's built.. it won't make enough in gate to keep the park in water
@@Faesharlyn It will there are also similar projects like Aqua Park ,Maha theme park And angry birds park
I wonder what waterslide they will build when the oil runs out 🤣
Qatar is gas not oil
It reminds me of something that you would make in a theme park sim.

Lets ride the mechanism!
The water slides from RCT3 soaked has become real
There’s so much going on with all those slides it’s almost fear inducing
If it was in the states my kids and I would definitely hit it up, but across the world it’s too far. Looks like a damn good time though, people who visit it will surely enjoy themselves.

TBH the theme is different and original, let’s see how it does. And that tower looks epic.
Taking a dip in the oil slick lagoon sounds super refreshing
I kind of remember a show or movie that showed a person who made like and attraction about oil and how good it was while simultaneously enslaving 100s of people to work for him to mine it 🤔
Cant remember the name but thats the impressiom that got imprinted on my brain xD
Might of even made it up with my brain somehow
To say that it is a unique theme is an understatement! I admire them for being "stand OUT" and not cookie cutter. I wish them well, Oil well that IS!
You mean "cooke Qatar" right? ;)
Its wild how everywhere there is so much land and money (looking at you Dubai) they always make the most outlandishly goofy af structures
Looks like it belongs in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian sci-fi movie. Elysium, perhaps.
I love odd unique things like this. Some people might get all tight up about things but personally I can fully enjoy something like this while equally driven for a oil/fossil fuel less reliable future. We gotta learn to not be so uptight and get that vibe of the weird 90's era again. I'm the biggest science geek but I also love me some wacky Creative strangeness and our world needs way more of it TBH.
big facts
real
Oil and gas being the items that will undoubtedly cause the park to be underwater some day.

I can't wait for Fanta to release their green soft drink called 'Nuclear Waste' lol
Why don’t they make a “world is your oyster” water theme park? Since their country economy based on Pearling and fishing back in the days before oil, i think it’s way better than celebrating a founding that cause a global warming and oil spill lol
