Looks more like a Kamino cloning center to me.

It made me think of this



But once I saw the image again for the first time in donkeys years I realised that it doesn't actually look anything like it, they're just both in water, and that's it.

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT A RUSH!!!!

/wait you were thinking of a different LoD?

Yeah, an underwater hotel. And we're going to build a "world" too and and people will pay millions of dollars just to have their own island.



Buy now, before this fabulous opportunity is over!

Wake me up when someone builds Rapture.

I do love the design, though.

But once I saw the image again for the first time in donkeys years I realised that it doesn't actually look anything like it, they're just both in water, and that's it.

Actually it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the article.

I would stay there.... once it's built and I've won the Powerball so I have the money to actually afford a single night's stay.

/would rather buy Bora Bora and live there

Isn't the water in Dubai pretty shiatty? If I recall, they had a bit of a sewage issue.

Might not offer the best views.

If it's like anything else in Dubai, they'll run out of money halfway through.

Seriously though, how could Dubai look at what happened to places like Arizona and Nevada and think to themselves "You know what, how about we base our entire economy on real estate. What could go wrong?"

Hey it's zombie proof.

bdub77: Tourist destination built by slave labor and ungodly hot?

No thanks, I'll stay in New Orleans. It's closer.

Plus I can flash my tits in NOLA. But being since I'm a guy, that doesn't matter much unless I'm on the gay end of Bourbon Street.

/There probably is another name for that neighborhood but I'm too lazy to look it up

Liked them better when they were the Road Warriors.

AngryPanda: These guys built a hotel?

I bet the center pillar is made of glass.

Meanwhile

I think getting a room with huge wall of glass opening up to an ocean reef would be cool.

Then I wondered what would stop the locals from freediving down and watching my wife and I do it. They say that diving is a feature of the hotel, what stops divers from seeing into the rooms? Sure, there are curtains, but isn't the whole point of an underwater bedroom to do it with the ocean behind you?

Could be worse, it could be called LOD 2000

I always thought it was Darth Vader's summer home.

And what's up with Solomon Grundy? Being a zombie is not much of a super power.

Incorrect.

Everyone knows the Hall of Doom looks like Darth Stewie.

bdub77: I call bullshiat. Even if they are zombies I propose they are still subject to the laws of density and flotation. Now granted they don't have to have air in their lungs, but I doubt they would sink to the very bottom.

I think we need to do some tests.

That was my only real gripe about WWZ. Zombies would float, not walk/migrate across the ocean. They would also be picked apart by various sea creatures within a month.

Rev. Skarekroe: Nice to see the early '70s vision of the future is finally coming to fruition.

Just wait until we catch up to the mid-80s vision of the future.

I'm thinking the Mad Max scenario will be in full swing by then.

texdent: Meanwhile, Aquaman remains useless.

Careful, he'll stab you with that pointy hand thingy he has, unless it's been retconned away already.

/oblig
//hot

I cah't wait for this place to be built, so it can be used in an action movie. You know that somewhere writers are drooling over the epic fight scene that can be filmed in one of the underwater rooms, climaxing in the glass being shot out.

Here for the Wrestling and Comics references, leaving satisfied...

/What a rush...

ok, so my first observation/question

only way on/off is by helicopter?

Also, FTA:

"The underwater section is located up to 10 metres deep..."

"The designers, Deep Ocean Technology (DOT), hope the hotel will fulfill holidaymakers' desire to explore the depths of the oceans."

MythDragon: So yeah, you're getting freak-nasty with your wife, just about to deliver the donkey punch, when you look up and see this:

*insta-wilt*

give em the thumbs up

Cool! It can server as a Persian Gulf base for Stingray!

/I'm hot for Marina....Aquamarina......

Sweet design!.

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice...located in...Cincinnati?

loki see loki do: [img.photobucket.com image 500x280]

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice...located in...Cincinnati?

Perhaps it is a centralized location?

Looks like a pretty awesome hotel but I wouldn't really enjoy having to travel to Dubai just to visit it and I cannot think of many other reasons to go to Dubai.

*looks at the pic*
JETSON!

texdent: Meanwhile, Aquaman remains useless.



/hot as an undersea volcano

grimlock1972: *looks at the pic*
JETSON!

Finally, I was trying to think why it looked so damn familiar

The RNC is hosting its convention in Dubai?

NowhereMon: Looks more like a Kamino cloning center to me.


Aaannnndd

Yay, I love stories about crap that probably won't ever be built.
