    Hello, is this the Qatar water park support line? I’m stuck on level 17 in the north east block. People are piling up behind me. Get us out of here!

    The good thing is, they only need to put water in the top third, the bottom 2 thirds are lubricated by vomit.

      Efforts at containment were in vain, because this metastasized theme park is only a symptom. The real organism permeates the ground. It’s like a fungus - the mushrooms are only its fruit. All theme parks in North America are part of the same network. (Except for Six Flags Over Texas, which is a convergent mimic species. And sucks.) This is why Eurodisney and Tokyo Disneyland struggled for ages. Same reason pines couldn’t be transplanted to New Zealand. It’s a whole different environment we’re blind to because it’s inside a fucking rock.

      This colony in Qatar has taken hold, but it’s reaching deeper than any prior example. It’s reaching deeper than current equipment can measure. If we just dynamited this whole thing, we cannot guess where it would emerge next. We’re more worried about it making contact with the North American infestation and exploding throughout the world. The current plan is to provide more scaffolding in hopes this ridiculous jumble of tubing continues growing in the middle of fuckoff nowhere and burns out its resources.

    This can’t be a real park. How would you even get to the waterslides, what stair system would work with this?

      it’s real and if it didn’t already look dystopian enough, everything is oil themed for some fucking reason.

      I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn’t finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.

        Bonkers. I guess if you can dream it you can build it.Still this really is a waste of resources.

        Announced: 04 Oct 2017; Construction Start: 04 May 2019. Timeline matches then I think.

        260 Qatari Riyal = 72 USD. Imagine what it’d cost if the victims’ families were properly compensated:

        Also a comment from March on Theme Park Investigator:

        The park will never fully open, since the main contractor did not pay the suppliers. All are refusing to return to finish their works. It’s a shame as it would have been an amazing park.

        Then there are photos from May alleging various rides are not open.

    All I can think is it has to be a massive pain in the ass to do maintenance. You’d have to shut down the whole park and remove a bunch of unrelated slides to fix anything on one ride.

      So you have to shut down The Fractionator, Extruder, Cracker, and Vaporizer

    I’m curious about the bottom left slide. It kinda looks like some dumbass kid could maybe manoeuvre themself in such a way to grab the edge and hoik theirself over
