Roller coaster, bungee jumping, skydiving – Oil rig as a theme park…Wait, whaaat??? Saudi Arabia go way far to win over other countries to get the trophy of world’s leading tourism destination. One of their creative ideas is using its petroleum industry as inspiration for a brand new tourist attraction! Engineers there love making surprises, we get that.
The plan was announced to convert an oil rig into a “extreme park” and “The Rig” resort in the Arabian Gulf. Apparently, from the news, including CNN travel this all will be about 150,000 square meters.
How cool is that to have roller coaster rides, bungee jumping and skydiving at the same place! 3 hotels with 800 rooms and 11 restaurants are also placed on the connected platforms just right next to the most exciting and thrilling activities.
By the way, “The Rig” resort/extreme park suppose to be accessible by boat, fancy yacht, or even by helicopter…or if you found of swimming but it could take you a while to get there 😉
