Dubai Parks and Resort won't open its first phase of theme parks until October, but it's already started work on phase two. The resort just announced that it has started construction on Six Flags Dubai. The park is scheduled to open in late 2019 and will feature six roller coasters among its 27 attractions. But the most interesting thing about the first Six Flags park in the Middle East might be the names of its six themed lands: Thrillseeker Plaza, Magic Mountain, Fiesta Texas, Great Escape, Great Adventure, and Great America. That's right. Five of the park's lands will be themed to other Six Flags theme parks.
In addition to the Dubai park, construction recently started on a Six Flags park in China.
