According to this article on The Holywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog there are plans to build in Abu Dhabi a Warner Bros. World theme park that will have six themed worlds these are:
- Metropolis and Gotham City
As you can see from the concept art this world within the theme park feature skyscrapers, rides etc inspired by many of the villains and other characters from the now world renowned DC comic book universe such as from this concept art even I can pick out that there's a ride with green question marks all over it inspired by "The Riddler", there's another ride inspired by "The Joker" and there looks to be a ride or a restaurant type thing inspired by "Mr. Freeze".
- Bedrock
- Cartoon Junction
- Dynamite Gulch
- Warner Bros. Plaza
So not only will this theme park that also according to this same article on Heat Vision's blog will be built on Yas Island and will have 29 rides inspired by the DC comic book universe characters and villians but also characters inspired from Hanna-Barbera characters and from "Looney Tunes" characters, shows and other attractions on the 1.65 million square feet that this will occupy.
This is according to this same article on Heat Visions blog pencilled in to open in 2018.
It's also said in Heat Vision's article that in the worlds: The Cartoon Gulch, Bedrock and Cartoon Junction that these areas will draw on Hanna-Barbera inspired characters as well as characters from the "Looney Tunes", but its also said in this same article that both of these worlds will have characters like Scooby-Doo and Bugs Bunny walking around.
And it's also said in this same article on Heat Vision's blog that the world of Warner. Bros. Plaza will focus on the era of old Hollywood and the era in which characters from "Looney Tunes" and "Scooby-Doo" were first created.
So this sounds like to me that this will be like Disneyland with a shitload more money poured into it and possibly on steroids.
