In late February 2008, just a few days before the opening of the new Aquatica Water Park in Orlando, Busch Entertainment Corporation announced that they are planning to build four new theme parks in Dubai, following in the footsteps of Universal Studios.
Working in conjunction with the United Arab Emirates Nakheel property development company, this will be Busch Entertainment Corporation's first project outside of the USA.
The plan is to mirror their parks in Florida and build a SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove and Aquatica water park on The Palm Jebel Ali, one of three man-made palm-shaped islands being built off the Dubai coastline.
The outline of the parks will even be in the shape of a killer whale.
The resort will also have hotels, spas, restaurants and shops and the first phase will open in 2012.
