The Burj Dubai is already one of the tallest buildings built, and it hasn't even been finished yet. The other concepts are just... really bizarre.

Dubai Land is going crazy with their money. They're already building Dubailand. A park 5 times the magnitude of Disney World. It's making me want to go there more and more. I wonder if their economy can handle all these constructions though.

And its not 5 times Disneyworld. Dubailand is a large area. In it, among other things, will be a theme park. A Universal Studios theme park in fact, though it will not be run by US, only endorsed by them. This theme park "will be comparable in size to Universal Studios Orlando" (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=469010) and will also a feature a 4000 room hotel. Meaning that along with Bawandi, Dubailand alone will have a sick amount of capacity for tourists. I cant wait to see Dubai 10 years from now.

i go every summer, i tell u it gets boring after a while, rather, the novelty of dubai. Lol, when i first went there, it was only the desert dune's races and camel rides and Wild Wadi, the water park, im going again this summer, i'll try out the indoor ski-slope. Can't wait for the theme-park :P
and rides to the top of the Burj Dubai!

They're building the world's largest and tallest puppy mill there too! I'm so excited!
