"The 60-acre Six Flags Dubailand will feature 30 to 40 rides, including three to four major coasters. While no rides have been confirmed, Shapiro did say Dubai would be getting major coasters on the order of Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro and X2."

Also, other projects have been mentioned.

"I spoke today to Six Flags President and Chief Executive Mark Shapiro who was in Qatar where he announced plans for a $300-million resort including an amusement/water park, luxury hotel and spa.

Located along the Persian Gulf, the indoor-outdoor 11-acre Six Flags property ????????? much smaller than most amusement parks ????????? will feature thrill rides, roller coasters, water slides, family entertainment and plenty of air conditioning.

Six Flags also expects to announce expansions in Korea, China and India soon, Shapiro said."

I did, Dubai has to have the best of everything. I wish the United States had their economy at the moment.

yea, that kinda jumped out at me. It was Dubai, no roller coasters, and then... BAM! I want the fastest coaster in the world. How many damn records does Dubai want to break? The tallest building in the world (Berj Dubai), nicest hotel in the world (don't know what its called, but I know that its a 7 star hotel. Let me say that again, 7 STAR HOTEL. The highest is 5.), and now the fastest coaster in the world. Crazy. Oh, and the only indoor ski run in the DESERT! The desert is not meant to have snow, there contradicting NATURE! lolz
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.
