F1-X Dubai

F1-X Dubai was a proposed theme park dedicated to Formula One. It would have been the first official F1 theme park and was to be built by Union Properties close to the Dubai Autodrome as part of the MotorCity section of Dubailand. Union Properties obtained the exclusive rights to build such parks, budgeting $360 million for the Dubai site and originally having plans for sites also in Europe and the Far East. The amount that Union Properties borrowed for the whole project was around $1.6 billion.There were to have been three bespoke roller coasters on the site, intended to simulate the experience of driving an F1 car. The theme park area was designed to feel like an F1 paddock. Both of these factors were helped by the fact that several leading F1 teams were involved with the design and development of the park. 270 hours of productions were also planned to form a full schedule of entertainment within the park.In March 2009, it was reported that the site's originally planned opening in the third quarter of that year would be delayed as banks and other investors had pulled funding for the Dubailand project, of which it was to be a part.In July 2010, Bernie Ecclestone stated that the park was "not happening", possibly cancelling the project. As of April 2014, the official MotorCity website still bears a message claiming that the park was scheduled to open in 2010.On December 18, 2016, Union Properties announced that it is reviving the F1-X Dubai theme park.A similar project, Ferrari World, opened in neighbouring emirate Abu Dhabi in November 2010.

Dubai Motor City
Dubai Motor City

Dubai Motor City is a property development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by Union Properties (a UAE based property development company). The development is based on a motor-sport theme and includes residential units, business towers, motor-sports facilities, retail and a theme park. The key components of Dubai Motor City are: Dubai Autodrome - A 5.39 km FIA certified track which opened in October 2004. The first Dubailand attraction to ever open. UpTown MotorCity - A low-rise residential apartment development including recreational areas, parks and schools. Green Community MotorCity - Residential development consisting of family villas, townhouses, and bungalows as well as luxury terraced apartments. Business Park MotorCity - Office space in several high rise towers and retail space including automobile showrooms and other automobile related shops. F1-X Dubai - A Formula One theme park.Apart from Dubai Autodrome which was opened in 2004 the remaining developments within MotorCity were due to be completed in 2009. However, in February 2009 Union Properties announced that the F1-X theme park would be put on hold and delayed due to the global financial crisis and problems with obtaining credit. Handover of UpTown MotorCity to owners started in phases during March 2009 and all residential units are now fully handed over. Dubai Motor City now hosts a range of retail outlets ranging from a large supermarket to a various restaurants and other outlets. Since the Global Financial Crisis decimated Dubai's economy in late 2008 work on some aspects of the project has completely ground to a halt, leaving the Marriott Hotel and The F1-X Theme Park half built.
