VIDEO: Saudi Arabia unveils plans for huge oil rig theme park
Saudi Arabia has unveiled its plan for “The Rig”, a 150,000 square metre theme park using an oil and gas platform.
The project, hoped to be a big boon to The Kingdom’s tourism ambitions, is being bankrolled by Public Investment Fund (PIF), a sovereign wealth fund that has taken savings from the nation’s oil sales since the 1970s and is today estimated to be worth $430billion.
The Rig will feature “a number of touristic attractions, including three hotels, world-class restaurants, helipads, and a range of adventurous activities, including extreme sports”, according to the PIF.
