What's the SCP number for this abomination
I think the folks that were sent to give it a number are still sliding down the twisting oblivion
I want to get off Mr Bone's Wild Ride.
MBS’s wild ride… (limb from limb)
If it weren’t for the millions of gallons of water that I’m sure are wasted in the middle of the desert, this honestly looks like so much fun.
I doubt much of the water is wasted, though a tiny bit of spillage and a bit more evaporation is expected. The rest is pumped back to the top, as it would be hard to source fresh water fast enough to just waste it.
I wouldn’t say that the water loss is tiny. I’m assuming average temperatures between 90-100° F when operating and low humidity (<30%) and I found a source saying that the city of pheonix estimated that an Olympic swimming pool loses 2500-5000 gallons of water per month. That has mostly to do with surface area but I’m assuming they have at least one of those pools in the park, maybe multiple. Could be up to 15,000 gallons/month just for pools alone.
Then we talk about the water slides which, if you’ve ever been on a water slide, you know that they waste water. Water leaking from the slides may be gallons an hour and the agitation of the water will speed up evaporation. I’d say each slide loses somewhere around 10-20 gallons an hour as a guess. You multiply that by 15 slides and you’re getting 150 gallons per hour, 12,000 gallons a day.
So not to put it lightly but this one park could be losing over a million gallons of water a year. Easily. And in a desert that’s nothing to scoff at.
I did all my math before researching but I found an article from the guardian that uses very similar numbers. Mine are higher but this park is also bigger.
Evaporation takes away a lot more than you'd guess, it'll be a lot.
They could just use seawater and call it good
Better, in fact. You wouldn't need to treat seawater as much. If you're anywhere near an ocean, you can just flush it back every few days and refill. Cruise ship swimming pools are done this way.
You'd have to make sure all those slides are coated in something that salt won't destroy.
Looks like kowloon walled water park
It bothers me that the name of the park encourages you to pronounce either "Aqua" or "Quatar" incorrectly
Can’t wait for the YT videos exploring these abandoned Saudi mega projects.
How long, 30 years? Over or under?
holy shit! this is the most dystopian-looking amusement/water park that i have ever seen! more like BEmusement park
Less so now that it's finished construction, but still:

Also, all that oil money, and they can't seem to hire a photographer who knows how focus works.
Hello, I'm stuck in the west block of the east tower right on level 28... Helpppppp
DRR...DRR...DRR...
Can't wait to waste 100 hours of my life trying to reach the top of this trackmania map
I said it once I'll say it again that's the centrifuge brainproject of aquaparks
I hope they play Yakety Sax while sliding down that.
It looks like the cover of an R. L. Stine book.
