This is a massive site at the end of Arabian Gulf Street on the opposite side of the Symphony Site.The site billboard does not show much details.I guess excavation works are underway....Check if any more details are available...

I don't like it, it looks soo retro in my opinion.

Pretty good if it's the biggest arcade center. Isn't this owned by Al-Sanousee (our minister of media)? If it is Allah e3eena l2ana ibyaakil hawaa ma3a istijwaab Imsalam Al-Baraak.

safqa_tijariya agree with you ... and Mu9ai3ibun yes its true ... this place somehow became the property of al sanousee ... :P

hope they kick him out of office soon ..

skouli this is underconstruction, digging the site and piling, etc... hope he makes use of the beach ;)

al sanousee is saying to the parliament members "BRING IT ON" <<-- i like the movie, and i like sanousee hes got balls ;p LOOOOL

difference75, let me make this clear 2 u somethin,

alsanuesee did many things 2 q8i media and he is a good guy, but some how some people in the parliament made his reputation bad just 4 their own good, just like the old minister of tijara and sena3a al teweel he was a good guy 2,
anyways all i wanted 2 say is that the shobeez land is owned by al sanusee, and he didn't break any law, he didn't do anything wrong, and he does own the shobez land, don't beleive the newspapers talk and all the that crap their all lies. like i said some people r trying 2 take him down 4 their own good, u just don't know it cuz that's what the parliament members want, they want u not 2 know the real truth

wala el9ara7a elsan3osee mayestahel, ma sewat 3ale 9ar wazer, sawo 7arame wehwa el9ara7a rayta be'9a

He's only discussing a trivial subject so it really wouldn't affect the people's comprehension of the project.

y'all are gonna love this.

the design has been changed and given a more modern, curvilinear look. instead of the more "contemporary retro" design above, it now has a more glassy, metallic, sleek concept. i think this one's MUCH better.

enjoy.

I guess there were few allegations against Mr. Sanousi ?? The land is his or governments ?? is he still in a MP ?? i guess this is a political move !!

CrazY
December 23rd, 2006, 03:12 PM
^^ yeah, the land is the government's controlled by the tourism thing, and well the land rented was waaaay underpriced by the meter squared so they cancelled they project, but when he quit the minister of information job,,
well we'll wait and see :lol:

Kuwaiti
December 26th, 2006, 09:48 PM
another reason why it got cancelled, besides what crazy said about pricing, is that this was meant to be a youth entertainment fair.

but the owner wanted to make hotels, malls, etc. he forgot about the theme park issues, and concentrated on the mall

so he went against the contract.

its like the bowling centre. the main feature of the bowling centre is the bowling lanes. but instead, the main feature became the hotel and shopping mall...


its like a guy who wants to build a school. he ends up putting a mall and hotel inside the school, and a few classrooms in the side. its against the main idea, so contract is terminated.

oh well... :lol:

Foxtrot
December 27th, 2006, 08:23 AM
Uhmm.. i was familiar with the project .. COSMO, their own bowling center was going to be part of the project, then they had cinema and restaurants, the normal mall concept. Never knew the project was for a youth center. That was suppose to be Brain Storms first mega project .!!

ahaa,, i know what hes talking about!!

exuse me but the dolphin pools project is a totally different story than the showbiz story, and when the dolphin project doing the extension into the water, some water pipe that goes all the way 2 failaka was broken, and the company in charge of the project now has some problem 2 deal with in the court of law with the government cuz of braking the law besides the water pipe problem (and about the pipe i'm not sure if it's a water pipe but i'm sure that it's a very important pipe that goes all the way 2 failaka)

but the showbiz project was cancelled only cuz of the company not going according 2 what it agreed on in the contract it made with the government (the BOT contract), but according 2 what skoli said, i guess that the showbiz is back in action.

what ever the case was they sould give the serioues people the chance to work eaven if they did some mistakes . you know that there are a lot of developmet projects on hold or has been postponed or even canceled for very silly reason. thats whay we are behind the others gulf states where we can be better than them with some effort but more honesty from the incharge people

The construction going on near showbiz is not showbiz. It looks like its inside the Showbiz plot from the main street, but its not.

Sorry to say the project is still on hold. The construction wall and sign are still up because the authorities (police) came to the site suddenly last year and ordered all workers out. No one went in ever since and hence why the site looks like work is still in progress. :bash:
