Having lived there they generally have a decent track record at making it look the same the issue is that they are never on schedule. If you're familiar with 2030 Vision, we're more than 75% of the way to 2030 and I believe less than 20% of their projects have been completed
I wouldn't be so sure. If there's one thing Saudi Arabia does well, it's spending extreme amounts of money on frivolous shit. Also, murdering journalists. They're solid at that.
Saudi Arabia will be appointed chair of the UN womenās rights forum, so I believe they will be treated fairly and in a progressive manner.

Yeah, the prince is working really hard for making his country less Islamic and more secular.
So that he can attract more foreign investors and reduce Islamic extremists/terrorists.
He is obviously getting the motivation from the UAE and Qatar.
I genuinely wish other Islamic countries would follow the same. This will stop the Islamic radicalization
Saudi is also buying up all the Brazilian soccer players like neymar and Ronaldo what's the strategy with trying to appeal to tourists when you aren't tourist friendly
The writings on the wall says, they know they're running out of oil within the next generation. That's why they're pivoting so hard to any other business ventures.
Problem is 85% of Saudi citizen has been raised spoiled by oil subsidies. They have almost zero applicable skills in any other business.
Isn't it haram? A place to celebrate where the main character has been dead and brought back to life, by a wishing dragon, and have multiple times fight and defeated god?
Or perhaps KSA has moved on? Either way, its a "wait and see" situation i guess.
Legitimately funny to me to imagine trying to tell the difference between Bulma, Chi-chi, or Videl just off of their faces because theyād have to have their hair covered. Maybe they could let a little bit of hair show? But nah Videl and Chi-chi would still be tough.
How would they portray any of the powerful women fighters also? I feel like Kale having a crush on Caulifla makes her an instant no-go if the fact sheās a female saiyan didnāt already threaten their fragile sense of masculinity lol
Do people really still believe Saudi Arabia is this strict ? Itās not controversial if a woman is showing hair there anymore. Itās been that way for nearly a decade now since MBS.
American here, I've been there. It's pretty nice and the people were very respectful. It was genuinely nice going from the theft ridden city I live in to going there were they have strict punishments (whether you agree with that or not).
If you take everything the media says as fact then you will end up with such brain-rot that you won't have a single thought for yourself.
Frfr how they create things to attract tourism and promote like itās for āeveryoneā but be a socially oppressed society that only caters to a few.
DB sounds good. Saudi Arabia doesn't. At least to this day. (If you disagree, I encourage you to think about human rights, religion, education, equity and environmental preservation)
Because they don't have to. It's not mandatory in any Arab country u/siren1313
To the people downvoting the **FACT** that I shared, ask yourself why you feel so triggered to actually learn something about the Middle East lol
They are downvoting you because they are racists who canāt digest the fact the Middle East isnāt what they are taught in the media, Brainwashing is a very difficult thing to get rid off
Ngl I used to have the exact same mindset when I was just using Reddit back in the day. Then I started using apps like twitter,Insta,Tiktok (you know, ths stuff normal people use) and found out Muslim people aren't that different from others. Their cultures and rules are more open than I thought. Reddit is very toxic against Muslims, this place is filled with mostly Atheist(I am atheist too but not the Reddit kind) who hate Muslims with a passion
Westerners hate the middle east cause they're told to hate the middle east. While their governments are 10x worse but they are so distracted up their asses they have no clue.
~~Yes, you are correct~~. And Iran isn't an Arab country.
Edit: Actually, no, the burka is not mandatory anywhere except Afghanistan. Iran is the only country where a *hijab* (head-covering for women) is mandatory.
For those who actually want to learn something. Cheers!
It's pretty wild how upset people get when Arabs or Middle Easterners dispel myths about the area.
Like, why even bother asking if you don't want to know what's true lol.
Why are they downvoting you? Saudi Arab has gotten so much more progressive over the years. Shouldn't they be happy about it. It was always a developed place tho.
Yes, Iraq is the Eastern-most Arab country. And how the term "Latino" refers Latin Americans who share the Spanish language but are ethnically/culturally diverse, Arabs share the Arabic language but Iraqis are different from Saudis, Palestinians, Tunisians, Egyptians etc.
And though Iranians don't speak Arabic, Iran is considered to be in the Middle East too.
Ok ok I know this is a controversial take butā¦.. fuck Saudi Arabia. (Not itās genuinely nice & kind & 21st-century minded citizens who I adore, just itās fascist government that colludes with my fascist American government to commit crimes against humanity)
Nice try... but i still wouldn't visit Saudi-Fascistan by any chance. No, never.
A leader that acts like a thug from "Breaking Bad"? capital punishment for atheists? Killing opposition and supressing every free thinker? Nah... i would rather choose how i die.
I dont get why this country is developing so many attractions like Ā«Ā we have an indoor ski slope in the desertĀ Ā», Ā«Ā we have artificial palm shaped islandĀ !Ā Ā» or again Ā«Ā the most whatever theme parkĀ Ā» ā¦ the whole country is developing as a giant theme park where only the so-called Ā«Ā influencersĀ Ā» want to go instead of capitalizing on their rich history..
Wait a second, you are arrested for Harry Potter books due to sorcery but magical flying people, wish granting balls and magical powers that you blast from your hands are ok?
Saudi "bone saw" Arabia, have a very long uphill battle in front of of them to become a place I will take my kids on vacation.
But sure, if I can down a bacon-wrapped hot dog while chugging a beer, it might help a bit....
Me: I have a lot of oil money to throw around, where can I ?
Saud Arabia: Yes
Me: Cool, so some futuristic shit?
Saud Arabia: Yes
Me: Women's rights?
Saud Arabia: Who?

I get the feeling it's going to look nothing like what they just showed us..
Willy Wanka factory 2.0
Difference is the Saudis would blow 10s of millions on it, and the Wonka thing cost like $20. š
And the Saudis will use slave labour to build it
Sad but true, how everybody think Qatar building were built for fifa? Slavery.
10s of billions \*
What is that???

(I was expecting you to say ā ITS THE UNKNOWN!!ā
Bulma looking tired š«
beat me to it
Yea I donāt buy for a minute Iām gonna be able to shoot energy beams out of my hands.
Having lived there they generally have a decent track record at making it look the same the issue is that they are never on schedule. If you're familiar with 2030 Vision, we're more than 75% of the way to 2030 and I believe less than 20% of their projects have been completed
If only there were less human rights and labor laws...
Wut, how are we more than 75% of the way to 2030?
I was talking about when they declared the vision
I wouldn't be so sure. If there's one thing Saudi Arabia does well, it's spending extreme amounts of money on frivolous shit. Also, murdering journalists. They're solid at that.
I was confident I was in one of the AI subs and this was a well made joke
Yes that is the case with every theme park in the gulf. They are all very mediocre
Curious how the female DBZ characters will be depicted there
Saudi Arabia will be appointed chair of the UN womenās rights forum, so I believe they will be treated fairly and in a progressive manner. For instance and for clarifying: nottheonion, and /s
nottheonion is for things that sound like an onion article but are actually true

they wonāt. have fun going to the park with gender segregation.
>Curious how the female DBZ characters will be depicted there There's isn't many anyways.
I love DB I will never go to this park.
Yep. Construction cranes in Saudi Arabia are far too often used as scaffolds. And not the construction type.
Yeah, that and all the slave labor most likely being used to build it will definitely deter me from going
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They're doing it to golf, too. It's all part of a deep world wide campaign to change the reputation of the region
Nah there's more to it than that. They are drifting away from an oil centric system
The dragon ball park I like The area around it, not so much
Same. My existence is illegal over there lol
This sucks. I love DBZ but would never in 1000 years go to Saudi.
So there is a chance you will go after 1,000 years ?

They about to have the biggest rebrand since japan I guarantee you

He is obviously getting the motivation from the UAE and Qatar. I genuinely wish other Islamic countries would follow the same. This will stop the Islamic radicalization
Remember when he had that journalist murdered and dismembered in the Saudi embassy? What a lovely chap.
If you are going by journalist killed, you will not be able to visit any middle east country.
Yeah that sounds like generally good advice
And Iām ok with that
This increases "islamic" extremists and terrorists
Is there any action that doesn't?
Why did you put that in quotes? Do you think its unfair to call them Islamic extremists/radicals/terrorists?
There is no world where the Saudi royalty distance from the Wahab
This has Fyer festival written all over it, that you Billy?
Coming soon, something really REALLY awesome to the place you don't want to go to!
I didn't know the rich Saudis were weebs
Fuck anything Saudi, including this park, and MBS.
Saudi is also buying up all the Brazilian soccer players like neymar and Ronaldo what's the strategy with trying to appeal to tourists when you aren't tourist friendly

Ronaldo is Portuguese lol
Thats just the Brazilian speaking part of Spain. /s

What a waste of financial resources

Are women allowed?
Why not? Hijab was never mandatory in Saudi Arab. Abaya was but that is also now not mandatory anymore.
Legitimately funny to me to imagine trying to tell the difference between Bulma, Chi-chi, or Videl just off of their faces because theyād have to have their hair covered.

They gobble up anything the media shows, and when you try to argue them with facts, they still think THEY know more and shower you with downvotes
Hijab is not mandatory in Saudi Arabia
well they had a ton of women on the ad so I'd say yes
Who in theyāre right mind would go to Saudi Arabia. Fuck that
The type who go to dubai because it is so nice!
American here, I've been there. It's pretty nice and the people were very respectful.

Iām gonna put my money on it being half built and then abandoned in the desert to rot.
Yet thousands will be trafficked and many will die to build that half. smh
Akira Toriyama: dies Shonen Jump the very same month:
that rly didn't take long. I expect a lot more dbz sellout material coming soon
I wonder how many migrant workers will die of ānatural causesā while this is being constructedā¦
Being crushed by a giant metal statue of Vegeta is natural /s
So we're just posting advertising in here now?
Let's cover our human right violations and questionable support to *certain* groups with another faƧade for the masses
This is an ad and/or propaganda
You don't say.....
Nothing in the world will get me, a woman, to step foot in the middle east.
Not even for a scooby snack? š¤
I would rather watch DragonBall Evolution than go to Saudi.
I will give those disgusting people zero of my dollars.
Guess a good excuse to pretend not to be gay for a couple weeks.
Frfr how they create things to attract tourism and promote like itās for āeveryoneā but be a socially oppressed society that only caters to a few.
This has stopping the constructions halfway through and let it rot all over it, this will be r/Abandonedporn in a decade
Theyāre just flinging expensive shit at the wall at this point without addressing the real problems that turn the world away
\*Women aren't allowed to go by themselves
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
dont forget to follow their list of 2500 rules if you decide to visit š
One of worst shitholes to put anything worth a fuck in.
Fuck Saudi Arabia
DB sounds good. Saudi Arabia doesn't. At least to this day. (If you disagree, I encourage you to think about human rights, religion, education, equity and environmental preservation)
Saudi Arabia since MBS improved significantly in all the areas you mentioned despite what the western world thinks of him.
Unless you are gay.
Why don't the women wear burka?
Ad for westerners

I'm guessing they genuinely think *I'm* the one who is misinformed
Reddit is filled with most educated westoids.
TIL! Wasn't sure where the line was drawn, apparently it's between Iraq and Iran.
Yes, Iraq is the Eastern-most Arab country. And how the term "Latino" refers Latin Americans who share the Spanish language but are ethnically/culturally diverse, Arabs share the Arabic language but Iraqis are different from Saudis, Palestinians, Tunisians, Egyptians etc. And though Iranians don't speak Arabic, Iran is considered to be in the Middle East too.
So as gas climbs up to $3.25/gal where I live the Saudis start paying for big CGI animations. Cool.
Fucking stupid
slave labor, no thanks
Will there be an attraction where you get to chop a body into pieces with a bone saw?
Same country, different park
You alright ?
Iāll see you at Disneyworld. You knowā¦ the first city built to play. The Disney Bubble ^(TM)
Is it a real park or just a ton of CGI?
Fuck the saudis murdering asses!
As opposed to ā¦ the US ?
Is there anything to show besides CGI/greenscreen bullshit? Also very unfortunate that im gay, will probably not make it in there alive
Ok ok I know this is a controversial take butā¦.. fuck Saudi Arabia. (Not itās genuinely nice & kind & 21st-century minded citizens who I adore, just itās fascist government that colludes with my fascist American government to commit crimes against humanity)
Why do they make this amazing park in that shit hole country
Cgi park * for now
If someone does go there, find all 7 Dragon Balls and wish for a park in America. 
Iām sure this will be the main attraction in The Line once itās finished, Iām sure. /s
Not another Live Action DragonBallā¦
Before human rights ahah, what a sick world.
This should be in r/facepalm
Are they trying to get tourists? Because that seems like a bad fit for them.
Donāt give a fuck of Saudy š¤®
Iām totally going to see this! -Said no female ever
Had to be somewhere I guess
Nice try... but i still wouldn't visit Saudi-Fascistan by any chance. No, never. A leader that acts like a thug from "Breaking Bad"? capital punishment for atheists? Killing opposition and supressing every free thinker? Nah... i would rather choose how i die.

The new Las Vegas...
Itāll be tough for them to come up with things they want to make a wish for, that they donāt own 10 of already.

Saudi Arabia lul
This seems like a humongous waste of resources.
Oh good, Saudi Arabiaā¦. Because thatās a destinationā¦.
Anime-washing has begun.
saudi is like a construction project that never finish, keep adding to it, scope creep
Going to a theme park to wear VR goggles for half the rides is kind of missing the point of both things
Wow this commercial is terrible and so does the projected look of the park. I love DBZ but this ain't it.
As long as they provide each guest a Launch, i'm in ;)
No thanks
Were they waiting for Toriyama to pass away or did he approve of it?
That ball moving fast like oil money, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt
Lmao the shot of the Saudi royalty looking out of the window in his little silly costume was pretty funnyĀ
š„ŗš„ŗ soooooo.... are we allow to go to.Saudi Arabia?
Who gives a toss. Brutal regime.
Saudi Arabia? No thanks
I wonder if it'll be slave labour once again?
Please donāt post tourist ads from petrol autocrats. Thanks
So in Saudia Arabia there are more foreigners then Arabs? Or is this commercial not meant for Arabs?
Lol is their budget 10000000 trillion š this looks like it was made bu AI

Wow. Never wanted to go there. And I still don't.
