Opening during the recession was clearly not a great thing for Stargate, a kids-oriented entertainment center in Zabeel Park, Dubai. There are many vacant shop spaces, and many others ready to open but unstocked and unstaffed. Still, if not in terms of retail, Stargate has much to offer. There are plenty of games, a 5D cinema, a 3D cinema, an airgun shooting range, and a semi-indoor roller coaster. And those are just the attractions I could visit for my age. It's kind of hard to miss, as the five domes around the central pyramid can be seen from quite a ways away, and it is the central attraction of Zabeel Park. Three domes are made to look like planets, one like the moon, and one like a stereotypical UFO. Clearly someone put a lot of effort into the whole scifi getup, complete with walkway tubes, starfleet-like staff uniforms and neon lights.
