Wait, what? There's going to be a Bollywood-themed amusement park in Dubai

Visitors will shoot dacoits on the Sholay ride, and feast like a king at the Mughal-e-Azam restaurant!

Trust Dubai to come up with a thing like this.

A Bollywood Parks is in the making, and it's an amusement park "built and designed for the billions of Bollywood fans living in close proximity to Dubai," says CEO Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi.

Just what will Bolly fans do there?

Well, there's a Sholay ride for starters, where they'll get to shoot dacoits, and the Don ride, where they'll be chased by the police. It's up to visitors to decide which side of the law they want to be on!

Then, there's the Mughal-e-Azam restaurant, which ups the ante on fine dining and promises a shahi or royal dining experience.

What's Bollywood without its music, and the park also delivers on the song and dance front. At the Rock On stadium, there will be live music, dancing and DJs, a train top is being constructed to serve as a performance stage (Chaiya Chaiya, anyone?) and Bollywood musicals blaring hit numbers all day.

The parks opens its doors in October.

Fantastic idea for keeping Dubai's till ticking...This will be massive...Looks gigantic...As an Indian I feel so proud of my more than 5,000 year old heritage...Thank you god to have not sent me to be born in countries where you have to live on borrowed heritage and your real heritage is deliberately killed.
