I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn't finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.

260 Qatari Riyal = 72 USD. Imagine what it’d cost if the victims’ families were properly compensated:

Also a comment from March on Theme Park Investigator:

The park will never fully open, since the main contractor did not pay the suppliers. All are refusing to return to finish their works. It’s a shame as it would have been an amazing park.

Then there are photos from May alleging various rides are not open.
