Can we have the source?

LOTR as a separate park or integrated with WB?

There are two more plots left in the Theme Park District. One to the left of WB and one right above SeaWorld.

If Disney is coming, it could be the one above SeaWorld cause that is a bigger plot

Word is that Miral signed both Disney AND Lord Of The Rings in addition to Harry Potter!

Must watch! Interview with Miral CEO Mohamed Al Zaabi.

My assumption is that SeaWorld will be the last theme park on Yas. The rest of the land will be filled with family-friendly condos.

Aldar Properties has launched the AED1.15 billion ($310 million) Yas Park Gate residential development, which will complement the existing communities and feature 508 new homes spanning over 255,000 sq m.

The Mediterranean-style gated community, which will be located on the doorstep of Yas Park - a first-of-its-kind family and recreational activity park in Abu Dhabi - is a natural progression in the development of the second phase of North Yas. Construction of Yas Park Gate is due to begin in Q1, 2023, with handovers expected to commence in Q1, 2026.

In October 2020, an anonymous buyer purchased a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, known as Stan, for $31.8 million, the most expensive fossil ever purchased at auction. For two years, the bones disappeared from the public eye, leaving paleontologists concerned about the potential loss to science—until now.

For National Geographic, reporter Michael Greshko has revealed the dinosaur will be housed in a new natural history museum in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

National Geographic's Greshko, who broke the story on Stan's new home, found Stan using United States' shipping and trade records. He identified a shipment worth $31,847,500—Stan's exact sale price—that was exported from New York to the UAE in May 2021. On March 23, 2022, Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism confirmed Stan's new home would be in the new Natural History Museum of Abu Dhabi, which is currently under construction and slated to open in 2025, per National Geographic.
