Default Cable ski park in Abu Dhabi

There's meant to be a cable ski park being built in Abu Dhabi. Anyone know where it is? I've been told by different people that its near the Cricket Stadium or on Yas Island.

I see they've started advetising for jobs there so it cant be far off completion...

Have used them quite a bit on the past and they are awesome, cheaper than running a boat too (well all the other ones around the world are cheaper....)

The International Shooting Club near ARG will have a cable driven wakeboarding lake - completion date was supposed to be Ramadan last year, then May this year, now after Ramadan this year . The lake was a finished motocross track before the client changed their mind over what they wanted!

The facility will be very good (when it gets finished)

Cool thanks for the reply, seems the cricket stadium was the most correct rumour. Looking forward till its open, prob not best to use it in the summer anyhows, surely the water would be hot as balls judging by the sea right now.

Ive used the one in SIngapore and its real good. Even exploded my knee on the slider there.

Late reply on this topic... But check out http://www.alforsan.com/
There is a wakeboarding cable park there being built at the moment... Should be open around summer and that area will be packed with other sport activities such as a snow dome for snowboarding and skiing, shooting, go karting, offroad rallying etc... Thats all I can say for now
Follow me on Twitter if you want to know the up to date info www.twitter.com/n989
