CONCEPT ART: Disneyland Dubai Was Planned to Include a Giant Castle, ‘Star Wars’ Tomorrowland, and Cars Land

Leaked concept art for a possible Disneyland Dubai project that never saw the light of day has been circulating online. The art is a few years old now, and Disney never announced a Dubai resort, but it’s interesting to look at what could have been.

The art reveals a giant, sprawling castle partially inspired by the European-style Disney castles seen in the states, but with some rounded turrets more reminiscent of Agrabah. At the entrance is a large Mickey planter, standard to Disney Parks.

To the right is a “Star Wars”-inspired version of Tomorrowland. Instead of Astro Orbiter, the spinner ride encircles a small version of the Death Star. The rest of the land’s architecture is sleek and rounded like the buildings of Naboo or another “Star Wars” planet. Here you can also clearly see a raised train track cutting through the land instead of around it, leading back to the Main Street train station.

Across from Tomorrowland, the concept art is mostly taken over by a cluster of flat buildings. But in front of these buildings are colorful structures, including one clear yellow and blue ball: the iconic Pixar ball and Luxo Jr. lamp. This could be a Pixar land or attraction.

In the top left corner is Cars Land, which already exists at Disney California Adventure. Orange traffic cones are clearly visible in the rocky terrain of Radiator Springs.

In the top right, a river worms through a lush jungle. Boats are visible on the river, and this very well could have been Disneyland Dubai’s version of the Jungle Cruise.
