Design
Six Flags Dubailand was designed by the Goddard Group- the Los Angeles-based design firm responsible for many popular attractions at Six Flags theme parknnmbs, including the Glow in the Park Parades and Monster Mansion. Design began in May 2008 and continued until November 2008.
Retired Six Flags General Manager Steve Calloway served as Executive Producer for Six Flags overseeing the day to day creation of the park's concept, and the Goddard Group's Taylor Jeffs served as the park's Creative Director.
While the details of the park's design have not been officially released to the public, insiders have reported that the park follows a traditional hub-and-spoke model with several innovations, including first-of-their-kind approaches to the ticketing, entry, and exit experiences. It has also come out that the park does not have lands themed to places or times, but instead designed to a collection of emotions.
Many themed entertainment industry veterans worked on the project, including James Adams, Christopher Smith, Greg Pro, James Michaelson, James Wong, Scott Sherman, Lawrence Nelson, Victor Post, Bob Baranick, Scott Wren, and Greg Maletic.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“I begin with a design for a hearse.
For Christ’s sake not black—
nor white either—and not polished!
Let it be weathered—like a farm wagon—”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
