Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.

DUBAI, UAE, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohammed Al Habbai, CEO of DUBAILAND(R), a member of Tatweer, and Laurent Jeanjean, Vice President of Universal Studios Dubailand(TM), a member of Tatweer, broke ground today for the seven million sq. ft. Universal Studios Dubailand(TM).

Cheering them on were future inhabitants of three of the five Lands that will shape the AED 4.6 billion Universal Studios Dubailand(TM) theme park. Star spectators included Woody and Winnie Woodpecker from Surf City Boardwalk(TM), a menacing Raptor from Epic Adventures(TM), and two fierce Nubian Guards from the Land of Legendary Heroes(TM).

Hollywood, bustling with energy and bursting with glitz and glamour, and New York, bold and romantic as it appears in classic films, will comprise the remaining two Lands at Universal Studios Dubailand(TM).

Laurent Jean Jean, Vice President of Universal Studios Dubailand(TM), said: "We are proud to announce the ground breaking of Universal Studios Dubailand(TM), the premiere theme park in the Middle East and the star of DUBAILAND(R)."

When completed in December 2010, Universal Studios Dubailand(TM) will provide its guests from all over the globe with one-of-a-kind-in-the-world thrills when they Ride The Movies(TM).

They will discover music, dining, shopping, movies and more awaiting them just outside the theme park gates. And they will find enough electrifying memories to last a lifetime, just steps away from your luxuriously appointed rooms in one of the magnificently themed on-site hotels or comfortable residential communities of Universal City Dubailand(TM).

Universal Studios Dubailand(TM) will join the family of world-renowned theme parks in Hollywood, Florida, Japan and Singapore.
