Dubai architect seeks funding for herbie theme park

A Dubai-based architect is seeking investors to launch a theme park in Dubai based around the famous Disney VW Bug Herbie, Arabian Business has learned.

Graham Henderson, owner of design firm Palmerstone, hopes to attract financing to build the project in Dubai after initial plans to bring the themed venue to Abu Dhabi fell through.

“The people in Abu Dhabi weren’t terrible supportive so we want to bring it to Dubai,” he said.

“I have a consignment of the original Herbie cars which are coming from a private collector… I think it would work really well at Dubai Autodrome. They can’t finance it but there is certain land available on the track we could use.”
