The weirdest projects
Star Trek Theme park, Aqaba, Jordan
Reports in 2011 claimed that Steven Spielberg’s cult film Star Trek was to be honoured with a theme park in Jordan.
Complete with hotels, theatres, dining and shopping, the park would honour Jordan as a “crossroads of civilisation”. 
Far from picking the country at random, it was relayed in the reports that the $1.5bn project was back by the country’s King Abdullah II, who is a “well known trekkie”, having made a cameo appearance in a 1995 episode of Star Trek Voyager.
‘The Baghdad Zoo & Entertainment Experience’
A $500m park encompassing Baghdad’s existing zoo, the project is backed by California-based developer, Ride & Show Engineering, and it tipped to be the Disney Land of Iraq. Now on hold.
