Visitors will need to hop on a ferry, yacht, plane or helicopter just to step foot in the bonkers park that is practically throwing away unbeliveable amounts of cash all to attract tourists.

Described on their official website as: "The true scale of adventure.

"The world's first tourism destination on an offshore platform inspired by the design of offshore oil platforms."

The Rig is set to be built on a mega area larger than 300,000m square.

Including a water activities centre, an extreme sports and adventure park, amusements and even a diving complex.

One of the restaurants places its guests hundreds of feet in the air.

The five-star hotels have plenty of rooms overlooking the water as the ridiculous arena seats thousands high up into the sky as music shows and celebrity guests reverberate across the park.

The Rig is being led by the Oil Park Development Company and it is in line with the Saudi Public Investment Fund Strategy to "solidify the Kingdom’s position as a leading tourist destination known for its unique landmarks".

It is one of the many ambitious projects in Saudi Arabia as the kingdom is spending £1trillion as it seeks to ditch its reliance on oil.
