No, it's not 1 April.
Saudi Arabia really has just unveiled a plan to convert an old oil rig into a fun park.
Imaginatively called The Rig, the oil and gas-themed attraction will cover 150,000 square metres offering "extreme rides", according to its developer, the country's Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Fresh from buying English football club Newcastle United, PIF continues to demonstrate a willingness to diversify away from oil — and even use it as inspiration to part tourists from their dollars.
