Showdown: Sharjah VS Dubai ; who will win?

Can you see it? Dubai and Sharjah are in fierce competition!! "Dubai is building the tallest building in the world". "Sharjah responds by building Huge Ferris Wheel".. "Dubai is building the longest Rail in the world", "Sharjah responds by starting road works and never completing them"(They seem to be going for the record of taking the longest time to build a road, they certainly beat Dubai by a landslide with that one.) "Dubai Builds an Island that can be seen from the moon"... "Sharjah Sets up a Shabby looking cirus"...that FERRIS WHEEL caught my attention though... but I'm afraid that's all it did. As some of you may have noticed, Sharjah has recently built a huge air conditioned, state of the art ferris wheel, along the Qasba'a canal. WHY? If any of you can help me answer this question , I'd be grateful, because I am absolutely clueless. Is it for tourism? Is it for sightseeing? or is it just extra cash? and there's also a shabby looking circus right next to it. To me, it looks like a sample, no, a miniature sample of an amusement park. I dont know what they're expecting this project to do? Are they expecting it to attract tourists from Japan, the US, even Paris to come to Sharjah to witness and experience the Huge Air Conditioned Ferris Wheel, and have a blast in the shabby circus? If they're planning on doing any marketing , I would be their man! I got some catch phrases lined up, this one would be a good radio commercial : " If you're planning to go to Paris , then don't!! Come to the Huge Ferris Wheel in Sharjah, and you'll witness the whole Paris Experience , It's cheaper, It's better, and It's Air-Conditioned too" ... " Do you feel like going round and round, Vertically, in the air, and without sweating while you're up there? , Sharjah's Ferris Wheel is the place to go" ... Here's some for the Circus : " Feeling depressed, We've got something that fits you're mood, the Sharjah Shabby Circus is just for you" .. " Tired of going to classy places, want a place to make you feel at home, Come to the Sharjah Shabby Circus, located near you , and your shabby home" " The Sharjah Shabby Circus is calling all people who are sick of civilization , and want to experience something really weird"
