Six Flags Qiddiya City, the first Six Flags theme park outside of North America, has opened in Saudi Arabia.
Launched on 31 December, the new park is home to 28 rides and attractions, including the world's longest, fastest and tallest roller coaster.
Located just 40 minutes from Riyadh, Six Flags Qiddiya City combines immersive entertainment with innovative technology across its six themed lands.
Highlights include Falcons Flight; the world's tallest, fastest and longest coaster, as well as Iron Rattler; the world's tallest tilt coaster, and Spitfire; the world's tallest inverting coaster.
Intamin, a creator of record-breaking amusement rides, partnered with Qiddiya to design Falcons Flight.
"Six Flags is proud to announce the opening of Six Flags Qiddiya City in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia, a landmark project that will redefine entertainment in the region," said John Reilly, president and CEO of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.

"This world-class destination combines cutting-edge, record-breaking attractions, immersive experiences for all ages, and the signature thrills that have made Six Flags a global leader.
"We look forward to welcoming guests from across the kingdom and beyond to experience the future of fun at Qiddiya City."
Adult tickets to Six Flags Qiddiya City start from $85, while children's tickets start from $70.
The new Six Flags park is part of Qiddiya City – the Qiddiya giga-project's destination for entertainment, sports and cultural experiences.
Attractions at Qiddiya City will include the Aquarabia water park, the world’s first Dragon Ball theme park, a gaming and esports district, and an immersive motorsport circuit.
Aquarabia is over 95 percent finished, as confirmed late last month.
Six Flags Qiddiya City is a key part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy away from oil, boost tourism, and create new leisure and entertainment destinations.
