Six Flags Qiddiya opens doors in 2023 covering an area of 79 acres

Qiddiya’s Investment Company (QIC), in partnership with Intamin Amusement Rides, has kicked off the design process for the Falcon’s Flight, the signature attraction of Six Flags Qiddiya, Saudi Arabia.

Six Flags Qiddiya will be one of the key assets to be unveiled as part of the first phase of Qiddiya when it opens doors in 2023. It will feature 28 uniquely themed rides and attractions across six lands: The City of Thrills, Discovery Springs, Steam Town, Twilight Gardens, Valley of Fortune and Grand Exposition. Covering 79 acres, it is set to become the theme park that breaks all records of entertainment in Saudi Arabia and the region. Qiddiya is located south-west of Riyadh on a site that spans 366 sq km.

The Falcon’s Flight is set to become the world’s longest, fastest and tallest coaster in the world, the centrepiece of Six Flags Qiddiya. It will travel across approximately 4km, feature a vertical cliff dive manoeuvre into a 160m-deep valley using magnetic motor acceleration, and achieve unprecedented speeds of 250+ km/h. The Falcon’s Flight will also be the world’s tallest free-standing coaster structure featuring a parabolic airtime hill, allowing a weightlessness airtime experience.

Qiddiya’s Chief Executive Officer, Philippe Gas, commented on the signature ride saying: “Rollercoaster fans around the world have been eagerly anticipating this ride since it was announced as there is nothing quite like it anywhere else. Now we are in the design stage with the experts at Intamin and the engineering team at Six Flags, the excitement is building! Falcon’s flight will dominate the skyline at Qiddiya weave all the way around our destination, right out of the theme park, up the cliffside, and down the cliff face – the greatest drop of any ride in the world; it won’t be for the fainthearted!”

On each ride – a three-minute long adventure – up to 20 passengers will experience the exhilaration of three electromagnetic propulsion launch systems as well as panoramic views of Six Flags Qiddiya and the Resort Core.
