THE new and enormous theme park in Riyadh is set to open within the next two months despite it still being under construction.
Six Flags Qiddiya City said it’s will open later this year after reports it would be pushed back to spring 2026.
Attractions Magazine revealed last week that Six Flags shared an opening date timeframe of “the first half of 2026” for Six Flags Quiddiya City in a press release.
But then a Six Flags representative reached out the publication to clarify the new theme park is expected to open in late 2025.
The theme park was first announced in 2019 to be part of Quiddiya City – an entertainment hub in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The new theme park will have the world’s fastest and tallest rollercoaster in the world called Falcon’s Flight – three others will also break records.
Falcon’s Flight, the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the world with speeds of 155 mph and heights of 639 feet.
The Sirocco Tower, will become the tallest free-standing shot ride in the world with a maximum height of 475 feet tall.
Iron Rattler, the tallest tilt coaster in the world at 208 feet tall. And Gyrospin, the tallest pendulum ride in the world will be 173 feet tall.
The Six Flags Qiddiya City will have six different lands; Steam Town, City of Thrills, Twilight Gardens, Grand Exposition, Valley of Fortune and Discovery Springs.
Discovery Springs is where visitors will be transported to deep underwater.
It has a ride called ‘Into the Deep’ where riders will be transported into sea caves on the interactive dark ride.
A rollercoaster called Sea Stallion, which will become the tallest and fastest rider-controlled coaster in the world, that will travel over rivers and behind waterfalls.
It also has a water drop adventure ride, and playground for children called Aquatopia.
The Aquarabia water park will also be part of the complex – and will be the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.
There will be eight themed zones inspired by the wildlife found in Saudi Arabia, for example Camel Rock and Viper Canyon.
Inside the water park that’s also set to open in late 2025, will be 22 rides, a surf pool, water coaster and slides.
It’s not all rides and rollercoasters at Qiddiya City, the site will open its own racetrack that spans across two levels – the first of its kind in the world.
Called, Speed Park, the track is set to open in 2027, and the plan is that the track will eventually host the country’s Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The track has even been designed by racing drivers and will have the very first elevated track corner which is 70-metres high – which equates to a 20-storey building.
While the track will mostly be used by professionals, it will host open days for members of the public.
