In 2026, Riyadh is dialing the thrill all the way up with Six Flags Qiddiya City, Asia's first Six Flags theme park. And it's not arriving quietly. The headline act is Falcons Flight, a record-breaking roller coaster that is said to be the tallest, fastest and longest in the world, redefining what it means to scream for fun.

Located on the outskirts of Riyadh, the latest Six Flags is part of the Qiddiya entertainment project, first established in 2018, with construction beginning the year after. The sprawling 79-acre park is designed as a playground for all ages, featuring 28 attractions spread across six themed zones.

The six themed zones are called Steam Town, Twilight Gardens, Discovery Springs, City Thrills, Valley of Fortune, and Grand Exposition — with each land reflecting an important part of Arabian heritage.
