The newly opened «Six Flags Qiddiya City» in Saudi Arabia has transformed vast desert areas into a massive tourism zone. The entertainment center features the world’s longest, tallest, and fastest roller coaster. «Six Flags Qiddiya City» is part of the «Qiddiya» project, which aims to turn a significant portion of the Arabian desert into one of the world’s largest entertainment and tourism centers, generating great interest. The complex is located near the country’s capital, Riyadh. Future plans for the project include building an esports arena, a stadium, and a water park. «Six Flags Qiddiya City» is the first «Six Flags» park built outside North America. Construction took about four years. The total area of the complex is 32 hectares, featuring restaurants, shops, and, of course, various attractions. The park has 28 rides in total, three of which have already set world records. Among them, the most impressive is the roller coaster «Falcon’s Flight». It is simultaneously the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest coaster, reaching speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour.
