A vast theme park in the great entertainment city rising southwest of Riyadh, Six Flags Qiddiya City is the first park of the famous chain built outside North America. Opened at the close of 2025, it is home to a string of record-breaking rides. The park forms the first great attraction of a sprawling new leisure city, a centrepiece of the country's drive to build a world of entertainment. Its opening drew global attention. It is laid out across six themed lands, anchored by a central citadel, each with its own character and rides. The theming runs throughout the park. The park holds some twenty-eight rides and attractions, among them five that lay claim to world records for their height, speed or length. Thrill seekers are richly served. Its crowning ride is a great roller coaster billed as the tallest, fastest and longest in the world, climbing as high as a sixty-storey building. It is the talk of the park. That coaster races across the desert at tremendous speed over a course of more than four kilometres, a ride of some three minutes. Its scale defies belief. A great drop tower, billed as the tallest free-standing of its kind, lifts riders high before a stomach-dropping plunge. It is among the park's signature thrills. Other record-breaking rides include a towering pendulum, a tilting coaster and an inverting coaster, each pushing the limits of its type. They draw the boldest visitors. Beyond the great thrill rides, many gentler rides are made for families and younger visitors, so all generations are served. There is fun for every age. International dining and retail outlets are scattered through the park, offering food, drink and souvenirs to the crowds. A day here is easily filled. Its blend of record-breaking rides, themed lands and family fun makes it one of the most ambitious theme parks in the world. It draws thrill seekers from far and wide. It lies in the new entertainment city, some distance southwest of the centre of Riyadh, reached by road from the capital. Ample facilities serve the many visitors. For thrill seekers and families alike it is among the great new attractions in the world.
