Six Flags, the biggest amusement park operator in the U.S., plans to build the world’s tallest, longest and fastest roller coaster in the Saudi capital.
The North Carolina-based company signed an agreement on Monday to manage both a Six Flags amusement resort and the Aquarabia Water Theme Park in Riyadh’s Qiddya district, which is being developed with billions of dollars of investment as the kingdom’s entertainment mecca.
Aquarabia will include the world’s tallest water coaster, the tallest double-loop water slide and Surftopia, Saudi Arabia’s first surfing pool.
The Falcon’s Flight roller coaster will dominate Six Flags Qiddiya City, alongside 27 other rides and attractions.
