A new record-breaking roller coaster, Falcons Flight, has been unveiled at the Six Flags resort in Qiddiya City. This towering steel behemoth reaches a height of 195m, surpassing the iconic Big Ben in London. The resort is part of the extensive Qiddiya City development in Saudi Arabia, expected to attract millions of visitors annually.
In addition to Falcons Flight, the Qiddiya City will feature various attractions, including a custom Formula One track, a Dragon Ball theme park, and a water park. Six Flags, renowned for its theme parks across America, was the first attraction to launch in the city.
Falcons Flight, which became the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster during its recent soft opening, was constructed by Intamin and completed in December 2024. YouTube creator Shawn Sanbrooke, from Themepark Worldwide channel, described the ride as “incredible” and “phenomenal” after experiencing it firsthand.
