Saudi Arabia is about to unlock a whole new level of fun with Six Flags Qiddiya City, opening on December 31, 2025. Just 40 minutes from Riyadh and tucked into the Tuwaiq Mountains, this spot is basically built for anyone who loves play, adventure, or just screaming on roller coasters with zero shame.
What Qiddiya City Is All About
Qiddiya City is officially the world’s first global destination designed entirely around the Power of Play. Think of it as a massive playground for adults, kids, and everyone in between — mixing entertainment, sports, culture, and outdoor adventure in one buzzing place.
The Big Thrills
Let’s talk rides, because they’re wild. The park has 28 of them, including a few that are literally breaking world records:
- Falcons Flight: the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in the world. Yes, all three.
- Iron Rattler: the tallest tilt coaster ever built.
- Spitfire: the tallest inverted coaster on the planet.
These are the rides you walk off shaking but also bragging about for weeks.
Family-Friendly Fun
Not into heart-stopping drops? No worries — 18 rides are designed specifically for families and younger visitors. So whether you’re bringing little cousins, younger siblings, or people who prefer their feet on the ground, there’s plenty to do. And when the hunger hits, there’s a lineup of international dining spots waiting.
Six Lands, One Adventure
The park is divided into six immersive lands, with the Citadel sitting right at the center. Each land has its own vibe and pulls inspo from different parts of Saudi heritage, so you’re basically traveling through stories while queuing for rides — all in a sustainable, creatively built environment.
A First for Six Flags
This will be the first Six Flags park outside North America, which is huge. It’s not a copy-paste version either — the rides, the lands, the whole experience are exclusive to Qiddiya City, giving it a personality that actually feels fresh.
Conclusion
Six Flags Qiddiya City isn’t just another theme park — it’s a whole energy shift for entertainment in the Kingdom. Between the record-breaking coasters, the family-friendly zones, the storytelling, and the sheer scale of play, it’s gearing up to become the place to be.
