A new record-breaking roller coaster, Falcons Flight, has recently opened at the Six Flags resort in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia. This towering steel behemoth stands at an impressive height of 195m, overshadowing London’s iconic Big Ben. The resort, part of the expansive Qiddiya City development, is expected to attract around 17 million visitors annually.
In addition to Falcons Flight, the Qiddiya complex will feature a custom Formula One track, a Dragon Ball theme park, and a water park. Six Flags, renowned for its theme parks in America, was the first attraction to launch in the city. Falcons Flight, which had its soft opening last week, not only claims the title of the world’s tallest roller coaster but also holds the records for being the fastest and longest.
Manufacturers Intamin began construction in April 2023 and completed the installation of the final component in December 2024. YouTube creator Shawn Sanbrooke, from the Themepark Worldwide channel, described his exhilarating experience on Falcons Flight as “absolutely incredible.” He expressed awe at the ride’s height and the breathtaking views it offers.
Shawn emphasized how special it was to ride Falcons Flight during the day, admiring the stunning landscape around the theme park. The launch of this colossal roller coaster marks a significant day for thrill-seekers. Apart from Falcons Flight, Six Flags boasts other record-breaking attractions like the Sirocco Tower, Gyrospin, Iron Rattler, and Spitfire roller coaster, each setting new height records in the amusement park world.
Former theme park employee Shawn was overwhelmed by the experience, describing the park as surreal and emotional. The unveiling of these remarkable attractions at Six Flags promises an unforgettable experience for visitors seeking adrenaline-pumping thrills.
