Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

[Nitefly]

There’s a point at which a ride can be so bombastic in what it achieves then there isn’t really any need for it to have a well rounded layout:

- Stealth is absurdly short (in duration and height compared to its bigger brothers) yet punchy enough to stand on its own feet.

- Millennium Force doesn’t have a focus on airtime or intense manoeuvres beyond speed, but the height and speed make it a spectacle in its own right.

Falcon’s Flight is big and fast enough to be more ‘Millennium Force’ than ‘The Big One’.

I'm very excited for this park and not just because I'm going to be living about 30 minutes away from this park when it opens.

Beyond Falcon's Flight, which despite potential layout blandness is likely to be pretty incredible, you've got the GCI, the launched Intamin with the spike, the biggest Vekoma tilt coaster they've ever built (biggest Vekoma in general), and a huge amount of other rides and attractions. Ride uptime is going to be my primary concern, I think, but I'm excited to be in a position to (hopefully) visit many times to avoid any closures and report back to the community at large.

Second this.

Enthusiasts who love MF, are probably in for the ride of their lives aboard FF.

Enthusiasts who find MF to be a boring, forceless, meandering mine train on steroids will probably not be terribly enthralled with FF.

Another update out of KSA for Six Flags Saudi: it will have the world's tallest drop tower. Looks like it's going to be an S&S tower-- I would assume a turbo drop-- at a staggering 475' tall. That's going to beat the record, but I pretty good margin. Judging by the size of the tower, this is going to have a huge capacity, especially if it's using the ring of seats that S&S has moved to recently.

Excited to ride it.

Very cool news indeed. Also welcome back to the pedestrian side @CedarPoint6!
