I think it'll be the definition of aim high, shoot low. They claim all of these crazy records that would undoubtably make it the best park in the world, but when we actually get a park, it'll probably end up being an amazing bucket list park in the middle east that becomes a competitor for best in the world but isn't a "won by a longshot" kind of park.
I truly hope they are working with engineers and designers who have been building these rides and tracks their whole lives to join in on this, if not already. Launching people into the air at super high speeds, twisting, and at very tall heights can and does lead to many deaths when the wrong people are hired for a job and also the workers who maintain them years and years down the road. Safety regulations is the biggest key and I hope they don't try to simply one up every design, height or 'top speed' of coasters from more famous parks. It's about overall experience. The sketch pictures you shared are beautiful though! Lots of potential and even though they are very over the top, the ambience would be nice.
I'm less worried about whether this is going to be built, than I am about whether this can be a success. I'm not sure a large fully outdoor theme park has ever been built in a climate like this, so the maintenance of these rides could be an issue. And I'm not sure how many people will holiday in Saudi Arabia to visit this park, not just because of the human rights issues, but also because this is a stand-alone park - it's not like you can put together a big road trip and visit lots of parks like in the US or Japan, and the other attractions of Saudi Arabia are largely unknown - so will this be enough of a draw for people just to go here? Dubai is undoubtably a place with lots of tourists, and they've built theme parks which are an absolute ghost town during the weekdays. So you do wonder if it is built - can it be a sustainable success?
I totally agree, however to be fair the theme parks in Dubai are hardly theme parks at all, they're far less ambitious and lackluster than this... Dubai could really benefit from a Disney or Universal class theme park opposed to the rinky-dink filth that they call theme parks there... I believe they have a indoor theme park that's pretty pathetic...
It also looks like a fever dream lol, it just seems so out of what sixflags normally does (and I love six flags btw it’s my home park) so I just don’t know
Personally, I just can't picture this happening. For a Six Flags park, it just looks too good to be true. However, if this project truly does become a thing, maybe this could be the perfect opportunity for Six Flags to learn how important theming is these days and could lead them to bring much better theming to their current parks in America.
i do expect it to probably be the best park for six flags, but its probably gonna have horrible theming and the most frequent and longest downtimes of any park, i really hope it goes through though cause falcons flight looks so extremely fun
It's concept art for something entirely beyond the realm of anything that has ever existed previously (similar to "the line) and it's planned for a country with a long standing reputation of regressive laws. Even if those laws don't apply to inside the park I want to stay as far away from sharia as possible.

There's still a lot of caveats though. For one, it's still not a given that this park is even gonna open, or that it's gonna match what's on paper if it does, since a lot of these Middle Eastern mega-projects get nerfed or cancelled even after construction starts. To be honest, it's little more than an announcement until they get something significant built. Second, if it does open, Falcon's Flight is almost certainly not going to be open a lot of the time considering it's an Intamin, over 500 feet tall, and in the middle of a scorching hot desert with sand gusts. And finally, even if it does open and it's great, it's still in Saudi Arabia, which is going to make actually getting to the park a problem for you if you're a woman and/or gay.
You can give Six Flags all the budget you want and we may not have cloned rides but they sure the fuck wont stop reusing names. Whixh for all the shit Six Flags does...is actually my #1 pet peeve of Six Flags. Colossus, Iron Rattler? All you need is a Goliath and youre set.

3:18 The six in "Six Flags" is not because of six different themed areas in the parks. The name actually comes from the location of the very first park being in Texas, and six different flags have been flown over Texas within its history, hence the name. The six flags or six nations are the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of France, the Republic of Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America and the United States of America.
@@Elpistolero9 Everyone hates Saudi Arabia for a reason, women rights issues, capital punishment, corrupt government, mistreatment of people with disabilities and extrajudicial killing. Personally, if I lived there I would have no pride and move to any other country…
But is Six Flags REALLY building it, though? I read that a group of Saudi investors are actually building it and Six Flags is just licensing their name to the park.
Yup. Saudi Arabia is going to struggle to get any tourists in there until they can show respect to all people. It’s 2023, we can’t look past this stuff anymore. Our wallets are our voices. Also they’re really going to struggle to attract tourists from Europe if they maintain their ban on alcohol.
@@Elpistolero9 Your leaders care. There’s a reason they’re trying to shift the economy of your country to be based on tourism rather than oil. Tourists are far more sensitive to the human rights record of a country than oil consumers are. You’ve gotta start caring about how the world sees your country.
@@ryan_n05 Amazing how you expect them to confirm to your standards in their country lmfao. I don't care what side of the fence your beliefs are on, people have a right to self governance and if this is what their culture dictates than so be it. Neither you nor I have any right to make them conform to anything different.
Nobody’s talking about it because it’s gonna be built in Saudi Arabia… A country where the majority people will not visit or can visit… And who knows if this project will even be completed the way it has been described.
@@Elpistolero9 That’s not enough to sustain the projects Saudi Arabia is embarking on. They need this to become the next Orlando Florida to even get close to breaking even on their investments.
From all that was mentioned, the park still just doesn't have enough, its roller coasters are few, only one is a relevant roller coaster that would make anybody say wow. And even the renderings show that the theming will be lackluster for a park they claim to be a global attraction... There's so many parks I could list far ahead of this park if it opens... Still it's a good start for the Middle East being that they have no relevant theme parks at all...
Unfortunately, my moral side wins out over my thrill-seeker side. Me and a crowd of others will not be going to Genocidal Arabia just for a theme park Any ride manufacturer who helps build this park definitely deserves shunning for supporting the Saudis no matter how good their rides are. Even worse is Six Flags. If this park even happens, fingers crossed that falls flat, I'll just pretend it doesn't exist.
@@Elpistolero9 False. Human rights are not subjective. They are objective. I have a right to exist, just like you do. Dictating who gets to exist is called eugenics, which is something that accompanies fascism.
No one's talking about it because nothing is going on with it, is my impression. It was covered by a bunch of channels back when it was announced, people did talk about it and were excited about its potential. I clicked this video to see if there's any evidence of development that hasn't been covered before, and it doesn't seem like there is.
I hope that the Cedar Fair leadership puts an end to using the Six Flags name on a park in a country that mistreats women and LGBQT+ individuals. It doesn’t matter if they have the greatest rides and attractions in the world if large segments of the public won’t be allowed or able to enjoy the park.
First, WHAT? Second.... Are you gonna pack up the wife and kids to head off to Saudi Grounds (no offence against ANYONE) to hit an Amusement Park? I just want to know who could afford the air fare and resort fees and all the extras you'd be slapped with. I'm not being racist, I'm simply asking WHO could Afford to go there if it even opens??? I'm too broke to think about such things. Feeding the family and keeping the lights on takes precedence. But no shit, if I had my druthers, I'd be the first customer through the gate.
I think the reason no one is really talking about it is because it’s so ridiculously insane that no one thinks it’s actually going to fully pan out. It will definitely exist and be completed, but no where near what the original plans are
Is it going to include a public punishment stage? Seriously the location in that heat I think will cause many headaches regarding steel expansion/contraction.
Six Flags is not building anything, You keep misrepresenting this & do not understand the frame work of licensing. SF involvement is for their name & acting as a consultant. To claim this is the 1st ground up park Sf has built since STL is false. they aren't building anything.

I still think it's going to fall through - the whole thing is feels artificial ... but since it HASN'T fallen through yet, maybe it could see completion?
How many times have we seen great concept art for theming by 6Flags only to see them put minimal effort into it time and again??? The company is run by MBA's, NOT creative people.
The reason no one is talking about this is because it’s never going to be finished. Saudi Arabia is known for coming up with outlandish projects that never get finished.
There's no way that Falcon's Flight is actually "under-development." The concept art has flawed physics. It appears to have a chain lift hill system followed by an even larger camelback after, defying physics immediately.
@@Elpistolero9 nobody cares about your delusions. saudi arabia is awful. until saudi arabia is safe for all to visit, including queer people and women, saudi arabia will continue to be awful.
I travel all over the world for roller coasters and I’m a very dedicated enthusiast. I’m also gay so going to Saudi Arabia is not really an option for me because being gay in that country could be a death penalty. Makes me sad such an incredible coaster line up is going to a country where cruelty to women and other minorities are their normalcy.
Who told u we treat our women with crulty? U r mistaken and u read fake news. Saudi Arabia welcome every body, in fact we have 25 Millions tourist in 2023 from world and 75M visit in the country. Gays or any one are welcome as long not showning sexual movement. If u wanna do it in ur private we don't care and no one do anything to u, but u have respect the culture and rules like u do in any country.
Great job! Qiddiya, ill probably never get there. I thought Nitro was great. I need to get out to some of these national parks. Missing out on so much. Although I did stop at Cedar Point on a whim one year and it was closed. Like Wally World. Had the security guard and everything. I didnt pull a BB gun on him though.
Being a 4th gen native Texan from 1870 having a Six Flags park that's named is derived from our heritage and history ANYWHERE in the middle east ESP SA rubs me the WAY wrong way.
I can't see it happening at all, if it does get built than congrats. Saudi Arabias human laws...(mainly the treating of said humans) is not good at all, so I suspect it will open...just not for long at all. At most if it DOES open, at most is like 5 years before it closes down because no one wants to stand in a line thats longer than 3 hours. The climate is also terrible, since from looking online, its basically a desert. Even standing 90 minutes or longer for steel vengeance in 80 degree weather is painful enough I don't wanna stand in dry heat thats above 100 some days. If saudi arabia fixes the human rights issues (doubtful, but hoping) than it would open for longer, but until then, it's only staying open less than a decade.
It really comes down to if Intamin can pull off Falcons Flight, and considering the airtime hill post drop is actually a hang-time element, should show everyone that they aren’t fuc*ing around. If this park can afford the maintenance necessary to keep these rides functioning, the only thing keeping this park from succeeding is weather, and location - both of which are concerns.
I don’t think that the vekoma tilt could exist, that drop would be too intense on riders the track and trains. If we do see this park 6 flags may be back with recorded breaking rides
while I am a little excited to be honest it's more annoying than anything, why does Saudi always feel the need to be the best at everything, just let it be
Saudi Arabia is looking to transition its revenue from oil to mainly tourism, and they currently are in the middle of this transition. Of course, to attract tourism you need attractions that stand out, like a new world's first / best attraction. This is the same thing many places around the gulf are doing and I have to cut them some slack for making a transition like this.
Falcon's Flight will be approximately 3.57 ADMs, or Anaheim Disney Matterhorns, a unit I use to measure most large things, approximately 44.8 meters or 147 feet. 3.57 ADMs! That's crazy!
Well, I’m not going to Saudi Arabia to ride a roller coaster…even if it’s the best coaster in the world. There is no way I will spend my tourist dollars in a country as repressive as Saudi Arabia.
Yeah, I don’t see this happening. This area is supposed to be built into this huge entertainment and sports themed city. I think there’s way too much being invested into one place at one time. Their plan is to have this “utopia” done by 2030. There’s definitely not enough time to complete this. They will also extend their funds to complete the “city” aspect of the project first before an amusement park. Airports, infrastructure, utilities, roads all need to go in before the amusement park. If the miracle happens and this goes up, fantastic. But I can’t see it happening. Best case, it opens with half the rides, and half the “realms” with the rides being cut down and brought back to reality.
the artwork seem more like a dubai project minus the mountain,, but getting tourist to come to the middle of the dessert to enjoy a fun day is whats going to be the bigger issues,, too hot during the day and too cold at night,, and omg the water alone is going to be pipped in from some far off water source, which im sure eventually will be a environmental issue. im sure it will be built but the longevity of the park is in questioning,, good news though it will make for a great youtube legendary focal point on once upon a time in the history of amusement parks or themed parks of the world stud a God of all Park,, like the great tower of babylon,, it is nomore

When I was in my 20's and 30's both parks were very nice but now in my 40's the last 5 or more years even before COVID hit they are in terrible shape! Not just short staffed but the staff they keep could care less about the job or even safety checks on Rides. Alot of rides are in bad shape, bees and wasps have taken over in a lot of places too. My son got stung on a ride that had wasps all over it and no one cared.

Gays or any one are welcome as long not showning sexual movement. If u wanna do it in ur private we don't care and no one do anything to u, but u have respect the culture and rules like u do in any country.
All this greatness overseas..yet we get crap here at home
I guarantee if I ever get out there, there will be a giant sand storm that time that shuts everything good down.
I hope they pull this off
Great job! Qiddiya, ill probably never get there. I thought Nitro was great. I need to get out to some of these national parks. Missing out on so much. Although I did stop at Cedar Point on a whim one year and it was closed. Like Wally World. Had the security guard and everything. I didnt pull a BB gun on him though.
Colossus? Wasn't that the old wooden coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California?
Even if it does get built it screams high end so it will probably be mainly for the rich people it is in the UAE after all
Being a 4th gen native Texan from 1870 having a Six Flags park that's named is derived from our heritage and history ANYWHERE in the middle east ESP SA rubs me the WAY wrong way.
I can't see it happening at all, if it does get built than congrats. Saudi Arabias human laws...(mainly the treating of said humans) is not good at all, so I suspect it will open...just not for long at all. At most if it DOES open, at most is like 5 years before it closes down because no one wants to stand in a line thats longer than 3 hours. The climate is also terrible, since from looking online, its basically a desert. Even standing 90 minutes or longer for steel vengeance in 80 degree weather is painful enough I don't wanna stand in dry heat thats above 100 some days. If saudi arabia fixes the human rights issues (doubtful, but hoping) than it would open for longer, but until then, it's only staying open less than a decade.
Six Flag, if it had the right financial backing, could attempt to build a similar project in Florida.
Would be a far better destination location for this.
Why is there going to be another roller coaster called iron rattler? Iron rattler is already at six flags fiesta Texas.
Probably a different version of the ride but possibly different from the original
It really comes down to if Intamin can pull off Falcons Flight, and considering the airtime hill post drop is actually a hang-time element, should show everyone that they aren’t fuc*ing around.
If this park can afford the maintenance necessary to keep these rides functioning, the only thing keeping this park from succeeding is weather, and location - both of which are concerns.
Six flags and theme park will be open on june 2025. U r welcome in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
because it's in Saudi
This park seems extremely unimaginative. Seems like they are just going for records and nothing else which in my opinion is the wrong way to go.
Hershey Park has the Six Flags type of rides because they have thrilling coasters and 200 ft tall ones
Awesome content as always!
Nah bro cause imagine having to fix the 500 foot tall coaster at the top of the mountain...
💀
"pretty good job". It's okay to say things are amazing and rides are amazing and they are amazing and not everything has to be ho hum
I don't know how you got thru this video without laughing.
I don’t think that the vekoma tilt could exist, that drop would be too intense on riders the track and trains. If we do see this park 6 flags may be back with recorded breaking rides
i think they’ll actually make the twist on the drop reasonable if this ride is built. think something like kingda ka or top thrill dragster.
This, epic universe, mattel adventure park, and cotaland in 1 year
It hasn't happened until it happens
World’s best theme park in one of the World’s worst countries.
while I am a little excited to be honest it's more annoying than anything, why does Saudi always feel the need to be the best at everything, just let it be
Saudi Arabia is looking to transition its revenue from oil to mainly tourism, and they currently are in the middle of this transition. Of course, to attract tourism you need attractions that stand out, like a new world's first / best attraction. This is the same thing many places around the gulf are doing and I have to cut them some slack for making a transition like this.
so yeah it might be annoying to you, but it's part off saudi's plan
They are trying to get a World Cup to host in 2030.
@@fadbob_ yeah true and if they stop needing oil so much then hopefully that may start a domino affect which may lower oil usage worldwide
I live in the country next to the contury that has this park
What is the name of the log flume you showed a clip of? It does not look familiar to me.
Falcon's Flight will be approximately 3.57 ADMs, or Anaheim Disney Matterhorns, a unit I use to measure most large things, approximately 44.8 meters or 147 feet. 3.57 ADMs! That's crazy!
Well, I’m not going to Saudi Arabia to ride a roller coaster…even if it’s the best coaster in the world. There is no way I will spend my tourist dollars in a country as repressive as Saudi Arabia.
Bye
Leave actually already started building that roller coaster
If this happens, screw it, im actually going to saudi arabia lol
Pin me if I tricked you
Read more…
Wait.. *UNLIMITED BUDGET???!!!*
Bad sand storms and high winds will shut down rides often
We need six flags in europe i hate my life haha 🤣🔥
Yeah if only they chose a different place.
Falcons flights animation looks so stupid
I thought it was canceled because of pandemic.
No it’s being built is we speak
Yeah, I don’t see this happening. This area is supposed to be built into this huge entertainment and sports themed city. I think there’s way too much being invested into one place at one time. Their plan is to have this “utopia” done by 2030. There’s definitely not enough time to complete this. They will also extend their funds to complete the “city” aspect of the project first before an amusement park. Airports, infrastructure, utilities, roads all need to go in before the amusement park. If the miracle happens and this goes up, fantastic. But I can’t see it happening. Best case, it opens with half the rides, and half the “realms” with the rides being cut down and brought back to reality.
nobody will literally ride the record breaker. just extreme adrenaline junkies ride stuff this fast. so this place will suck for other people.
Probably should’ve gone with a different theme park company
It's six flags, it will never be the best Theme park. Six flags name is based on the 6 flags that have Flown over Texas, not 6 lands.
Dubai should have a Disneyland, not a Six Flags park. They can barely take care of what they own now.
0% chance falcons Flight even passes regulation
It’s getting built right now lol
This would like puting a amusement park in death valley, a horrible idea and then you have to add the human rights issues with the country
the artwork seem more like a dubai project minus the mountain,, but getting tourist to come to the middle of the dessert to enjoy a fun day is whats going to be the bigger issues,, too hot during the day and too cold at night,, and omg the water alone is going to be pipped in from some far off water source, which im sure eventually will be a environmental issue. im sure it will be built but the longevity of the park is in questioning,, good news though it will make for a great youtube legendary focal point on once upon a time in the history of amusement parks or themed parks of the world stud a God of all Park,, like the great tower of babylon,, it is nomore
I would say all the rides that could be Intimate are going to be because they probably got a deal going through them
So why are they putting something this cool in dubai??? Like why??
6Flags has a lot of nice parks but also a lot of parks that need a lot of love or just to be shut down completely..
Like which? I agree that some need love but which would need to be shut down
@@logo115 Six Flags America in MD and Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ have been in really bad shape the last few years. When I was in my 20's and 30's both parks were very nice but now in my 40's the last 5 or more years even before COVID hit they are in terrible shape! Not just short staffed but the staff they keep could care less about the job or even safety checks on Rides. Alot of rides are in bad shape, bees and wasps have taken over in a lot of places too. My son got stung on a ride that had wasps all over it and no one cared. (I am allergic, so good thing it wasn't me) They are just not taking care of the place or the rides at all and I would even say it's probably not safe .😞
