I totally get that but - you’re gonna be limited to how tall you can go when something is free standing due to stability so from a ‘record’ point of view I’m just not sure it’s fair saying the rock face is the tallest point of the coaster.
@@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills it is fair. It's a terrain coaster, but the height is still calculated from the bottom to the top. They are just doing it on a hill for convenience, not cheating at all. It's just luck that they have those hills around the park, the same way dollywood is lucky for having that awesome terrain where lightning rod sits, or Kennywood with Phantom. Btw Phantom was never the highest because of the lift, but had its station been on the same level of the bottom of the drop, it would've been the highest at its time
@@tufab3494 it was just something that went through my mind that’s all as it would probably be quite difficult to build something even bigger than the 530ft airtime hill that’s free standing. ☺️
@@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills You're right. Should be classified differently, I'd say. Nothing takes away the fact that it's still the tallest and fastest, you just can't count the cliff height portion.
For the thrill of the ride, how you get the max height doesn't matter. But using the cliff and mountains is certainly easier and cheaper than building all the infrastructure on flat land. So both perspectives are legitimate depending on why you bring it up.
I really admire ur research, qiddiya city it's huge, 360 km so first phase will open mid of 2025 with six flags theme park, Then after that dragon ball theme park. U r welcome 🇸🇦❤️
Awww thank you so much! I definitely don’t want to live there but after the current events you know about, I’ve definitely decided that this is a coaster I would like to experience. So I will try find a way of getting over there!
I think the rock face is fair, after all rides like nemesis, oblivion, lightning rod and phantoms revenge all use their terrain to get a large drop and no one complains about them
But are they claiming a height world record though? That’s my sticking point. I mean in the grand scheme of things I don’t really care ha! But just wondering from a record perspective, is it more accurate to say that the airtime hill is the true highest point as it’s the highest free standing point of the ride ☺️. Great perspective though!
And i thought the fury 325 was big. Which it is the tallest on earth with chainlift and when i first saw it in person it was surreal as still the biggest ive seen and rode but the fact that falcons flight dwarfs the fury, i cant even comprehend
I don’t know if Saudi’s plans to build these futuristic city’s to attract tourists to replace the oil money will work, at the end of the day it is still very old and backwards with its laws and regulations and how it treats women. It needs to change its culture really to attract big tourist numbers, I know many dislike the Grand Prix being there because of their culture.
Things are changing. Dubai is becoming a lot less strict with the ‘arms covered’ rule being somewhat redundant now (when I visited, people didn’t follow the dress code despite me following it to the letter). Saudi is already following the same path with their rules. I do understand but at the same time, in the U.K. we are meant to be civilised but we do a lot of things that other cultures would consider cruel. I was quite frightened to visit Dubai but ended up absolutely loving it.
Many people think in saudi arabia we have strict laws and regulations, but this is not true at all. I think people has been affected by the media a lot. In terms of woman, I see saudi arabia as one of the only and best countries at treating woman, that does not mean we hadn't had stupid laws like woman cant drive, but most of the regulation either was fixed or will be soon. In terms of culture, our culture is so unique and special, it is like nowhere in the world. Our costumes, greetings, language, heritage, history, and welcoming people are so different and unique. In summary, Saudi Arabia is not like what of most people is, is much better. And it is being developed and improve in terms of everything.
@@hamadalkalbani4122 I totally agree with you. A lot of what is understood, is media driven. I saw that in Dubai. I absolutely loved that place and cannot wait to go back.
@@hamadalkalbani4122 Really? Nice ad you just made but facts suggest otherwise. The way you treat girls and women as objects is disgusting, by law they need a male guardian and they cannot choose who that is, you made that law in 2022. So no your country has not changed one bit. Good luck getting tourists there!
In the future I’m planning to share my trips around the world, particularly riding rollercoasters that I really want to experience, flying business/first class and lots of other different things that I decide to do. I do love doing these little videos though!
I don't find the usage of the cliff cheating, Its a very cleaver idea to gain a lot of height and not use as much steel as when the cliff wouldnt be there. And it must be a stunning experience to hop on and drop off of it :)
59% complete is insane? This has been trying to get built for like the last 15 years 😂. More like it’s about time. If the park and city do open, I give it a decade at most before it’s shuttered.
Yeah - it is insane because hardly anything at all was built at the beginning of 2024. They are 80% finished the water park. They have done a significant amount in these last 6 months. More than I ever would have anticipated, particularly with falcons flight. I was a pessimist - never believed the plans would have come to anything.
@@josephmcconnell5869 it’s a case of respecting the wishes of the country. In Dubai - public shows of affection is forbidden. Me and my husband had no issues with respecting the wishes of the country and everything was fine.
The coaster is a lazy sandbox design in my opinion. The local leader gave them money and Six Flags spent it. Nothing amazing… just money spent on a lengthy coaster.
I agree with you somewhat but for me. I love the fact it doesn’t have any inversions and it just focusses on speed and height. The coaster to me will be re rideable which I always love from a coaster. The height portions of the ride is also going to be pretty exhilarating. Also - I thought about rollercoaster tycoon the moment you said sandbox and now the associated music os stuck in my head. Note to self: must find some time to play RCT again.
Could you imagine spending a week here, if they officially land the F1 race too! A 47yr olds dream.holoday!! PS, saw your "short" saying you have something going on away from RUclips, hope your okay, here's to good health.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for asking ☺️. My life is horrid right now. It’s such a difficult time but I’m trying to keep going as much as I can. Hoping for a Thorpe park trip in a weeks time. It’s all booked, just hoping I won’t have to cancel 🤞🤞🤞. Thank you so much for asking. Haha yes! It would definitely be a dream holiday for what they have to offer! I’m not a massive F1 fan though hehe
@@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills I certainly am! I'm not sure the cost would justify the experience though of doing both together! Thorpe Park will be amazing, i went recently with my lad for the first time and lived how compact it is compared to say Alton Towers, so we could get around the rides quicker. An access pass is priceless! We saw Hyperia just before they started testing it, so will be visiting again in July, once the hype (get it) has passed a little! Hope you can make it, look forward to a review!😀
Yes amazing progress on this park, and let’s get out there quickly when it opens before it becomes the biggest park in the world to be SBNO after 2 years(my prediction) 😂😂
It’s a real shame that this park isn’t going to be in the USA. I’m actually surprised as tbe US are very patriotic. I would have thought six flags would have wanted falcons flight in the USA but think it’s clear that money definitely talks!
I would enjoy this park so much more, if Cedar Fair LLP had not bought out Six Flags parks. Cedar Fair is known for destroying some pretty great theme parks in America. Our Kansas City Missouri park was just messed up. They removed all of our parks Icon's. Realizing their mistakes they tried to reiterate some back in. But unfortunately it's to late. Generation X know how great the park was before they bought it out. Believe me They ruined our park and several other parks. They are all about the dollar and they don't really care about their employees take it from me I know firsthand.
Extreme open affection is prohibited no matter if you are straight or gay. If you don't flaunt it and keep it in your place of stay you will be more than fine...
Tbh I’m just open minded now. Dubai is quite strict. You’re not allowed to wear certain clothes, be affectionate in public etc - it’s one of the nicest and safest places I’ve been to.
Coming off and then down that cliff heading towards a 500+ft airtime hill at insane mph is going to be the most glorious thing on a coaster ever.
Gosh I agree! I was thinking that yesterday, when I re watched the intamin viddo.
On Earth Ever *
They will have to have trauma units to handle people that get shook up… 😂
@@gstevens6948 🫣 I’m sure it will be fine lol
Isn’t it 630ft?
10000% not cheating using the rock wall. They made all 600ft of track going up and down that wall.

59% DONE? We could genuinely be seeing this park within the next year or two!
Definitely!!!!! I was really shocked when I saw how much had been completed. The water park is even closer, I think that’s at 70%!
Falcons Flight is probably gonna be full circuit testing by late june. I CANT WAIT to see the footage of it testing
Yes I actually think you’re right. I could definitely see this coaster testing in the next few months at the very latest!
Keep dreaming...
This aged so well, mid July and track still not complete I don’t think
@@iliketrains3546 pretty sure it’s complete now.
I still thought this wasn’t happening! Then I see it in my recommended.
3:42 it will still be the tallest coaster no matter what, that camelback is the second tallest element on the ride (if you count the cliff)
I know ☺️
This park is going to be amazing! Thanks for sharing
@@donfranktv you’re very welcome!
I can’t believe Falcons Flight is complete
It’s not quite there - but it’s very much complete. To me it looks like they only need to do the bit on the cliff top and that’s it!

@@iliketrains3546 agreed! I don’t see anything beating it! There really does come a point where we reach coaster limits lol
@@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHillsit still will break that record with that camel back so it will still be the worlds tallest coaster anyway.

This is great , i like the concept art and new rides and themed area. The song is 🔥 also
I love the song too!
Ive seen elsewhere that falcon's flight was 95% complete and would most likely start testing in late July early August.
Honestly with what I’ve seen, I would be saying exactly the same! So excited to see it test!
I heard Grey Goose is sponsoring the ride.
this is amazing news
@@numaer2346 💜
Falcons flight looks like one of those abnormally tall roller coasters built in planet coaster and other roller coaster games 😬
Ha it really does lol
How do they plan to keep the park busy and relevant in the following years given that they broke so many records starting in.
I honestly can’t see it being a super busy park. Ferrari world in Abu Dhabi isn’t really busy - not like what we experience in the USA and U.K.
Lmao the capital riyadh with 8 million people is really close to it they will keep it busy
Insane! ❤
It certainly is! I would be very surprised if this didn’t have the issues that TT2 is currently experiencing!
