World’s fastest roller coaster, Falcon’s Flight, to unveil
next year in Saudi Arabia
Next year, Six Flags Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia will unveil
Falcon’s Flight, the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, with an
anticipated top speed of 156mph.
This groundbreaking coaster, categorized as the world's
first "Exa Coaster" due to its height exceeding 600 feet and a
staggering 640ft drop, is set to open at Six Flags Qiddiya. Surpassing the
London Eye in height, Falcon’s Flight will also hold the record as the longest
rollercoaster, covering an impressive 2.64 miles, and will traverse over 13,000 feet of track, outdoing the current record holder, Steel Dragon 2000 at Japan’s
Nagashima Spa Land.

interactive workshops, offering attendees hands-on learning experiences and
networking opportunities with key industry players.
The exhilarating simulation of Falcon’s Flight has garnered
excitement from fans worldwide, showcasing twists and turns over 13,000ft of
track, including a daring descent off a cliff. While some express enthusiasm
