Saudi Arabia's city of play brings numerous attractions for visitors
Six
Flags Qiddiya City officially opened on December 31, introducing three
landmark attractions developed by Intamin at the Kingdom’s newest theme park
destination. The park forms part of the wider Qiddiya project, a cornerstone of
Saudi Vision 2030 focused on creating a purpose-built city for entertainment,
sports and leisure.
Designed as a city built for play, Qiddiya
brings together sports venues, entertainment attractions, a waterpark and
multiple theme parks. Six Flags Qiddiya City is the project’s first major asset
to welcome guests.
Among its headline offerings are Falcons Flight
and Spitfire, two Intamin LSM launch roller coasters engineered to push
performance boundaries. Collectively, the two attractions hold four world
records. Complementing the high-adrenaline rides is Skywatch, a custom-designed
Flying Island that gently lifts guests into the air, offering sweeping views
across the park and the surrounding Tuwaiq Mountains.

Falcons
Flight
Billed as the world’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster, Falcons
Flight is powered by Intamin’s LSM drive system. The attraction was engineered
to achieve record-breaking performance while maintaining rider comfort.
Aerodynamically shaped trains and windshields are designed to cut through the
air efficiently, balancing speed, comfort and safety.
Spitfire
Dominating the Six Flags Qiddiya City skyline at 73 metres (240 feet), Spitfire
features the world’s tallest roller coaster inversion. The ride reaches speeds
of up to 127 km/h (79 mph) through a triple-launch sequence driven by Intamin’s
LSM technology. Incorporating Fast Switch technology and a vertical spike,
Spitfire delivers moments of weightlessness, airtime over multiple humps and an
inverted top-hat finale across 900 metres of track.

Skywatch
For a more relaxed experience, Skywatch elevates guests 45 metres above ground,
providing 360-degree panoramic views. Its tent-inspired Flying Island design
integrates seamlessly into the park’s landscape, transforming the attraction
into a visual landmark both on the ground and in the air.
Together,
the three Intamin attractions underscore Six Flags Qiddiya City’s ambition to
position itself as a global destination for world-class thrills and immersive entertainment.
