Six Flags Qiddiya City officially celebrated its grand opening on December 31, welcoming guests from across Saudi Arabia and around the world. As Saudi Arabia’s first-of-its-kind theme park and entertainment destination, the opening marks a major milestone for Six Flags Entertainment as its first theme park designed and built outside of North America. The groundbreaking park features six immersive themed lands that blend innovative technology with high-energy entertainment.
Located just 40 minutes from Riyadh in the heart of the Tuwaiq Mountains, Qiddiya City is the world’s first global destination built entirely around the “Power of Play.” Once fully completed, the city will unite world-class entertainment, sports, and cultural experiences in a bold, never-before-seen way.
