Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia opened on December 31. The park features three signature Intamin attractions, including Falcons Flight the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster.
Six Flags Qiddiya City project
The Qiddiya project is part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program and is centered around a city designed for entertainment. This city built for play includes sports facilities, entertainment facilities, a waterpark and theme parks. The inaugural asset, Six Flags Qiddiya City, just opened its doors.
Falcons Flight and Spitfire, two Intamin LSM Launch coasters, are designed to break records and thrill riders. Together these two rides hold four world records. Among the more gentle and observational attractions, the custom-designed Flying Island, Skywatch, at Six Flags Qiddiya City, elevates guests smoothly into the air to provide panoramic views of the park and the surrounding Tuwaiq Mountains.
Falcons Flight
The world’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster. Powered by Intamin’s industry-leading LSM drive system, Falcons Flight was designed to break these records while remaining comfortable and enjoyable for riders.
The aerodynamic shapes of the trains and windshields are engineered to pierce through the air, ensuring ride comfort all while keeping safety in consideration.
Spitfire
Reaching a height of 73 meters (240 feet) in Six Flags Qiddiya City’s skyline, Spitfire features the world’s tallest inversion on a roller coaster. Spitfire reaches a 127 km/h (79 mph) triple launch powered by Intamin’s LSM drive system.
Using Intamin’s Fast Switch technology and a vertical spike, this ride delivers thrills with weightlessness at the spike, airtime on the humps, and an inverted top hat finale. Riders experience 900 meters of track with a physical track length of 582 meters.
Skywatch
Guests soar 45 meters above the ground on Skywatch and see 360-degree panoramic views. The tent design of this Flying Island blends \ into the park landscape and turns Skywatch into an icon, whether on the ground or in the air.
