Let the fun begin!
Saudi Arabia is gearing up for a big entertainment milestone as Six Flags Qiddiya City is officially projected to open in late 2025, most likely in Q4. This game-changing theme park promises to bring next-level fun, thrills, and family-friendly adventure to the heart of Qiddiya City.
Exciting Things Are Coming Soon
In a major announcement, Qiddiya Investment Company confirmed it has signed a Management Services Agreement with Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, North America’s largest regional theme park operator. Under this agreement, Six Flags will take on the official operations of Six Flags Qiddiya City and the nearby Aquarabia Water Theme Park, both set to open in late 2025.
What does this mean? Expect world-class rides, unforgettable experiences, and record-breaking attractions delivered with the trusted operational excellence Six Flags is known for.
What to Expect at Six Flags Qiddiya City
Upon opening, Six Flags Qiddiya City will feature 28 rides and attractions, including what’s expected to be the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster: Falcon’s Flight. Whether you’re a seasoned thrill-seeker or someone just looking for some light-hearted family fun, there’ll be something for everyone.
Qiddiya’s goal is to create a place that brings people together for memorable moments, and Six Flags’ global experience is the perfect fit to help make that happen.
Water Fun Next Door: Aquarabia Water Theme Park
Right next to Six Flags Qiddiya City, the Aquarabia Water Theme Park is also scheduled to open in late 2025. Aquarabia will include 22 incredible water rides, from the world’s tallest water coaster to the world’s first double-loop water slide. It will also include eight themed areas, including Surftopia — home to Saudi Arabia’s first surf pool.
So whether you’re cooling off in the wave pool or braving a high-speed plunge, Aquarabia will be making waves in the Kingdom’s water park scene.
