Saudi Arabia - Falcons Flight, the highly anticipated roller coaster at Six Flags Qiddiya, is nearing completion, with new construction photos revealing significant progress.
As part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, Falcons Flight aims to be one of the world’s most impressive thrill rides.
Construction has advanced significantly, with much of the massive structure now visible. Once completed, Falcons Flight will break multiple world records.
With a height of 195 meters, Falcons Flight is the first Exa Coaster by Intamin, a term for roller coasters over 600 feet (182.9 meters). Previously, no coaster from any manufacturer exceeded 500 feet (152.4 meters).
The current record-holder before Falcon’s Flight is Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, which stands at 139 meters.
Falcon’s Flight also breaks the speed record, reaching 250 km/h, surpassing Formula Rossa at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi (240 km/h), and the length record with its 4,250-meter track, exceeding Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spa Land (2,479 meters).
The trains will be launched three times using LSM propulsion. Each train has a protective windshield, eliminating the need for passengers to wear goggles. There will be six trains on the track simultaneously.
Set to open in 2025, Falcons Flight will anchor Six Flags Qiddiya, offering a diverse array of attractions and activities in the middle of the desert.
