Amusement Logic is shaping Six Flags Qiddiya, the amazing theme park in Qiddiya City. The company’s work, which has been going on for several years now, includes the production and installation of themed elements, essential for turning the park into a global benchmark for leisure, tourism, and entertainment. But let’s first look at what Qiddiya City is all about and what place Six Flags Qiddiya theme park occupies within it:
The world’s leading tourist destination
Theme and amusement parks, a large water park, world-class sports stadiums, sports and arts academies, concert and performance venues, motorsports circuits, endless adventure and outdoor activities, and experiences in nature and the environment, as well as “a variety of real estate options and community services,” will give body, and also soul, to this destination: that is Qiddiya City.
“The capital of Entertainment, Sports, and the Arts,” as its developers define it, or “home of the most innovative and immersive experiences,” is located approximately 40 km west of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Qiddiya City is just one more important component of the government’s Vision 2030 program, which aims to achieve the country’s economic, social, and cultural diversification, and whose means is present and future investment in tourism. That’s why the construction of Qiddiya City, which began in 2019, is being funded by the country’s Public Investment Fund. With a total area of 334 km2, the new “city” is expected to become the world’s leading tourist destination when completed around 2030.
Six Flags Qiddiya, the most anticipated theme park, in Qiddiya City
Six Flags Qiddiya will be another gem of the largest global chain of amusement and theme parks, the multinational Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, founded in Texas in 1961 and currently headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The Six Flags Qiddiya theme park is precisely one of Qiddiya City’s most notable attractions, a theme park that “will break all records of family fun and entertainment.” And this is no exaggeration, as it will feature the already famous Falcon’s Flight, the longest, tallest, and fastest roller coaster in the world; the Gyrospin, the world’s tallest pendulum; and the Sirocco Tower, the world’s tallest free-fall tower. or with the Iron Rattler, a tilt coaster, which will take visitors to 90-degree drop angles; or… there are many more surprises… As you can imagine, the expectations roused by a theme park like Six Flags Qiddiya, are no less than those roused by the entertainment city itself.
Themed Elements for 6 Themed Areas
As we mentioned, Amusement Logic was entrusted with the design and execution of a wide array of elements for the monumental Six Flags Qiddiya theme park. These included artificial rocks, façade cladding, props, canopies, and various objects and materials. This work by the company, currently well underway, is essential to creating a distinctive atmosphere that stimulates the unique experience of each of the 6 themed areas into which the master plan divides Six Flags Qiddiya; in short, it is necessary to transport visitors to these new, unusual, and unique worlds. These six themed worlds are as follows:
– Steam Town, “where the past and the future collide.”
– Twilight Gardens, a “secret garden” by day and an “enchanted forest” by night.
– Discovery Springs, an “ancient oasis” where “water is always flowing.”
– City Thrills, a “kinetic cityscape” featuring the aforementioned record-breaking roller coaster, Falcon’s Flight.
– Valley of Fortune, “a wealth of adventure.”
– And Grand Exposition, a return “to the nostalgic world of the expos of yesterday.”
This is how magic happens, and how the work of the company’s great team of more than 200 people is adding to the story that the Six Flags Qiddiya theme park will tell when it opens to the public at the end of the year (2025). Qiddiya City, and with it Six Flags Qiddiya, will undoubtedly become a global benchmark for leisure, tourism, and entertainment, but also for innovation and unprecedented experiences. When we reach the end of this thematic journey, we will tell you again about Amusement Logic’s work at Six Flags Qiddiya. Don’t miss the news!
