This is in a city of 7 million people.. and there are another 7 million within 10 hours. there's like 6 times more people in the vacinity of this than cedar point has.
youd be suprised, its arleady a good tourist spot. this is gonna be massive, especially with f1. it will thrive no matter what. and if it doesnt who cares, those 12 locals bought the place for themselves lol. they enjoy it too
You mean six flags and rattler 😂. That was the worst abuse of using a cliff to get height. They had the tallest wooden coaster all planned out (all 160’ of it) till cedar point opened up mean streak up at the 161’ that same season 😆. They went and reconfigured the coaster to go over the cliff face and screwed it’s all up after that.
A little more insight from my side (I am a Coaster Enthusiast) The Hill on Falcons Flight after the Cliff drop is still big enough to make it the tallest rollercoaster in the world. There is a Wooden Coaster, a Tilt Rollercoaster (with a tilting track before the drop), a launch coaster with a large so called "Top-Hat". I can recall from my mind. The Park is being built by the Quiddya Group and SixFlags is acting as a consultant (they are paying 0 to the construction) Falcons Flight is the exact same size as when it was announced.
The hill after the drop is actually bigger than the drop, they do this by having a booster launch on the strait section after the tunnel, also the coaster with the "top hat" is in the style on top thrill 2 but with an airtime hill and an inverted top hat instead.
I saw the animated POV for Falcons Flight, and honestly didn't really believe it. This is the first I'm seeing of the construction pictures and my jaw is on the floor. :O Looks like the rest of the park will be absolutely astounding as well!
I’d say the height counts as the height of the airtime hill as it’s a freestanding structure, still makes it the tallest rollercoaster in the world at 500+ ft
as a coaster enthusiast, and a sports fan who’s been watching you for a while, thank you for updating us on the construction edit: this “Six flags” park isn’t even funded by six flags it’s funded by the group “Qiddaya” (hence the name six flags qiddaya) From how it seemed when it was announced, Six flags wanted a park overseas and Qiddaya wanted a big name attached so it sounded like an agreement to use the six flags name
I don’t assume you mean to steal a comment, but there is a comment that said the same thing, was uploaded an hour before, and only has like 70% of the likes yours has.
Using the cliff makes sense since it means less money to spend on supports and also the development of such a large structure. I can see it taking away from the fear factor though since youre technically not that high off the ground.
So how much power is it going to take for the linear magnets to get it to the top of the cliff and where is is coming from Are they building a power plant next to it Good luck traveling to that part of the world to ride it
My question is, what wheels are they going to use for this coaster? A normal roller coaster wheel like shown in the train picture is too small to handle this type of sustained speed and force. If they use a normal sized wheel, they are going to be delaminating like crazy if they can't keep the heat under control.
I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years during the 80s/90s. They've come a long way since no women drivers, no theaters and standing up while pooping (look that one up).
"That's cheating" but like who gives a shit lmao, a never-before-seen 600ft drop is still a never-before-seen 600ft drop. Where the supports are anchored won't effect the experience, just the marketing. Plus, if we need something to complain about in regards to this coaster, I got a long list of human rights violations that are way more deserving of our attention
Using the cliff essentially as supports is definitely not cheating. All of the elements, as well as the entire circuit are still larger than anything in existence.
Why tf couldn’t they have done this in the US? 😢 Use like, the Rocky Mountains or something if you need to. I heard Denver needs an ACTUAL amusement park.
Saudi Arabia there building everything with borderline slave labour and unchecked safety measures? 🤔😨 I certainly won’t be in the first queue to try it….. 😬
I'd like to get the credit, but I'm a little worried about ending up on an auction block or something -- as an American white male I don't want to become another statistic. But I really need to get on this, so I'll probably risk it.
Damn shame I'll never even consider visiting Saudi Arabia. Bummer I'll never get to ride it. Probably only have a few years before it goes bankrupt too. Unless the princes money is supporting it. It's exactly the same size as it was announced to be. That cliff is enormous. The hill after the cliff drop is 600 feet or something ALONE.
It’s near a city with a population of 8 million people with a huge tourist industry! Even if the park ran at a loss it will still bring in huge wealth for the area.
@@droningoninscotland6124 I am from Saudi Arabia and i live in Riyadh, I know my country well, woman has a great respect and all their rights here. Don't talk about my country while you dont know anything about it. Women live in dignity, modesty, respect and full rights here in Saudi Arabia, which is the opposit in most of other countries, where women is treated like a proberty or a product. The problem lies in that these people does not even know what women freedom is, they think it is nudity, prostituition, etc.
@@hamadalkalbani4122 saudi arabia treats women badly. They can't marry without permission, can't travel without permission, their contact with men is limited, their choice of clothes is limited, their testimony in court is worth half of a man's, can't get medical treatment without permission, can't have custody of their children till they're teenagers, they can't open a bank without permission, the list goes on....
honestly i doubt it, since ive been living in saudi arabia my whole (was born here) all these events that happen, every year it becomes bigger and bigger, id say around till 2030 it'll be hyped up
Man all of the coaster enthusiasts and the 12 locals that will go to this park will love this coaster...
This is in a city of 7 million people.. and there are another 7 million within 10 hours. there's like 6 times more people in the vacinity of this than cedar point has.
So true 😔

yeah lmaoooo
Western countries are lame so it won't go there anyways
“They’re cheating by using the cliff”. Bro, the camelback is taller than Kingda Ka. No cliff section and it’d still be the tallest coaster ever.
"They're cheating by using the cliff"
Kennywood: 👀👀👀
@@shambooki4224kennywood has to use the cliff, as it’s the only thing they have to make coasters
Yeah this vid is dumb lol

Bro what's wrong with iron rattler@@danhallas3546
It's still the tallest coaster if you don't count the cliff drop.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t include the cliff drop though. The track is still going down 600 ft or whatever the measurement is
@@bakerfx4968people like to hate its free internet points
They gave Intimin a blank check and said do whatever the hell you want
I get it.
Lifetime supply of oil too .

Yeah, I was going to say, the airtime hill after the cliff dive makes it the tallest coaster in the world. Not the insane cliff dive.
The hill after the drop is actually bigger than the drop, they do this by having a booster launch on the strait section after the tunnel, also the coaster with the "top hat" is in the style on top thrill 2 but with an airtime hill and an inverted top hat instead.
@@Leftpeg8379I’m pretty sure the cliff is the tallest part at 640ft, but the airtime hill is the largest drop at 520ft
was hoping some1 would update us.. thanks! im still in disbelief that this park is a thing. so many years of failed projects lol
The Middle East love wasting money

My dude are you a time traveler? You said “Most of these are from April..some of them are from MAY..”. Ummm… WUT? 😂
SAME THOUGHT 😭
Same thing here
I think he probably ment March you can hear in his voice that he was too excited. But I don't blame him. 😂
Unless he meant march
I don’t assume you mean to steal a comment, but there is a comment that said the same thing, was uploaded an hour before, and only has like 70% of the likes yours has.
To get it in perspective, the Vekoma tilt coaster is 60 meters or 196 ft. tall.
Ginormous
“These are from April 2024 but also from May” 🤔
We haven’t finished April yet 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing though. Massive coaster!!!
Very nice.
Wondering how these pics are from May bro
Just the fact that they are actually “doing” it is proof enough. That’s insane though, that’s a serious piece of engineering right there. Wow.
Looks like the first coaster everyone makes when playing planet coaster for the first time
honestly i didn't expect this to be real. what the hell
When they came up with this ride..... Did they give Planet Coaster to an extremely bored 6 year old and say "Whatever you make, we'll build it".
It still is the tallest coaster the floater hill goes above 500😭
Fr
how will they deal with runs that get stuck at the top of the hill and other malfunctions
Using the cliff makes sense since it means less money to spend on supports and also the development of such a large structure. I can see it taking away from the fear factor though since youre technically not that high off the ground.
The air time hill that follows the cliff drop is taller than Kingda Ka, which will makes this by all means the tallest roller coaster in the planet.😊
So how much power is it going to take for the linear magnets to get it to the top of the cliff and where is is coming from
Are they building a power plant next to it
Good luck traveling to that part of the world to ride it

If they use a normal sized wheel, they are going to be delaminating like crazy if they can't keep the heat under control.
The coaster goes down the cliff with a 600 foot drop.. then up and over the giant 500+ foot hill.
0:50 The free standing hill is going to 79ft taller than Kingda Ka also, so...
even the first airtime hill is over 500ft, so yh its not cheating. it really is over 100ft taller, 200ft if you count the cliff
Six flags, the most popular park, is a magic mountain, which is in Santa clarita, CA.
The question is....
will people survive??
The thing is the camelback after the cliff drop is like 100 feet taller than kingda ka
It’s Quidya… they prolly just threw Intamin a blank check, and the cliff isn’t cheating, even if it was, main hill still beats ka by 50 feet.
How is it cheating using a cliff? There’s only so high you can build with just the usual scaffolding. A cliff still means there’s a large drop
This is gonna be insane I would actually travel to Saudi for this thing in the blistering heat of the desert .
theres absolutely no way this is opening this october 😭😭
Hope the one percent club enjoys it !
I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years during the 80s/90s. They've come a long way since no women drivers, no theaters and standing up while pooping (look that one up).
They still stand while pooping.
@@dextermorgan1 we dont, i have no clue what ur yapping abt
@@dextermorgan1
Says you 🤣🤣
i'm gonna guess this is gonna be the biggest Six Flags lol
It's opening next year!
Six Flags has had multiple parks in Europe already
No
The cliff isn't the tallest point so it is the tallest!
top thrill 2 after this: 😳
Time to book my tickets to Riyadh!
Even if the cliff is cheating the airtime hill is 500 feet tall lol
"That's cheating" but like who gives a shit lmao, a never-before-seen 600ft drop is still a never-before-seen 600ft drop.

How cool would it be to go on that and they just let it run like four laps in a row.
It's MASSIVE
the cliff might be cheating but the cammel back will be taller anyways so it would still be tall enough to claim the height record without the cliff
there is no way this is open to the public. how can the avg human body withstand that speed? a drop from that height?
What's wrong with using the terrain to their advantage? That's budgeting and coaster making 101
the wildest thing imo, is that there is a water park in the middle of a desert.
*_Oh, so they ARE building it._*
The base plate on the diagonal support at :40 is horribly deformed. It should be flat against the concrete footer.
Its gonna be the best roller coaster ride experience in the world that airtime on the big drop and the airtime hill will be ubsurd
big
Falcon’s Flight even not finished had a baby & that baby is the wooden roller coaster next to it
2nd airtime hill is still the tallest in the world. 535 ft
The Line is not scaling down. It's just a bunch of UA-camrs making up stories for clicks.
There is no way it’s going to be ready for October
yea the park is supposed to open around 2028
well the first phase is gonna be open, so prob 1/4th of the park or maybe 2/4th
Now that’s a coaster
The hill after the cliff is the tallest point
5:54 I think the continued high gas prices is helping out with this park investment...
Building on a mountain, one word….EROSION! 😮😮😮😮
I hate that Six Flags doesn't care enough to do anything this cool or innovative in the US
Hey I was looking at Sim City 3000 recently and it reminded me of you.
If you even survive the ride on Falcons Flight then the ride will be worth it.
But did you see the renderings?
Using the cliff essentially as supports is definitely not cheating. All of the elements, as well as the entire circuit are still larger than anything in existence.
Great update. We need multiple daily updates like Hyperia in the UK!
If you have a rollback on this ur cooked lmao
This must be a maintenance nightmare, or there's some ridiculous technology on it
E P I C
Why tf couldn’t they have done this in the US? 😢 Use like, the Rocky Mountains or something if you need to. I heard Denver needs an ACTUAL amusement park.
because us doesnt wanna invest this much money LMAO
Because it would be exorbitantly expensive without the access to slave labor that Saudi Arabia has.
No, we protect our beautiful national parks and landscapes
I didn't know six flags had amusement parks in the middle east.
DP, you should do more rollee coaster stuff and more stuff about the middle east building stupid stuff to get attention.
Holy shit it's real???
Saudi Arabia there building everything with borderline slave labour and unchecked safety measures? 🤔😨
I certainly won’t be in the first queue to try it….. 😬
Cedar Point punching the air right now
It’s an intamin so it’s going to be breaking down a lot
Absolutely nobody is saying that using the cliff is "cheating".
saying it cheats by using the cliff is an insult to iron rattler.
Imagine if it only operates using one train only
I'd like to get the credit, but I'm a little worried about ending up on an auction block or something -- as an American white male I don't want to become another statistic. But I really need to get on this, so I'll probably risk it.
Bro Saudi Arabia isn't kidnapping white people for slavery, they just pay pennies to Pakistanis and Africans
This park is designed for you what are you talking about you think they won't take your money. Do you think they're going to arrest tourists? Come on
Check your bias buddy
Haha what😂 you won't be in any danger, you are literally their market audience
WHEN WAS THIS GETTING BUILT
Years into the making
this should be borderline illegal
Enjoy the downtime with this coaster everyday… gonna be a maintenance nightmare
Omg it’s real
I'm a complete coaster fanatic. Honestly don't care about this ride one bit. Its way too Saudi Arabia ish. Id rather go on an old crappy wood coaster.
These pictures don’t look real to me. But we’ll see I guess
I told mom you have a chatter bait account
I think intamin is gonna retire after this 😅.
I hope some laws change over there before it opens because I really wanna ride it
What laws are you referring to just be a tourist show up ride the rides and leave that's all you got to do
Damn shame I'll never even consider visiting Saudi Arabia. Bummer I'll never get to ride it. Probably only have a few years before it goes bankrupt too. Unless the princes money is supporting it.
