US amusement park corporation Six Flags announced that they're building 12 record-breaking attractions in Saudi Arabia, including what will be the world's fastest, tallest, and longest roller coaster ride.

The upcoming theme part is called Qiddiya and according to Six Flags’ Senior Vice President, David McKillips, the park will be “the most unique Six Flags theme park ever built.”

Six Flags Qiddiya will open its doors to the public in 2023, with key entertainment features that will set many world records and are designed exclusively for Qiddiya.

Located just outside Riyadh, the theme park is promised to become the kingdom's capital of entertainment.

As a place that will create indelible memories and moments of delight, telling stories that resonate with our guests is a central notion that will be evident throughout Qiddiya."
