“What we are doing today goes beyond simply developing a project, it is about building a city and shaping the future of entire sectors. God willing, the Kingdom will be among the leading countries in the fields of entertainment, sports, culture and tourism” he said.

En route to the park, Qiddiya executives welcomed members of the press to their grand project as mountains made way to rollercoaster views.

The park is the first Six Flags outside of North America and forms part of Qiddiya Investment Co.’s flagship development.
