Qiddiya Partners With Six Flags To Operate Two Theme Parks

Qiddiya Investment Company has signed an agreement with Six Flags Entertainment to manage and operate two world-class parks in Qiddiya City: Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquaria. Under the agreement, Six Flags Entertainment will bring its extensive management expertise, operational excellence, and strategic vision to oversee the development and operation of the two parks in Qiddiya.

When Six Flags Qiddiya opens in late 2025, it is set to be a destination of choice for thrill-seekers, offering immersive experiences and 28 rides and experiences, including Falcon Flight, the world’s tallest, highest, and fastest roller coaster, and one of the park’s signature experiences.

Adjacent to Six Flags Qiddiya, Aquaria Water Park will feature 22 state-of-the-art water rides and experiences, including the world’s tallest roller coaster and the world’s tallest double-spin slide. The water park will also feature eight themed zones, including Surftopia, which features the Kingdom’s first surfing pool, and other water-based entertainment activities. Both parks are designed to attract both local and international visitors, reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a leading destination for family tourism and entertainment.

“Six Flags Entertainment’s expertise in theme park operations will help elevate Qiddiya’s offerings together, delivering exceptional experiences that enrich the lives of the Kingdom’s residents, in addition to enhancing the tourism sector and contributing effectively to the cultural and economic development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Abdullah Al-Dawood, Managing Director of Qiddiya Investment Company.

For his part, Six Flags CEO Salim Bassoul explained that the agreement represents a transformative opportunity for the company to bring its global entertainment innovations and experiences to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to contribute to the Qiddiya project, which will redefine global experiences and position the city as a leading destination in the world of entertainment.

The Qiddiya City project is one of the main pillars of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 programs, as it seeks to contribute to diversifying the national economy, providing hundreds of thousands of job opportunities, and enhancing the global tourism and entertainment sector. Investments in the project are estimated at billions of dollars, and the city is expected to attract millions of visitors from around the world.
