"The park will feature what will be the world's tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster. Falcons Flight is an Intamin coaster that will reach a top speed of 155 mph with a drop of 519 feet on nearly 14,000 feet of track. The park will feature seven other coasters as well as multiple dark rides and water rides. That has made the park a dream destination for many fans around the world."
"Stand-up comedians who took that gig have been getting roasted online, both by fans and other comedians. Many fans are not buying the claim that Saudi Arabia is attempting to diversify its oil-driven economy by creating more tourist attractions and events that welcome Western visitors. Instead, they just see a cynical attempt to whitewash the country's reputation for violent repression and those who go along as sell-outs."
Six Flags Qiddiya City will be the first Six Flags-branded park outside North America and is expected to open within months. The park will include Falcons Flight, an Intamin coaster reaching 155 mph, dropping 519 feet across nearly 14,000 feet of track, plus seven other coasters, multiple dark rides, and water rides. The project has attracted fan excitement as a theme-park destination. Saudi Arabia's recent Riyadh Comedy Festival has provoked backlash against performers seen as legitimizing the regime. Similar debates are likely when the park opens, generating ragebait engagement that social media and search algorithms reward with traffic and ad revenue.
