"A record-breaking theme park will open in Saudi Arabia later this month. Six Flags Qiddiya City will open on Dec. 31, anchoring the country's new hub for entertainment, culture, and sport. Promising a "blend of epic thrills, cultural storytelling, and sustainability," the ambitious project will feature 28 attractions, including 10 thrill rides, family experiences, and five world record-breaking roller coasters."

"The park's crown jewel, Falcon's Flight, will be the world's longest, tallest, and fastest roller coaster. With soaring speeds of up to about 155 mph and a peak height of over 600 feet, it will feature an innovative windshield that negates the need for disposable protection goggles, saving on plastic waste. Additionally, it will use energy-efficient technology to cool its wheels. The coaster will run alongside the professional motorsport circuit, Qiddiya Speed Park."
