World’s longest, tallest AND fastest rollercoaster with speeds of 155mph is coming to Saudi Arabia’s new Six Flags theme park
THE tallest, fastest and longest rollercoaster in the world is set to open in 2023.
Called the Falcon’s Flight, the ride will hit dizzying speeds up to 155mph.
The ride is just one of the record-breaking attractions which will feature at the new Six Flags Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia.
A video mock up shows a four-carriage ride, each carrying four passengers, designed to look like a robotic Falcon.
The ride features a number of gravity-defying loops as well as winding tracks through the canyons.
Launch powered drops will hit speeds up to 250kph (155mph).
The 32 hectares (79 acres) Six Frags Qiddiya will have six lands.
The City of Thrills, Discovery Springs, Steam Town, Twilight Gardens, Valley of Fortune and Grand Exposition will each be themed.
Inside the park will be 28 rides and attractions.
Falcon’s Flight will feature in The City of Thrills, along with the tallest drop-tower ride in the world, Sirocco Tower.
However, social media users were dubious about the ride and whether it would structurally work.
Jake Roberts tweeted: “Until it is built and running I’m very Sceptical. Who is building this coaster? Have they released a manufacturer or any spec? The video is weird and sped up.”
Someone added: “I’m Saudi and take this from me its all animation and it wont happen, just talk no walk.”
Another person wrote: “Yeah, I’m sure this’ll actually be built.”
Six Flags first opened in 1961 in Texas.
It has since opened 19 parks across the US, Mexico and Canada with the first Six Flags in China to open next year.
Falcon’s Flight will beat the current fastest rollercoaster in the world – Formula Rossa in Abu Dhabi.
The Ferrari World ride currently accelerates from zero to 150mph in just five seconds.
