Faster, higher, longer! A new roller coaster being built outside the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh will set world records in all of those areas when it opens at Six Flags Qiddiya in 2023.
The Falcon s Flight coaster will travel about two and a half miles at speeds of up to 155 miles per hour. One of the vertical cliff dives will fall about 525 feet into a valley by using magnetic motor acceleration, the company said in a release earlier this year. Each three-minute ride will carry up to 20 passengers, who will also experience three electromagnetic propulsion launch systems. The ride will be the world s tallest freestanding coaster featuring a parabolic airtime hill allowing a weightlessness airtime experience, the release explained. For those who aren t distracted by the thrills, Falcon s Flight will also offer panoramic views of the park.
