- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- Saudi Arabia might soon be home to an all new theme park from Six Flags, which is set to contain the worlds tallest, longest, and fastest roller coaster, dubbed Falcon's Flight. In addition, other attractions are said to include a multi launch coaster, tilt coaster, hybrid coaster, drop tower, pendulum, and more! In this video, I'll break down the announcement and talk about what we should expect.

That reveal for Falcon’s Flight was the goofiest thing I’ve ever seen, it looked like a Planet Coaster layout made by a 10 year old. It’s going to be like the coaster tower in Orlando and keep on getting delayed until it’s eventually forgotten. If it does open, however, I’ll be happily surprised.
Very 6 flags esc tbh
About that coaster in orlando. Are there any updates on that. Haven't heard of that for a long while
@@vegguid According to a quick google, the website for it has been taken down, so it's pretty much canceled for all intents and purposes. The last official update (years and years ago) said that it would open in 2019. Guess not!
fr I'm 13 and I've been to like 14 parks, and I can build a better coaster than that
I first got planet coaster as a 9 year old. I can confirm this statement.
Can someone else spend their money on La Ronde, Great Escape, and SFA and then have Six Flags slap their name on those too?
hahaha, good ol' Chris...!
Great escape is my home park. It really saddens me. This year they tried repainting the water slides. The paint is already chipping and bad. The park is just sad...
Ternedo great escape is my home park as well. I have refused to go back until they add a new roller coaster. Used to buy season passes but alas no more. It sucks
+Frontier City and Darien Lake
My home park is laronde and it’s so trash. And now it’s gonna be more trash cuz it’s probably gonna get green lantern lol
That coaster looks like one you would build in RCT3 sandbox mode as a little kid.
Yeeep😂😂. Diffiys physics👍. Jerky👍. Bad graphics👍.
I went down to the comments to say this exact thing
I now wanna build this in rct
First change in Falcon's Flight layout: Bank the track!
genius
JLW Games your videos are so boring
@@heyitsmaggiexxo ok. find a channel you enjoy then :)
JLW Games I have an it’s definitely not your creepy looking ass
@@heyitsmaggiexxo hey respect the drip karen
So let me get this straight
They give there North America parks Free spins and Superloops
And then give this park one of a kind attraction going like 500 ft in the air and is like 4 minutes long
The park does look amazing tho and Falcons Flight looks like something from Planet coaster
Exactly
It won't really go 200 mph like the meter says though. That part is fake. Also they should have made a professional animation/simulation. That animation was made in Planet Coaster by someone who didn't know how to play Planet Coaster.
@@chiefbeef6251 it wasnt made in planet coaster
Chief Beef The meter in the animation is meant to represent kilometers per hour.
Chief Beef it wasn’t 200 mph. That was kph.
I have an odd suspicion in ten years this whole idea will be featured in one of Theme Park Crazy's "FAILED" series.
I hate theme park crazy
@@MsBeccajoy why?
@@MsBeccajoy is it because he won’t be talking about this park for an understandable reason?
Hey Coaster Studios, this park is also offering the world's tallest drop tower

THAT'S 656 FEET. what are they thinking?
They are located in the mountains and they do have 200m high cliffs. Could be a terrain coaster.
@@suepierce4478 still a 656 feet drop make no sense what ever way you put it.

This will be finished around the same time as the polar coaster in Florida.
Fuzzy Tabby Never
I personally don't think Falcon's Flight is real, and I personally don't think this park will happen. But only time will tell.
Why do you think this park wont happen
@Brendan Boedy Six Flags is just giving their name and advice, the Qiddiya group is funding, and operating this park
@Brendan Boedy six flags isn't funding the project!!! It's Qiddiya, which is a hell a rich company!!!
@Brendan Boedy Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision project is basically when Saudi Arabia runs out of oil. They will need a way to make money. So their building a bunch of tourist attractions. So this means six flags in part of Saudi's 2030 vision project...
Sumbtch because its not a vekoma slc and all coasters that arent slcs suck ass
"They're gonna build a new coaster to break all the records!"
Yay, can't wait to go!
"It's gonna be built in the middle of a desert in a backwards theocratic dictatorship!"
Never mind.

Taylor.... i would firstly like to commend how perfectly executed this analysis is. It’s so much more realistic than any other out there and a much more fact based down to earth description and lets people realize how many efforts have to come together to successfully achieve such a monumental challenge. You’re a very talented young man and I’d love to see more content from you. If you could throw in more longer vlogs so we get a better taste of your trails and tribulations of your adventures it’d be so much more satisfying as an overall package. Keep up the fine work my young Man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
badmoon rising22 thank you so much!
2023 is so, so short to build a park this big. Disneyland Paris, another heavily themed park build from the ground up was also build in 4 years but had many fewer attractions at opening day. Only a single rollercoaster, four dark rides and a handfull of flatrides. They might have crazy amounts of money from the crown prince. But time cannot be bought.
Zodayn oil money has no bounds. Also labor laws aren’t the same. They’ll build it quick
@@Jadentheman Boy I hope you're wrong. I doubt it though. Wouldn't it reflect poorly on Six Flags and the American and European ride manufacturers if parts of and arround their attractions are build that way?
@@Jadentheman Yes, lots of Indians, Filipinos, and Africans willing to work in Saudi... cheap labor is no problem for these guys to find.
I guess a giga was in the shed
If cedar fair owned it, it would just be called “Qiddiya”
True
Cedar Fair would do a much better job than six flags.
Gideon Kortan more so, they would actually open it
@@artnbookscentral8633 How would cedar fair do a better job? We have a bit of concert art and that's it...
W Christman cedar fair actually chooses quality over quantity unlike six flags
a 800 foot intamin in a mountain 250 kmph
a rmc
the biggest loop coaster in the world
a beyond vertical goldenhorse/vekoma tilt coaster
are these guys fr
The mountain idea to me would not be good in my opinion i feel like the pest and vermin would be a pain the spiders,scorpions and snakes over there are worst there then the United states. The most venomous arachnids are there. Death stalkers are the most venomous and lethal scorpion in the world
Taylor in 2019: "I mean, you have to think. 2023, that's four years from now, a lot of things can happen!"
2020: A global pandemic...
(Falcons flight announced)
Enthusiasts: (zim voice) YOU LIE! YOU LIIIIIIIIEEEEEE
Cheat and steal
NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!
With the exception of you saying this will be built "in a random place in the middle of nowhere lol, i really enjoyed your raw and honest analysis. I agree with most of what you said. I'm a Saudi coaster fan and I travel the world chasing coasters (ie last month I did Steel vengeance, Taron and Untamed!) so my excitement is biased towards the dream of this happening 20 minutes from where I live - but I do subscribe to a lot of what you said about scale and time,. However, as a local, having seen how other recent mega projects in the last couple of years have developed and broke grounds & progressed, almost always successfully and on time, makes me think this will indeed happen. and I hope that when it does, I'll be your tour guide in Riyadh. Thanks for the videos.
You're right Faisal. You are not in the middle of nowhere. I looked at some pictures of Riyadh and the "GP" would think it was Dubai. I hope you get this park, it looks awesome.
6:52 Somebody probably lost something out of his pocket. 🤣
You may not survive Falcon’s Flight but it will be the tallest, fastest and longest for sure!!
8:23 “that’s 2023 that’s 4 years from now a lot of things could happen” you were absolutely insanely spot on, I mean nobody could’ve predicted that the worst case of all worst case scenarios, COVID, would be the one to mess everything up
taylor: not gonna happen
Qiddiya: announces Falcons flight and shows people planning it
Taylor: well frik
lmao i came here after Intamin announced it
Falcon's Flight reminds me of the time I built a roller coaster in RCT3 called "The Brain Pulverizer".
Saudi Arabia huh?
I’m assuming the women will not be allowed on the bumper cars.
Ahmed AlGahnim “Brock your legs”
Patrick Richardson we use to say that in Saudi Arabia
@Ahmed AlGahnim mmm, the Saudi government said a Saudi tourist visa will be available soon.
Watch out boys... he’s going to brock your leg.

Cedar point:I break records and the best of the best

No alcohol in Saudi Arabia though... hold my coffee just doesn't have the same ring to it.

0:14 That's my local park!! Thunder Falls, a family super flume with backward track, Everland, South Korea
It looks cool! I'd rather go there than to that new ''Six Flags''.
i wish they just sort out their human rights before getting loads of money from tourism
just dont break the law bruv
Mohammed S literally just by existing i would be breaking the law, despite doing nothing wrong

Mohammed S i am gay!!

Well Six Flags does have some expertise on success, especially in the general public’s eye with their sheer size and name. It’s a well loved brand outside the enthusiast community so makes sense. Hardly anyone knows the name of any other theme park owners since their name isn’t on the entrance if every park 🤷🏼♂️
Devin Schroath that’s a Fair point. They have made a name for themselves, that’s for sure
Devin Schroath The only issue I have seen with this outside of the enthusiast community is that a vast majority don’t know there is more that one Six Flags park. It’s crazy the number of times I’ve had to explain that. But I do agree with the fact that they have a strong brand.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw the title.
Six flags operates like a business. They are not going to pour money into a park with low attendance or no room for growth. The only reason this park could get built is because it's someone else's money.
Wow, this park looks great. If only I could go to it without being murdered.
Same.
Saudi Arabia is fairly safe. You probably have as much of a chance of being gunned down by some white supremacist here.
@@casedinlight Except for the fact that I'm both gay and trans which is outlawed in Saudi Arabia.
casedinlight more shootings are caused by Obama’s sons than “white supremacy”. Fact!
@@jdrammer5664 If it's a fact I wouldn't mind a source or two
The Qiddiya Group's holdings in the desert is HUGE, over twice the size of Walt Disney World. It is 40 minutes outside Riyadh in the mountainous, rocky desert (200m cliffs could make for a heck of a terrain coaster). Phase I is set for to open in 2023 and they have a lot of money, so who knows? As for Six Flags involvement, I say the less the better.
Six Flags been smoking that Bin Laden weed
6:41 top right corner is a vekoka SLC 😬😬😬
that will probably be build
I think that's an SFC or STC
Cedar Point Fanboy shut yor mowth vekoma slc are best coaster in the world.
Cedar Point Fanboy cedar point is gae
I'm honestly hoping Falcon's Flight gets built. It's so outlandish and ridiculous... that I honestly love it. Plus, nothing to me is truly impossible.
It’s impossible lmfao
Well that's just nice
If only they had rights
Physics.
To be fair the last park cedar fair opened was also in the 70s the 1870s
LOL good one Joey! All their other parks were acquired....
Oh, it's in Saudi Arabia?
In that case, this is actually probably going to happen. Saudi Arabia is a bit like the UAE these days - they know that their oil is eventually going to run out, so they're dumping all their liquid capital into solid assets in order to maintain a strong economy afterwards.
Of course, _when_ it happens is another thing.
Yeah, I saw that rendering yesterday and instantly thought this was not gonna work. And if it is real, everything you mentioned is true. Cedar fair would do a lot better with this project (my opinion). But if cedar fair takes The park,witch they won’t, they wouldn’t build falcons fury. BTW: I love the channel and the content on it. You got me into roller coasters and thought me a lot. Not that important but I got LROTNOB ( behemoth )
How would cedar fair do a better job? We have a bit of concert art and that's it...
It’s just my opinion of what we know
Plus cedar fair doesn’t have the name recognition
3:54, no it could also be a Gravity Group or smaller GCI.
B&M Hyper Fanboy like I said, just my guess. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was another manufacturer. We will just have to wait and see.
true, the steal thing might even be GCI with their new style it'd be partially steel the way they plan to do inversions. Either that or it's just going to be like Goliath but sized down. I doubt Gravity Group unless they are just being silly claiming steel (maybe steel supports) with wooden track, which really isn't a hybrid. Kinda, but definitely one of those "it's not a" marketing gimmicks.
King da ka says no
7:58 if you want a recent example of a delayed project...
come down to my park. I’ll be happy to show you.
And yes, we’ll see West Coast Racers.
I love this planet coaster map, where can I download it?
“See west coast racers”
That hit hard 😂😂😂😂
Park: opens delayed without several major rides, looks like crap
Taylor: writes negative park review script at hotel
Saudi Arabia: *diddly dan, there goes your hand*
Whats interesting, is that intamin confirmed that this is happening, so this is an interesting way to start off 2021
Then Cedar Point sees this and tries to outdo Falcon's Flight and does the 500 foot Trex! Lol
If nothing else, this release gave all the coaster channels something to talk about for a couple of days. Not to mention the inevitable progress, speculation, analysis, and "what went wrong?" videos over the next several years. It's a gift!
Imagine if they actually opened the park and it was still a major failure because despite trying to increase tourism, you have rules banning certain groups of tourists. geNiUs.
jayduh lu lol they could as well go ahead and build the park in North Korea
No need for tourists, there is 7.2 million human in Riyadh and they need parks
This is one of the most cynical yet honest theme park reaction/prediction videos I've ever seen. Well done!
Falcons flight looks like when I used to design roller coasters as a kid before I knew what physics was
This park looks like something out of a dream, a dream that looks too good to be true. This park looks ridiculous. Even if this park gets ends up opening, there is no way the rides we see in this concept will be built. Instead we may see a little more toned down versions of the rides shown in the renderings, and by toned down I mean not insane looking roller coasters that do extremely wacko maneuvers.
First of all... Falcon's Flight is not happening. There is no way a roller coaster of that scale is even remotely affordable. That being said I do feel like this park could get Intamin to build the new world's tallest and fastest roller coaster tho, something along the lines of Kingda Ka, but taller and faster. 492 ft (150 m) maybe?
In terms of the other coasters. There is an RMC ground up hybrid, a multi-launch coaster (either Intamin or Premier), as well as a tilt coaster (likely Vekoma). If this park gets built, these coasters won't be as insane as they appear in the concept art. THAT TILT COASTER HAS A SPIRAL DROP LIKE WTF??? That is definitely going to change into a regular straight down drop in the final drafts for that ride. Also that multi-like launch coaster looks insanely huge. The only coaster that sounds realistic is that RMC!
All this negativity put aside, I really hope this park gets built. I also hope that Six Flags and the Qiddiya group don't get to far ahead of themselves to the point this whole plan gets out of reach. They should start small and slow, and see where that takes them.
Who’s here after Falcons flight was announced?
It's funny you say Six Flags Fiesta Texas Vibes because when at first when i saw the promo for Falcon's Fury I thought that's why they were putting it 😂
I can’t wait 😩🇸🇦❤️
أتوقع راح تبنى بس ما اتوقع تكون بنفس المواصفات اللي في الفيديو لانها أبدًا مو منطقية من ناحية السرعة والارتفاع
El Pistolero كثير يقولون كذا لاكن مستحيل يعلنون عن شيء كذب ما اتوقع وش الفايده اذا طلع في الاعلان نوع من اللعب على السائح بس صراحه الى الحين اشوف اكثر الترفيهيات في السعوديه اسعارها نار احس ما ينبسط الطبقه الغنيه الي عايدي يدفعون اما المتوسطه تلاقيه يدفع ويتحسف بعدين والفقير مو قادر يخش لو حجت البقره على قرونها مثل ما قالوا لاكن انصح الطبقه المتوسطه اذا بيدفعون يدفعون برا اماكن جديده واجواء تختلف واحلى ومجتمع جديد الا في حاله وحده اذا الترفيه عدلت من القيمه التذاكر او مستقبلاً يسوون زي دوله من الدول شعب الدوله يدفعون سعر والسياح الخارجيين يدفعون سعر ثاني 🤷🏻♂️ اشوف كذا افضل كثير اشوفها برا اتمنا تطبق عندنا
First: to expensive
Second: maintenance crew will cry
Hey Taylor I got another one of your T-shirts for my birthday today
8:23 "All sorts of things can happen between now and then."
Ahhhh yes I’ve been waiting 24 hrs for this video 😌❤️
I’ll be flying to Saudi Arabia as well. Maybe not opening week, or month...I’d probably want to give them a bit of time to work out the kinks. How exciting. I’m keeping optimistic.
If cedar point goes 500 ft in 2020 falcons fury will be like intimidator compared to I305
Cedar point isn’t adding any coasters in 2020
For some reason I like eating cereal while watching Taylor’s vids
Yes build it and one tip from me is make some stuff indoors cause a lot of sand out there. But I would go
When you get drunk and play planet coaster
/ that ride
I like that Six Flags are planning an international overdrive of investment (I really hope we get a Six Flags in my hometown UK). But I personally feel that Six Flags should focus on parks like Six Flags America, La Ronde, Great Escape, Frontier City, Darien Lake, Six Flags St Louis, etc. The parks that need multi million developments that make it equal to the likes of Great Adventure and Magic Mountain
I'm confident they will make it (it will be delayed tho as you said).
And I'm betting the huge records breaking ride will be a RMC T-Rex, not an intamin.
Looks like they didn’t use “depump vertices”
🤣
Ahh I was at magic mountain when they were filming that Saudi promo. I was wondering what it was for
Im both exited and mindblown about this
I love how you mention Fiesta Texas when this park has a tilt coaster named Iron Rattler Mine Train. lol
i looked it up here in 2020 and it looks like its still on. construction is hapining
I am actually a saudi myself and used to live near riyadh and if this actually happens I am going to be beyond excited. There are a few theme parks out here such as shallal theme park and jungle land (honestly jungle land is so awesome and goodly themed). I think the animation was made by the saudi government who probably had no info about the coaster except the stats, but I hope this will come true😊
With $60 oil? Forget it, you have to hope IMO 2020 causes an oil crisis for this to happen
But anything can happen
Honestly, this should get a parody already
Wow you are right this seems too good to be true
falcon flight looks like they used that old trick from roller coaster tycoon where you raise the land elevation to get past the support height limits.
This park is going to flip off great adventure
This announcement reminds me of something you'd hear from the Dippin' Dots guy, if he knew how to edit video.
Looks like they will make it the tallest coaster by utilizing the canyon walls to increase height with less of the steel used on that main hill. Great concept for sure
Taylor did you notice the tilt coaster is called iron rattler
The first Six Flags park where women will be banned from entering. That's Saudi Arabia for ya. Also Tyler have fun getting a Saudi visa, it's one of the hardest tourist visas to get
Its taylor, but u r right
They have never had a formal tourist visa but they have claimed to be rolling one out next month. They want to make 150% of the tourist income that the state of florida makes. We'll see how that goes.
um there are a lot of women in the concept art :p im well aware they have their issues when it comes to human right but this is a bit of an exaggeration
They certainly won't ban women outright, but if they allow adult women in without proper headdresses is an open question
Aye shorter lines
I think your prediction about it being delayed will be correct. As far as i know, The London Entertainment Resort was announced around 2012 and meant to open in 2018/2019, but construction hasnt started yet and they're looking at at least 2023/2024. I think the park will open around 2028 - 2032.
I saw this earlier and the name INTAMIN just screamed out at me 😂 I can see them doing this and only them. But if it does get built, I sure hope it works first time and don’t have long downtime’s like the rest of their stuff. And I do see it not like this either, but this design I will say it is impressive. But unlikely to happen. We shall see.
you were the most positive youtuber about this project lol everybody else was like...it's polarcoaster 2.0
California Dreaming oh i’m still thinking there’s no way falcons flight will ever happen, but I think it’s entirely possible the park will get built. I just don’t think it’ll end up being what they’re initially advertising.
8:21 Oh you have no idea
Am I the only person wondering how their head coverings will stay on while going 156 MPH?
they'll supply carbon-fiber Arai motorcycle helmets to the riders...
This reminds me of Energylandia. Both are funded by their country's governments to build up massive, world-class attractions that would increase tourism in their countries. Looking at how Energylandia is going, this could probably work. Of course, there will be challenges, but I'm optimistic about it, and if Falcon's Flight gets built, I will do anything and everything to get there.
Meh. it seems too far-fetched for me. Also I would probably get executed there anyways.
I want a Six Flags United Kingdom
Just pointing out that the drop into the tunnel actually seems to be a launched drop as well
In the valley of fortune it looks like an upgraded mr.freeze 😂
Also never imagined I'd hear the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia brought up in a CoasterStudios video. What times we live in.
I'll believe it when it happens!
If there's anything this "announcement" confirms is that Cedar Fair might have 19 new parks to add to the chain. (Assuming this actually gets built)
When was the last time Cedar Fair added a new park to their chain anyway?
This whole park low-key was an ENTIRE fcuking fever dream
“Six flags just dropped a bomb on us”😂
I'm especially confused when looking at that drawing with the Formula 1 cars, I just assumed this park was in Abu Dhabi, but it's not? Or do they think they can host a race in Saudi Arabia in the near future as well?
I think if it does get built it's going to be S&S Sansei not Intamin. The track looks more like S&S and so does the train design plus Alan Schilke designing the layout would be plausible as he's said he'd be interested in making a huge creation like this.
looking the design of train wow this cool and badass
As someone who lives in Saudi Arabia. I can tell you the park will almost forsure be built. Issue is it'll never live up to the hype this mega projects they build never do unfortunately, and Falcons flight might be built but could you imagine how often that thing would be broken down....
