THE faster, taller and longer roller coaster in the world will reach maximum speed of 250 km/h will have a peak of 195 meters high and will complete the 4.3 kilometers In 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
These are some of the records that Falcon’s Flight will reach when it is officially open to the public in the Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia. The theme park is expected to open the doors in 2025, still without a specific date.
The roller coaster rails were finalized on December 12, 2024, as announced by Intamin, a Swiss company specializing in design and building attractions around the world.
The company has a presence in Brazil with Vuang, the “dark mountain of the dark” in Hopi Hari, and Big Tower, Beto Carrero World’s free fall tower. She will also be responsible for the Super Gyro Tower Observation Tower in Balneário Camboriú.
How will the attraction be
Adventurers will be launched at a speed of about 160 km/h to the top of a cliff, where a vertical drop in the cliff will boost the cart at a top speed of 250 km/h.
Here, the height difference between the lowest point and the highest point is 195 meters. Based on the soil, the highest point will be 162 meters, when the cart will undergo a “camelback”, a type of elevation designed for passengers to feel the feeling of weight no weight.
The roller coaster cart will send to a hawk with the front car sculpted like the bird’s head. Each train will be equipped with windshields on the sides so that passengers enjoy the experience without special glasses due to high speed.
According to the attraction page on the Six Flags Qiddiya website, only people will be allowed between 1.30 and 1.96 meters to try the attraction. Before entering the cart, the guidelines say that all passengers will go through a metal detector and will be checked in search of loose items.
