The World’s only ever Dragon Ball theme park is coming to Saudi Arabia as part of “Qiddiya” giga project, a multibillion-dollar entertainment destination by Qiddiya Investment Company.
The Dragon Ball theme park will boast a whopping size of over 500,000 square meters and feature seven different areas that recreate various iconic locales from the original series, such as Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus’s Planet.
At the park, visitors will be able to join an adventure with Goku and pals as they enjoy the world of Dragon Ball, from the very beginning of the anime all the way up through Dragon Ball Super.
Iconic features
The anime theme park offers over 30+ rides with five groundbreaking attractions, accessible to everyone, pushing the boundaries of ride experiences. And if that wasn’t already exciting enough, construction of a 70-meter-high Shenron is also planned, with this landmark containing a large-scale roller coaster inside.
In addition, there will also be fully stocked hotels and restaurants available at the park to enable fans to immerse themselves in the world of Dragon Ball for an entire day of fun.
Park-goers can embark on a journey and immerse themselves in interactive and explorable landmarks from the Dragon Ball sagas, such as “Kame House”, “Capsule Corporation” and “Beerus’ Planet”.
This latest move is in line with Qiddiya’s long-term strategic partnership with Toei Animation, Japan‘s leading animation company and original animators of Dragon Ball.
