Imagine living, working, and studying in a brand-new, ultra-safe, massive entertainment city
00:06
three times the size of Paris, where you literally can never run out of things to do and places to go.
00:13
A place that is littered with all sorts of entertainment, sports, and art venues that are futuristic,
00:19
sophisticated, and luxurious, with nice and warm weather year-round.
00:24
Sounds like a far-fetched dream.
00:26
However, this is exactly what the Saudi government is building right outside its capital, Riyadh,
00:32
at the cost of $75 billion.
00:35
This amazing mega-entertainment city named Qidiyah includes the world's largest everything,
00:41
such as a water park, theme park, sports arenas including racing tracks, swimming pools, gyms, libraries,
00:48
education and innovation centers, art galleries and museums, orchestra house, dining and retail outlets,
00:55
hotels, and you name it that makes it a paradise for people of all ages and families.
01:00
We literally do not know of any mega-entertainment project to compare it with,
01:05
so here are the details of the stunning Qidiyah Entertainment City.
01:12
Saudi Arabia is fun, progressive, prosperous, and luxurious, and it is not short on entertainment venues.
01:19
However, it has a big problem.
01:22
The population of its amazing capital, Riyadh, has exploded over the past decade
01:26
and is now set to hit 8 million people in 2024.
01:31
Additionally, the city receives an average of 5 million tourists per year, and rising.
01:37
And its population is rich and young.
01:40
Nearly 70% of the population is middle or upper class,
01:44
and 65% are below the age of 26.
01:48
This has led the government to heavily invest in the city
01:51
and turn it into a truly amazing world-class city.
01:55
However, the city needs to keep up with the exploding and rising demand
01:59
for entertainment, sports, and arts.
02:02
As a result, and as part of the Saudi 2030 vision,
02:05
which includes turning the country into a global technology,
02:09
tourism, transportation, commercial, and industrial hub,
02:13
the decision was made to build the colossal, one-of-a-kind Qidiyah Entertainment City
02:18
right outside of Riyadh.
02:20
In a nutshell, once completed,
02:22
Qidiyah will be the largest hub of entertainment, sports, and the arts,
02:27
not just in the Middle East, but also in the whole world.
02:31
So what is the Qidiyah Project?
02:32
It is a very expensive and innovative mega-entertainment project
02:37
being established outside of Riyadh.
02:39
It is owned and developed by the Qidiyah Investment Company,
02:43
which is a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund,
02:46
which is owned and funded by the Saudi government.
02:49
The location of the project is also quite unique.
02:52
The distance from the center of Qidiyah to downtown Riyadh is 45 kilometers,
02:57
and 70 kilometers to King Khalid International Airport,
03:01
which is one of the top five largest and most sophisticated international airports in the world.
03:06
The Qidiyah Project site has unique geographical characteristics with mountainous terrains,
03:12
making it perfect for adventurous sports and outdoor activities.
03:15
Let's now talk about some fun.
03:17
And what we mean by that is the massive theme and water parks in Qidiyah.
03:22
Because at the end of the day, no matter how great an entertainment city is,
03:26
it would be without a soul if it did not include a water park and theme park
03:30
with some instance roller coasters.
03:33
Mind you that we did a video just about Qidiyah's $750 million water park,
03:38
so make sure to check it out.
03:40
Let's start with Six Flags Qidiyah
03:42
and the insane, unparalleled, almost complete Falcon's flight roller coaster.
03:47
Six Flags Qidiyah will be the world's largest theme park
03:50
and will cost an excess of $1 billion,
03:54
making it one of the most expensive to ever build.
03:57
The theme park spans nearly 80 acres and includes six lands,
04:02
the City of Thrills, Steamtown, Discovery Springs, Valley of Fortune,
04:07
Twilight Gardens, and Grand Exposition.
04:10
It will feature 35 major world-class rides,
04:14
with many designed exclusively for Saudi Arabian culture.
04:18
And of course, the flagship will be the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster
04:22
called the Falcon's Flight.
04:25
As of the time of making this video,
04:26
most of the rides and roller coaster tracks have been installed.
04:30
The massive steel structure will be the world's tallest freestanding coaster structure
04:34
at a whopping 160 meters.
04:38
The length of this coaster is quite insane
04:40
and stands at a little over 4 kilometers.
04:44
Even the speed is a little too crazy
04:46
since it can reach speeds over 250 kilometers per hour
04:49
and utilize LSM launch technology.
04:52
If you have a weak stomach and prefer to stay on the ground,
04:55
then you can simply go to the nearby $750 million Kidia Water Park,
05:01
which spans more than 62 acres
05:03
and features 23 major truly unique rides.
05:07
Seven of the rides will be world premieres,
05:09
and it will be the world's only water theme park,
05:12
with a unique mix of dry and wet attractions
05:15
and national competition-level centers for water sports enthusiasts.
05:19
This amazing water park is being built by
05:22
Alec Saudi Arabia Engineering and Contracting
05:25
and El Seif Engineering Contracting.
05:27
And just like the theme park,
05:29
it is expected to be fully operational sometime in 2024.
05:34
It will boast nine designated themed areas,
05:37
Entry Gate, Camel Rock, Dub Grotto, Wave Wadi,
05:41
The Den, Viper Canyon, Arabian Peak,
05:44
The Herding Grounds, and Surf Lagoon.
05:47
And of course, it will reflect the rich local culture.
05:50
In addition to rides and attractions,
05:52
the park will also contribute to sustainability,
05:55
using advanced environmental systems
05:57
to significantly reduce water consumption,
05:59
compared to other water parks.
06:01
Kidia will include numerous other massive and unique attractions
06:05
that include hundreds of venues and major facilities
06:09
designed to keep seekers of a life full of thrills,
06:13
sports, adrenaline rush, education, art,
06:16
and innovation busy and satisfied without end.
06:20
It will include the iconic Jack Nicklaus Championship golf course,
06:24
which will be surrounded by the beautiful grandeur
06:26
of the Kidia countryside and the majestic Tuwake Mountain.
06:30
A huge 20,000-seat stadium and 18,000-seat gaming arena
06:35
are also under construction.
06:37
Not to mention the Speed Park,
06:38
which is based on the architectural idea of the slipstream,
06:42
which creates a dynamic shape,
06:43
and a unique visual image,
06:46
while enhancing the sound experience of the race cars.
06:49
This Speed Park features a racetrack
06:51
with FIA Grade 1 certification,
06:54
catering to motorsports enthusiasts
06:55
and individuals who crave excitement.
06:58
It offers an electrifying experience
07:00
where visitors can engage in karting,
07:02
passenger rides,
07:03
driving experiences,
07:05
and various other thrilling pursuits.
07:08
This hyper-fast circuit
07:09
with an astonishing 34 corners
07:11
is designed by ex-F1 driver Alexander Wurz.
07:16
With a length of 7 kilometers
07:17
and a figure-8 shape,
07:19
the circuit is located between mountains,
07:22
which offers elevation changes.
07:24
With constant steering and small straights,
07:26
drivers simply cannot rest a little bit,
07:28
which offers a huge challenge.
07:31
Not far from there,
07:32
the Performing Arts Center,
07:33
which represents the Saudi Kingdom's
07:35
first multi-use premium theater,
07:38
will host a variety of activities,
07:40
ranging from performing arts and education programs
07:42
to vocational education and regular artist programs.
07:46
And of course,
07:47
there are impressive festival grounds
07:49
for concerts, shows,
07:51
and festivals for performing domestic
07:53
and international musicians
07:54
to showcase original music.
07:56
Would you leave everything
07:57
and move to the new Chidia Entertainment City
08:00
to live, work, or study there?
08:03
