Dragon Ball theme park to be built in Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya City

Qiddiya City is a new city outside of the Saudi capital of Riyadh that will offer entertainment, sports and culture attractions alongside residential communities housing 600,000 people.

The new 500,000 sq m theme park will be based on the well-known Japanese animated series Dragon Ball.

It will be split into seven different areas that recreate locales from the original series including Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus’s Planet.

The theme park will also feature five ‘state-of-the-art’ rides as part of a line-up of 30 attractions.

There will also be a 70m-high dragon, called Shenron, that contains a rollercoaster within it.

The theme park is the latest in a series of major construction projects announced for Qiddiya City. In January, architecture firm Populous revealed designs for an ambitious new stadium there, called Mohammed Bin Salman Stadium, on top of the 200m-high Tuwaiq cliff, that is proposed as one of the venues for the Kingdom’s 2034 World Cup bid.
