Saudi Arabia is planning on building the world's fastest roller coaster in its first theme park.
Six Flags Qiddiya, due for completion in 2023, is being built outside Riyadh as a part of a new city.
Qiddiya Investment Company, the developer of the project, unveiled the park design on Monday.
"The Falcon’s Flight, inspired by the kingdom’s iconic raptor, will be the longest, tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, while the Sirocco Tower will break more records with the world’s tallest drop-tower ride," the company said.
