In an announcement that has Dragon Ball Z enthusiasts freaking out, plans have been unveiled for a colossal Dragon Ball Z-themed theme park in Saudi Arabia.
Spanning an expansive 5.3 million square feet, this entertainment destination is slated to become a centerpiece of the Qiddiya Project, a burgeoning district dedicated to sports and entertainment.
Set against the backdrop of Riyadh, the capital city, this monumental endeavor promises an immersive experience like no other. With 7 distinct areas, or “lands,” meticulously crafted to mirror iconic locations from the beloved Japanese anime.
But wait, there’s more! It has been announced the Park will have 30 rides! Among the highlights is the Shenron, a towering 230-foot high roller coaster paying homage to the series’ mystical dragon.
Located 40 minutes outside Riyadh, the Dragon Ball Z theme park forms just a fraction of the grand vision for the Qiddiya Project.
Encompassing a staggering 140 square miles, this sprawling expanse will not only host the Dragon Ball Z attraction but also boast a new Six Flags location and a thrilling water park.
Additionally, plans are underway for the development of golf courses and resorts, promising a multifaceted recreational paradise.
As we reflect on the significance of this announcement, set against the backdrop of the 40th anniversary of the original Dragon Ball manga, the timing of this is noteworthy as we remember the recent passing of the visionary behind the Dragon Ball universe, Akira Toriyama.
In honoring his legacy, the Dragon Ball Z theme park will stand as a testament to his enduring impact on popular culture.
For Dragon Ball fans, this is the biggest announcement to come in years. Stay tuned for further updates as this extraordinary project takes shape.
XOXO,
Julia
