Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

Pokemaniac said:
The UAE is on the coast, with prevailing winds from the sea. Riyadh is smack in the middle of the country, with the closest body of water being the Persian gulf 450 km away.

It does get surprisingly windy in Riyadh, though. Very frequently I'm dealing with sand storms or at least poor air quality due to the dust blowing in.

On a better view from the side, you can see it's not a full dip; it looks like it's designed to nearly flatten out, but always on enough of an incline so there's no valley point there.

Regardless, cannot WAIT to see this crazy bastard start testing.

Ahhhh makes much more sense. Now puts me on team: "Ok, but what if it stalled out right before the cliff drop, and had to roll back through the top cliff spaghetti?" 😅

New photo of the park, what could be at the top of the FF camelback though?? Definitely too early for a train right?

Yeah it's a catwalk. You can see it in a few pictures released from the airtime hill/crane a while ago.

Also, every new picture I see of this just blows my mind. The fact that both Spitfire and Iron Rattler nearby are over 200 feet tall, but look so tiny is actually insane. Spitfire is pretty much the same height as Hyperia, to put the scale into perspective...
 
That from the air photo also gives scale to that ridiculous tower ride? That's a ride, right? It looks like a 20m wide across S&S shot tower.

Anyway I wasn't aware of Spitfire being built, or I'd heard the name but not actually known what it is and I'm curious as to whose bright idea it was to put a coaster style/layout where the only gimmick is the height... IN THE SAME PARK AS FALCON'S FLIGHT.

Spitfire has an inverting top hat. So at 240ft high its gimmick is that it's got the highest inversion of any coaster in the world.

That's so lame lmao, they could've done that with an actual layout instead of making Pantheon but the budget ran out mid project.
