Qiddiya Investment Company, Six Flags Entertainment Sign New Management Services Agreement to Operate Two Parks

Qiddya Investment Company today announced that it has signed a comprehensive Management Services Agreement under which Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, North America’s largest regional amusement-resort operator, will serve as the official operator for Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquarabia Water Theme Park.
 Under the agreement, Six Flags will bring its unparalleled management expertise, operational excellence and strategic insight to provide operational support for both parks in Qiddiya City. Upon its planned opening in late 2025, Six Flags Qiddiya City is set to become the thrill-seekers’ ultimate playground, with 28 rides and attractions, including the world’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster, Falcons Flight.
 Adjacent to Six Flags Qiddiya City and also planning to open in late 2025, Aquarabia Water Theme Park will make a splash with 22 state-of-the-art water rides and attractions, including the world’s tallest water coaster and the world’s tallest double-loop water slide. The water park will welcome guests to eight themed areas, including Surftopia, featuring Saudi Arabia’s first surf pool. Together, these attractions will set a new standard for family-friendly entertainment in the region.
 "We are excited to collaborate with Six Flags as we take Qiddiya City to the next level," said Abdullah Al Dawood, Managing Director of Qiddiya Investment Company. "Their expertise will help us create memorable experiences that resonate with residents and visitors while contributing to Saudi Arabia’s cultural and economic growth as part of Vision 2030."
 "This operational agreement represents an important step forward," said Selim Bassoul, Executive Chairman of Six Flags. "We are committed to supporting Qiddiya’s vision by creating high-quality experiences that engage and inspire visitors of all ages."
 Qiddiya City forms an integral part of Saudi Vision 2030, a bold initiative to diversify the economy and establish the Kingdom as a global leader in tourism. The ambitious project represents a multi-billion-dollar investment to drive economic growth, create job opportunities, and attract millions of visitors annually. As a testament to Qiddiya’s commitments, both parks are set to create thousands of jobs, nurturing local talent and enhancing the attractions industry within the Kingdom.
 Under the agreement, Brian Machamer, President of Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquarabia Water Theme Park since 2019, will continue leading the operations of both parks. With Six Flags’ operational expertise and Qiddiya’s visionary leadership, Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquarabia Water Theme Park will serve as benchmarks for a new era in Saudi Arabia’s tourism sector, offering unforgettable experiences that celebrate innovation, culture, and reflecting the transformative potential of the Power of Play.
