FALCON’S FLIGHT Reveal + Details! Six Flags' Record-SHATTERING Roller Coaster.

Falcons Flight Train Reveal, the record breaking coaster, Longest, Tallest, Fastest. Intamin World's Fastest Roller Coaster, Qiddiya Six Flags. Travelling at over 150 mph, 250kmph. The impossible is slowly becoming a reality as the train is revealed for the roller coaster that seems like it would never happen. Falcons Flight Exa coaster (over 600 ft) is a record-shattering roller coaster that will tower over the entire Six Flags Qiddiya Park. The track started to get installed in April of 2023. The park is planned to be opened for 2025. The ride will be the highlight attraction, due to open in Saudi Arabia outside of capital Riyadh. The 600-foot coaster is known as an EXA Coaster.
"The ride will be the world's fastest, tallest, and longest roller coaster, as well as be the first roller coaster to go over 500 feet. Portions of the coaster will also go over the planned Qiddiya circuit, which is scheduled to host the Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix from the 2024 season onward."
Falcon’s Flight is being designed and manufactured by Intamin. Headquartered in Liechtenstein. The company currently holds the record for the tallest coaster in the World, the fastest coaster in the World, but does not hold longest coaster in the World at the moment, that title going to Steel Dragon 2000, a D. H. Morgan coaster at Nagashima Spa Land Japan.

Are you sure the trains are good with those big ass windshields? I think not

I feel like this thing will be beyond words for the first few months of smooth operations. Then after that it will become more problematic than son of beast.

[@thrillwarrior]

they prolly woulda convinced Cedar Point to go 500ft

@@thrillwarrior no they wouldn’t have as that would be yet again getting really experimental once more, the whole reason for too thrill 2 is to make it more reliable. Who knows what adding nearly 100 more feet of height would do.

[@audio5552]

@@ethanlamb20059 you know Saudi funded it right? It’s not all about Americans. Any park in America could’ve had something like this and didn’t want to pay for it. Yeah it’s far. Got to learn how to save money if you want to do cool things. Can’t get mad at a company for wanting to make money. Saudi has been making huge strides to be a destination. This is apart of it. Good for them. One of the few countries in the Middle East building infrastructure instead of bombs. Beautiful thing for the people over there.

Michelin Star rating system for restaurants and what they mean. One star: A very good restaurant in its category. Two stars: Excellent cooking, worth a detour. Three stars: Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey. Falcon's Flight will be a 3 Star Michelin rollercoaster, something that will more than likely be worthy of experiencing in one's lifetime.

[@sumerandaccad]

I hope they have a good plan for getting people off in case of a breakdown in what looks like very difficult places

[@themightyimp08]

Based on the size of the wheels going on Top thrill (dragster) 2, and the fact that TT2 will go a lot slower than this, and only 2/3rds of the drop.. I can't help but feeling that the wheels on falcon's flight aren't big enough to keep the bearings cool enough. I predict problems for this. Maybe the fact it has 6 trains will help cool them down between rides.. who knows

[@billchief397]

Yeah.... all the reviews regarding the expo on their train have been quiet or hesitant as of Still unsure of this project. Time will tell

[@jacobplatt3066]

My only gripe is that this next gen carriage uses carbon fibre harnesses going into an aluminium housing as it goes into mechanism at the back of the seat. It must be glued into that aluminium housing as I cannot see bolts 😮

There's swivel adjustments on the wheel to track and the buffer springs are replaced with square rubber blocks , power pickups are positioned right under the junction box in car 1 like maybe an inch. I also saw of what I think was aluminum to stainless bolting .. should be interesting

The trains and the coaster looks absolutely amazing, bit i really am not a fan of tje windshield, because its so tall i assume itll take awqy the feeling of wind and speed, at that point, id rather wear goggles. That being said, i think it looks very good and im surprised its gettinf built. In tje beginning, i was a doubter, but i guess i was wrong. It a shame I'll probably never get on it...

500 - 599 is called "yesterdays news" 😆

the only thing i'm concerned about the train is the windshield i don't really know if the taller guests will be able to be under the windshield or not (by that i mean basically not have their head above the windshield when sitting) but if they (taller guests) can be under the windshield that would be a win for intamin
