Saudi Arabia will soon be home to the world’s first Dragon Ball Park. Originating as a serialized manga in 1984, Dragon Ball has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, spawning numerous adaptations in various media formats and garnering a devoted fan base worldwide. Following the recent passing of its creator, Akira Toriyama, the announcement of this ambitious project has stirred anticipation among millions of anime fans globally.Â
The forthcoming Dragon Ball Park, nestled within the expansive Qiddiya entertainment and tourism development near Riyadh, promises an immersive experience, transporting visitors into the beloved universe of Son Goku and his extraordinary adventures. Set across more than 500,000 square meters, the park will boast seven distinct areas, each meticulously crafted to evoke iconic locales from the original series. With a lineup exceeding 30 attractions, including five cutting-edge rides, visitors can anticipate an adrenaline-pumping journey through the fantastical realms of Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus’s Planet. Complementing the thrilling rides, the park will offer themed accommodations and dining options, ensuring an all-encompassing Dragon Ball experience for guests of all ages.
For Saudi Arabia, this venture represents a significant stride in its quest to diversify its economy and establish itself as a hub for entertainment and leisure. Qiddiya, set to be more than double the size of Florida’s Disney World, epitomizes the kingdom’s ambition to cultivate a vibrant entertainment landscape.
As anticipation mounts for the inauguration of the Dragon Ball theme park, fans eagerly await the opportunity to immerse themselves in the enchanting world brought to life by Toriyama’s visionary imagination.
