Falcon’s Creative Group has been named master planner, attraction designer and creative guardian of the first-ever Dragon Ball theme park.
Falcon’s Creative Group is a division of Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc.
Unveiled at AnimeJapan on March 22, the Dragon Ball theme park experience will span over 500,000 square meters and will be a key part of the highly anticipated Qiddiya City, the world’s first city built for play near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
As one of Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects, Qiddiya is key to Saudi Vision 2030’s ambitions for a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation. Qiddiya seeks to build destinations, programs and initiatives based on the power of play that will enhance the quality of life of visitors and residents. Qiddiya’s first development will be Qiddiya City, a city wholly dedicated to play and an epicenter of entertainment, sports and culture, welcoming Saudi nationals, residents, and tourists alike.
The park will feature seven different themed lands that recreate various iconic locales from the original series, such as Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus’s Planet.
The Dragon Ball theme park will be developed and built with creative oversight from Falcon’s Creative Group, which has been assigned a critical role in bringing the massive project to life. Park guests will be able to experience the world of Dragon Ball from the first Dragon Ball series to Dragon Ball Super.
Falcon’s Creative Group a leading themed entertainment design and master planning firm which combines compelling design, immersive media, and cutting-edge technology intersect to bring imagination to life. Falcon’s Creative Group is part of Falcon’s Beyond, which launched a successful IPO last year, and which has been growing rapidly through a series of partnerships around the world. FCG currently has planned over $100 billion in themed experiences around the globe.
The project in Saudi Arabia in partnership with Qiddiya Investment Company will certainly be among the largest ever undertaken, not just by Falcon’s Beyond, but by anyone. The Dragon Ball theme park is designed to cover 124 acres of land, which is almost the same size as the Magic Kingdom theme park in Disney World, or about twice the size of the California Adventure park at Disneyland.
“It has been a true source of pride for our company to serve as a lead creative consultant for the Dragon Ball Theme Park,” said Cecil D. Magpuri, CEO of Falcon’s Beyond. “Qiddiya Investment Company, Toei Animation and our team hold a shared vision to reimagine the world of entertainment and delight consumers in new, innovative ways. This theme park will do just that.”
Dragon Ball theme park will feature five state-of-the-art rides as part of a lineup of 30+ attractions set against the backdrop of the Tuwaiq mountains. At the heart of the park is the Eternal Dragon, an extraordinary 70-meter-high rendition of the wish-granting dragon Shenron, that will house the park’s signature roller coaster ride. The park’s themed restaurants and adjacent hotels will allow guests to further immerse themselves in the world of Dragon Ball.
In addition to the Dragon Ball theme park, Falcon’s Creative Group is supporting the creative development of multiple entertainment experiences within Qiddiya City, including master planning of the Qiddiya Water Theme Park, and supporting development for the world’s first Gaming and Esports district, also set to be part of the destination.
