What to remember

In Qiddiya City, in Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Province, Falcons Flight opened at Six Flags Qiddiya City on December 31, 2025: a steel coaster 4,250.1 m long. That day Steel Dragon 2000 lost its title as the world's longest roller coaster.

Built by Intamin, the launched coaster opened with a full set of superlatives: tallest, fastest and longest in the world, surpassing Top Thrill 2, Formula Rossa and Steel Dragon 2000 respectively. It stands 163 m (535 ft) high with an elevation change of 195 m (640 ft), and it opened as the world's first exa coaster.

Parks have long competed on height, speed, length and number of inversions to draw thrill seekers. Falcons Flight took three of those crowns at once.
