The world's first theme park dedicated to the Dragon Ball universe of comics, movies, and games will be built in Saudi Arabia, allowing visitors to live out the adventures of Goku and his friends.
The Qiddiya Investment Company behind the project shared details about what to expect from the development. The park will span 500,000 square meters and feature seven themed lands based on different Dragon Balls. There will be more than 30 themed rides across the lands, plus five major attractions, hotels and restaurants.
Concept art, below, gives prospective visitors a teaser of the park plans. The images reveal several iconic landmarks from the Dragon Ball sagas, including Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus' Planet. The artwork also features an unmissable 70-meter-high Shenron rollercoaster.
News of the theme park comes in the same year that the original Dragon Ball manga will celebrate its 40th anniversary and just a few weeks after the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, which prompted fans and industry peers across the globe to come together to remember the life and work of the legendary artist.
Between the original franchise, the more popular "Z" series, the divisive GT and the highly successful Super, Toriyama's Dragon Ball has transcended its manga beginnings to become a pop-culture phenomenon. The newly announced theme park will allow fans to immerse themselves in the world of Dragon Ball in real life.
The company behind the theme park has not disclosed an opening date yet, but construction on the colossal project is expected to commence soon.
