Riyadh Season: World’s longest roller coaster launches

Sky Loop reaches a maximum height of 52 metres

Ready for a new ride? Riyadh Season zone Winter Wonderland just launched the world’s longest roller coaster, Sky Loop.

The record-breaking Riyadh roller coaster reaches a maximum height of 52 metres and a speed of 110 kilometres per hour. The track consists of crazy twists and turns called “Cobra Roll” and are named because they promise to keep you on the edge of your seat as you speed across a spiral track then plummet on a super-fast and sharp drop.

Warning: This ride is not for the faint-hearted. The controllers advise you only to step onto the roller coaster if you’re on an empty stomach. Once you’re on, you’ll be given a pair of protective glasses and then whoosh, you’re off.

Winter Wonderland is a cool Riyadh Season zone making a comeback after two years. Coming all the way from the United Kingdom, it is an amusement park meets festive experience that is bringing some chills to the desert.

If you think bigger rides are better, Winter Wonderland certainly fits the bill. Winter Wonderland is 40 percent larger than it was in 2019, so it’s safe to say that Riyadh Season’s slogan “imagine more” was not lost on them.

With 52 rides, a total of 103 games spread across the six sub-zones, it aims to entertain all ages. The sub-zones include Snow Forest, Dreamland Carnival, Winter Fair, Tales of Terror, and last but not least, a special “toy box”. Each one has different games, restaurants, cafés and more. Where will you go first?

Until Thu Mar 31. From SAR55. Open daily from 4pm. Winter Wonderland, Al-Ghadeer, tickets.riyadhseason.sa
