by Despite the tragic recent passing of creator Akira Toriyama, fans of the Dragon Ball franchise have a lot to look forward to when the series celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2024. Not only is a massive theme park being built but there is also a new Dragon Ball anime in the works.
The most recent exciting announcement is that the first Dragon Ball theme park in history will be constructed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This project is a part of the nation’s “Qiddiya” initiative, which aims to establish Riyadh as a top tourist destination worldwide by 2030.
The announcement video, “World’s Only Dragon Ball Theme Park,” is available for viewing.
More than thirty Dragon Ball-themed attractions will be available at the park, including five ground-breaking rides that will redefine theme park thrills. A massive 70-meter-tall rollercoaster inspired by the mythical dragon Shenron will be the attraction’s focal point.
Immersion in the Dragon Ball world will be complete for visitors, who can stay in hotels with a theme and enjoy food that is inspired by different parts of the Dragon Ball universe. The goal is to provide a comprehensive experience that transports guests to the worlds they’ve adored throughout the series.
The development of the park, which was first conceptualized in 2019 by the Qiddiya Investment Company, is currently underway as a result of a recent viral video announcement dubbed “World’s Only Dragon Ball Theme Park.”
Even though it’s still in the early stages and has only revealed concept art so far, construction is anticipated to move quickly in the upcoming years.
The devoted global fan base of Dragon Ball has already expressed great excitement and expectation for the theme park, even though no official opening date has been announced.
Dragon Ball is preparing to launch a new anime series, “Dragon Ball Daima,” which is scheduled to debut in the fall of 2024, in addition to the theme park. The adored characters will be featured in a unique plot in this new series, which will thrill fans all over the world and broaden the franchise’s appeal.
Fans were greatly devastated by Akira Toriyama’s demise earlier this year, yet his legacy and the beloved brand he built live on. Dragon Ball’s renown isn’t going away, with 40th-anniversary celebrations in progress, a ground-breaking theme park in the works, and a brand-new anime series on the horizon.
