The official sources of the Dragon Ball franchise announced on Friday that Saudi Arabia-based Qiddiya Investment Company will construct the world's only ever Dragon Ball Theme Park as part of its "Qiddiya" giga project.

This was unveiled with an announcement video uploaded on Qiddiya's official YouTube channel. The video previewed everything that fans could witness at the theme park.

The theme park will boast a whopping size of over 500,000 square meters and is set to feature seven different areas. Each of the areas is set to recreate a different iconic locale from the original series.

Some of the iconic locales that are planned to be part of the theme park are the Kame House, Capsule Corporation, Beerus' Planet, World Martial Arts Tournament Arena, Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, Korin Tower, The Lookout, etc.

The Dragon Ball Theme Park will also allow its visitors to join on an adventure with Goku and his friends as they enjoy the world of Dragon Ball from the beginning of the series all the way up through Dragon Ball Super.

Additionally, the theme park is set to feature five state-of-the-art rides as part of its lineup with over 30 attractions. One such attraction will be the 70-meter-high Shenron. The same landmark is also set to feature a large-scale roller coaster inside, possibly to help fans get a closer look at the wish-granting dragon.

Lastly, the Dragon Ball Theme Park will also be equipped with fully stocked hotels and restaurants. This should help fans immerse themselves in the world of Dragon Ball for an entire day of fun.
