Falcon’s Flight:

Falcon’s Flight, the very first “Exa Coaster” in the world, is the first rollercoaster that plans to go above  500ft in height including an enormous 640ft drop.

The current rollercoaster to hold the record of the highest rollercoaster in the world is the Kingda Ka, located at a height of 456ft at the Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey.

The attraction in Saudi Arabia will be even taller than the very popular London Eye, which is located at a height of 442ft.

The giant rollercoaster even promises to be the longest rollercoaster ever, with a record distance of 2.64 miles in length.

It will cover a distance of a track of more than 13,000 feet, which will be almost longer than a mile compared to the present world record holder, at Japan’s Nagashima Spa Land, the Steel Dragon 2000.

Falcon’s Flight, running over a Formula 1 race track also beat the current record holder in terms of speed. At the current time,  Formula Rossa at the  Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is the record-holding rollercoaster which is also the the fastest rollercoaster in the world, with a maximum speed of around 240 kmph requiring all the riders to wear safety goggles during the ride.

The rollercoaster, Falcon’s Flight will have a seating capacity of 14 people. The very front car will take two riders and four in each of the three cars remaining. Each row will be facilitated by providing its windshield, which will let the riders enjoy the ride without the need to wear any goggles.
