As reported by Oricon News, the Dragon Ball Theme Park will be in collaboration between Toei Animation and Qiddiya, a mega corporation in Saudi Arabia.

About The Dragon Ball Theme Park

Not much else is known about the theme park just yet- it will be in Qiddiya City, though there is no projected due date for the project.

However, at the signing event they unveiled a massive statue of Shenron, the wish-granting dragon which would also double as a roller coaster track.

Similarly, a concept trailer they put out also showed VR experiences such as a virtual Kamehameha attraction as well as a VR rollercoaster.

Saudi Arabia has been taking more interest in Japanese culture over the years- SNK Corporation is one of many studios bought by Saudi companies, while also having been rumored to be behind the horrible financial state of the Embracer Group.
