France and Saudi Arabia to Build $7 Billion Dragon Ball Z Theme Park Outside Paris
France and Saudi Arabia have come to the mutual conclusion that the world needs Dragon Ball Z theme park. So, they’re building one near Paris to the tune of €6 billion ($7 billion USD).
France and Saudi Arabia are teaming up to build a $7 billion Dragon Ball Z theme park outside Paris. The announcement was made on Monday, August 23 during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Paris. The idea originated during the Crown Prince's trip to Paris last year, when he and French President Emmanuel Macron shared a passion for the anime franchise.
The park will be built northwest of Paris near Cergy-Pontoise, creating around 22,000 jobs and taking several years to complete. Qiddiya is funding the project, which will be one of two Dragon Ball Z theme parks. The first park, currently under construction in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia, will span over 500,000 square meters and feature seven recreated locations from the series, five rides, and a 70-meter-tall Shenron statue. The new park in France will not have an official opening date yet.
