Specs Revealed for World s Tallest, Fastest, Longest Coaster
January 3, 2021, 2:38 AM ·
Planning has begun for what developers are calling the world s fastest, tallest, and longest roller coaster. The Falcon’s Flight is set to anchor the new Six Flags Qiddiya park that is now scheduled to open in 2023. Six Flags and its development partner, Qiddiya Investment Company, first announced the coaster in 2019, but today s announcement provides some specs for the record-setting thrill ride.
The Falcon’s Flight will travel across approximately 4km, feature a vertical cliff dive maneuver into a 160m-deep valley using magnetic motor acceleration (LSM technology), and achieve unprecedented speeds of 250+ km/h, Qiddiya said in its press release. Translating to Imperial units, that means a top speed over 155 mph and a length of approximately 2.5 miles, or more than 13,000 feet. The 160-meter valley would be about 525 feet.
Start a New Tradition with Nissan Snowflake Patterns

It’s Christmas Eve, which means the stores are packed and you probably have little to no chance of getting a few more ornaments to fill out your tree. Nissan Canada is here to the rescue with patterns to make snowflakes based on the all-electric Nissan LEAF and Ariya.
Before you roll your eyes, know that these patterns aren’t outlines of vehicles to throw off your theme. They’re based on the basic brush strokes designers use to start each project. Paper toy maker Tongui helped Nissan make the patterns you see below to make sure both snowflake options complement your tree or other winter decorations.
