Vekoma Unveils Testing Footage of Iron Rattler Tilt Coaster at Six Flags Qiddiya City
Thursday 1 May 2025 News

Vekoma, one of the world's leading roller coaster manufacturers, has shared the first official testing footage of its much-anticipated Tilt Coaster, Iron Rattler, currently under development at Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia.
The video, posted across Vekoma’s social media channels, offers a look at the ride’s signature tilt-track mechanism in action. The Iron Rattler is one of only a handful of tilt coasters in the world. Riders are expected to ascend a vertical lift before the track tilts forward—suspending the train momentarily—before releasing into a high-speed plunge.
This testing phase marks a major milestone for both Vekoma and the upcoming Six Flags Qiddiya City park. The Iron Rattler is set to be one of the park's flagship attractions, delivering a unique blend of suspense and adrenaline that sets it apart even among Six Flags' globally renowned thrill rides.
Although an official opening date for Six Flags Qiddiya City has not been confirmed, industry insiders and local reports suggest the park is aiming for a late 2025 launch. Once complete, the park is expected to become a cornerstone of Qiddiya's broader entertainment and tourism development, which includes a mix of theme parks, sports venues, and cultural attractions.
