Six Flags Qiddiya (Saudi Arabia) Discussion Thread

[Blake Hooton]

That means we're nearly 1 month to the opening for Six Flags to finally bring its theme park to the Middle East after nearly 20 years in the making (include two failed Dubai projects and a failed Qatar project).

You wanna go hang out in a sun-drenched desert valley all day where the temps reach 120+ on the regular?  No sir. I spent nearly a decade in Vegas.  Desert life is an indoor and nighttime life.

4pm seems a bit odd right now when highs for the day are 70s and 80s.

Most likely the reason why: due to the kingdom's scorching heat.

There were a lot of places in Vietnam that ran only in evenings/late afternoons because of heat and humidity. All the outdoor markets usualy were only fully open at night.

Celsius 70-80  is Fahrenheit  158-176.  Some facts: The highest recorded air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), measured on July 10, 1913, in Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California.

No. It's not Celsius. He was probably quoting the LOW temps at night.
 

[tndank]

No, the high for the day is 70-80. Lows in the 50s and 60s.

Would you look at that the high today is 74 but the air quality is very unhealthy. Not sure what that means in terms of being out side.  

The weather seems made ups looks like Ohio weather in early summer later spring.

Says average afternoon temps for this time of year are in the 70's. Although heat will play into it in the warm months, I'm sure, I wonder if this is just a business decision. Like Garet said, it's not unusual in other countries. I remember seeing weird hours on a lot of TPR reviews... when people used to be active here.
