May 20, 2025 | Press Release

In a strategic push to tap into one of the world’s most dynamic outbound travel markets, Six Flags and Aquarabia Qiddiya City—two of Saudi Arabia’s most anticipated entertainment destinations—have appointed Think Strawberries as their official representative in India. The announcement marks a significant step in the brands’ efforts to establish a strong presence in India ahead of their grand openings.

Set to become key anchor attractions within Qiddiya City, the entertainment megaproject near Riyadh, both Six Flags Qiddiya City and Aquarabia promise a new frontier in themed entertainment. With the appointment, Think Strawberries will lead all trade, marketing, and public relations initiatives in India, driving awareness and building momentum among Indian travel agents and consumers alike.

World-First Thrills and Record-Breaking Rides

Six Flags Qiddiya City is being billed as a landmark in theme park design, representing the brand’s first-ever park built from the ground up outside North America since 1971. The park will feature 28 attractions across six immersive themed lands and will set five global records, including the Falcons Flight, touted as the world’s tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster. Other thrill highlights include the tallest tilt coaster (Iron Rattler), pendulum ride (Gyrospin), drop tower (Sirocco Tower), and inverted coaster (Spitfire).

Adjacent to the thrill capital is Aquarabia Qiddiya City—the largest water park in the Middle East. Inspired by Saudi Arabia’s diverse wildlife and landscape, Aquarabia will span over 250,000 square metres and offer 22 water-based and dry attractions across eight themed zones. Headline features include Surftopia, the Kingdom’s first surf pool; Amwaj Bay, a family-friendly wave pool; and Aquaticar, the world’s first underwater ride experience.

India: A Strategic Focus for Qiddiya City

India’s fast-growing outbound travel market and expanding middle class make it a prime focus for Qiddiya City’s visitor strategy. As travel trends shift towards experiential and family-focused vacations, both Six Flags and Aquarabia aim to become bucket-list destinations for Indian families seeking world-class leisure and adventure.

“India is a pivotal market for us as we look to broaden our global footprint,” said Brian Machamer, Park President of Six Flags and Aquarabia Qiddiya City. “We believe this partnership will allow us to create tailored offerings that resonate with the diverse preferences of Indian families.”

Driving Trade Engagement in India

Think Strawberries, a leading travel representation company with a proven track record in promoting global tourism boards and attractions in India, will spearhead marketing, trade education, and brand-building efforts. The firm has already laid out strategic initiatives, including immersive B2B promotions and partnerships with top Indian travel trade players.

“We are delighted to come on board,” said Munnmunn Marwah, COO, Think Strawberries. “Our goal is to ensure Indian families are among the first to experience the unmatched thrills of Six Flags and the unique water adventures at Aquarabia. This is a transformational tourism offering for Saudi Arabia, and we’re excited to showcase it.”

As Qiddiya City nears completion, the representation move reinforces Saudi Arabia’s broader tourism ambitions, aligning with Vision 2030 to diversify the Kingdom’s economy through large-scale entertainment and cultural developments. For Indian travel planners and tour operators, the opening of Six Flags and Aquarabia presents a compelling new chapter in Middle East-bound tourism itineraries.
