The gaming world is about to get a whole lot more Z-powered as France and Saudi Arabia team up to build an epic Dragon Ball Z theme park outside Paris, worth a whopping €6 billion ($7 billion USD)! Announced during the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's recent visit to Paris, this mega project is set to create approximately 22,000 jobs and will be constructed northwest of the capital city near Cergy-Pontoise. The idea for this jaw-dropping venture reportedly took root during the Crown Prince's trip last year when he bonded with French President Emmanuel Macron over their shared love for the iconic anime franchise. Qiddiya, the funding powerhouse behind the project, will also be home to one of two Dragon Ball Z theme parks once construction is complete. The first park, currently underway in Qiddiya City, promises a mind-blowing 30+ attractions, including seven recreations of series locales such as Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus's Planet, as well as five thrilling rides and a colossal 70-meter Shenron statue. With no official opening date announced yet, Dragon Ball fans will have to wait patiently for this gaming extravaganza to unleash its power. This announcement follows the relocation of the Esports World Cup to Paris due to security concerns in Riyadh, where it was initially scheduled to take place. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince attended the competition's closing ceremony, with French President Macron also present. This is just one example of Saudi Arabia's extensive investments in cultural projects within the gaming and anime space, further solidifying its presence in the gaming industry.
