In the wake of Akira Toriyama’s tragic passing, it appears that everyone is talking about Dragon Ball and Toriyama’s other works. However, the franchise seems to be getting even more attention by getting a theme park in Saudi Arabia! Dragon Ball’s first-ever theme park is being built in Saudi Arabia with help from the Quiddiya Investment Company.

The official Dragon Ball website released this statement regarding the new park:

"The Saudi Arabia-based Qiddiya Investment Company has announced that it will be constructing the World’s only ever Dragon Ball theme park as part of its ‘Qiddiya’ giga project The Dragon Ball theme park will boast a whopping size of over 500,000 square meters and feature seven different areas that recreate various iconic locales from the original series, such as Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus's Planet.
