Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya Investment Company will construct the world’s first “Dragon Ball” theme park, the franchise owner announced on Friday.

The park will be over 500,000 square meters and will feature seven areas that recreate various iconic sites from the original series, including Kame House, Capsule Corporation and Beerus’ Planet, according to reports.

Visitors will be able to join an adventure with Goku from the beginning of the anime all the way to “Dragon Ball Super.”

“I was deeply impressed by the vision of bringing the people of Saudi Arabia cutting-edge, challenging entertainment that is completely different from anything they have experienced before,” Toei Animation President TAKAGI Katsuhiro said.

There will be five state-of-the-art rides among more than 30 attractions. 

There will also be a 70-meter-high statue of Shenron, the magical dragon from the series, containing a large rollercoaster ride.

In addition, the park will have several hotels and restaurants.

Qiddiya posted a video on the company’s YouTube channel on Wednesday showing a rendition of the park.

The announcement comes after Akira Toriyama, creator of the “Dragon Ball” series, passed away on March 1 at age 68, leaving thousands around the world mourning his loss.
