#qiddiya

Yes this is a reference to an older drawing in my 2nd sketchbook (which I HAVE posted before). Except instead of RTH it's Zork this time. (Also there's like 3 sleds in Maximus Blitz Bahn atp which makes waiting times ridiculously long for a shitty bobsled ride. Toverland is planning on closing it and replacing it with something shinier, so I'm excited about that, but also, it's sad for ol Blitz. Bobsled rides are dying like hydraulic launches (ion think Rita has much time left. she's about as old as Ka but she is less of a strain considering she's way smaller so ill give her a few more years) are, flashbacks to Bob at Efteling.)

Toverland reaction image. Slight reference to an inside joke of my ex-friend kinda. Also yes both drawings are coincidentally Toverland attractions oops. Someone take me there already it's been more than a year since I've gone to Toverland sobs

We've got some new details about Falcon's Flight, coming to Six Flags Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia.

Qiddiya City - Six flags 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

فيها 4 ألعاب دخلت موسوعة غينيس

اما تكون اعلى لعبة في العالم او اسرع لعبة او اطول لعبة …

كنت خايفه بس قلت في نفسي ان ما جربت الحين ما راح يمدي اجرب بعدين، رحنا انا وأختي، اضطريت احميها في كثير من الأوقات رغم اني الأخت الصغرى..

كانت تصارخ قبل لا تبدأ اللعبه من الخوف 😟

في كل مره نركب نلعبه وننزل منها ريقنا ناشف كانت تقول: غمضت عيني ما شفت شي 🙂

او تقول: كنت أفكر في بنتي 😩

الألعاب سريعة لدرجة ان موية عيونك تطير !! لدرجة انك تحس ان دمك راح كله لجهه وحده، لو بالغلط فتحت فمك وصارخت راح ينشف ولا راح تقدر تتكلم، إذا كنت تروح تتمرن في النادي احمد ربك على هالنعمة لان راح تهلك عضلاتك من قوة التشبث، مع ذلك كانت رهيبه

I don’t mind going again 🎢🎡🗼

The urban landscape in the Qiddiya project sees the launch of its newest structural asset: the Playmaker Studios complex. This integrated facility serves as an advanced destination supporting cinematic production in Qiddiya and the wider region. This development reflects a shift in construction priorities; the focus now clearly bolsters the creative industries.

The architectural design displays the integration of lightweight structures and administrative offices, focusing on the use of durable concrete in the expansive open areas. A Journey of Light and Sound: Functional Design Details

When a visitor or filmmaker steps onto the complex grounds, they face a meticulously structured space. This area exceeds 2.1 million square meters of planning, dedicated to technical and logistical operations. The design prioritizes operational efficiency over mere display. Engineers planned the internal pathways and service areas to ensure a smooth flow of equipment and crews. This seamless movement runs from loading zones directly into the sound stages. This approach minimizes downtime and enhances the effectiveness of cinematic production in Qiddiya.

The project's current structure relies on two sound stages. Teams purpose built these stages to meet the demands of high-level international productions. These stages form the complex's beating heart. They feature precise acoustic and architectural specifications, with construction focusing on several key aspects:

- Acoustic Isolation: Teams used multiple layers of composite materials. Their goal is to reduce external sound transmission. The materials achieved a reduction rate of over 95%. - Vibration Resistance: Builders placed units on insulating bases. These bases absorb ground vibrations by approximately 80%. This ensures high recording quality. - Clear Height: Designers provided wide internal spaces. These facilitate the installation of complex lighting rigs and sets.

The interior design offers an immense clear span beneath the structural ceiling grids, giving directors infinite flexibility for lighting and complex set construction. Material Harmony with the Desert Environment

When a visitor or filmmaker steps onto the complex grounds, they find themselves facing a meticulously structured space, exceeding 2.1 million square meters of planning dedicated to artistic and logistical operations. The design does not aim for display as much as it aims for operational efficiency; internal paths were designed to ensure a smooth flow of equipment and crews directly from the loading areas to the sound stages, which reduces downtime and increases production effectiveness. The structural framework of the sound stages relies on high density reinforced concrete walls, which constitute 65% of the structures, and feature a thickness of 50 cm. These stages, which represent the heart of the complex, provide a Clear Height reaching 18 meters, which facilitates the installation of lighting platforms and complex sets.

The acoustic performance of the stages relies on Vibration Isolation Bases, which reduce vibration transmission by 80%. Multi-layered Composite Insulation was also applied, achieving a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 65, and an isolation rate of over 95% against external noise. The façades use pre-fabricated insulated panels (constituting 25% of the area) with a U value of 0.3 W/m².K (Watts/m².Kelvin), to enhance energy efficiency.

Cinematic Production in Qiddiya] utilizes the natural terrain as a setting, where the movement of horses and heavy equipment integrates with the harsh desert environment. Expansion Outlook: A Structural Vision for the Future

The project's construction program includes clear expansion plans. Work is currently underway to add two more sound stages. This step aims to double the complex's capacity. This expansion does not limit itself to main structures. It extends to developing specialized facilities. These include post-production, visual effects, and volumetric studios. This paints a picture of a fully integrated facility. It will serve the entire cycle of cinematic production in Qiddiya. This commitment to integrated infrastructure aims to establish the complex as a leading regional hub.

The precise urban planning of the amusement park shows clearly defined movement paths and entertainment zones designed to enhance the overall visitor experience. ✦ An ArchUp Editorial View

Playmaker Studios represents a pivotal point in the Kingdom's strategy, using architectural investment as a tool to build a knowledge economy. This rapid developmental commitment is backed by massive infrastructure to attract global production. The main critique lies in the necessity of disclosing designers to assess the integration of sustainability and contextual design, rather than focusing solely on financial incentives. The positive note is the clarity of the expansion plan through 2026. This project will redefine the architecture of production studios across the Middle East, requiring continuous transparency
