Six Flags to open theme park in Saudi Arabia
A weekend getaway to Saudi Arabia could soon become a norm for Qatar residents after U.S. theme park company Six Flags Entertainment announced its plans to expand to the kingdom.
"We're very honored to be provided with an opportunity to enter into a partnership to bring Six Flags to the kingdom ... Our parks can provide the entertainment to which Saudis aspire," CEO John Duffey said.
Duffey did not elaborate on the terms and conditions of the partnership, according to a Reuters report.
It has been reported that Saudi Arabia's neighbouring cities, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, will also support the developments of the Six Flags theme park.

It is also unclear whether the theme park company will tailor its rides to the social codes of a country where public spaces are gender segregated and patrolled by religious police.
Six Flags operates approximately 20 theme and water parks in North America and signed an agreement with a private Ho Chi Minh City based company in March to open two parks in Vietnam.
Have you been to a Six Flags theme park before?
acchbaccha: As long as the jokes are not racist or insulting ..
Brit: I have large stock of such jokes but I also fear for my life should I print them!
That indeed is true
It's not a joke. Unfortunately idiots like the Rabbi are everywhere trying to control people.
WT.. One of my favourite jokes ..
A modern Orthodox Jewish couple, preparing for a religious wedding
meets with their rabbi for counselling.
The rabbi asks if they have any last questions before they leave.
The man asks, "Rabbi, we realize it's tradition for men to dance with men, and women to dance with women at the reception. But, we'd like your permission to dance together, like the rest of the world."
"Absolutely not," says the rabbi. "It's immodest. Men and women always
dance sepa-rately."
"So after the ceremony I can't even dance with my own wife?"
"No," answered the rabbi. "It's forbidden."
"Well, okay," says the man, "What about sex? Can we finally have sex?"
"Of course!" replies the rabbi. "Sex is a mitzvah a good thing within marriage, to have children!"
"What about different positions?" asks the man
"No problem," says the rabbi "It's a mitzvah!"
"Woman on top?" the man asks.
"Sure," says the rabbi. "Go for it! It's a mitzvah!"
"Doggy style?"
"Sure! Another mitzvah!"
"On the kitchen table?"
"Yes, yes! A mitzvah!"
"Can we do it on rubber sheets with a bottle of hot oil, a leather harness, a bucket of honey ?"
"You may indeed. It's all a mitzvah!"
"Can we do it standing up?"
"No." says the rabbi."
"Why not?" asks the man.
"Could lead to dancing!" Rabbi replied
No!
Niet!
Naheen!
Ingen!
Nee!
Icki!
Hayir!
Will women be allowed to take a ride with unknown males?
