France and Saudi Arabia have come to the mutual conclusion that the world needs Dragon Ball Z theme park. So, they’re building one near Paris to the tune of €6 billion ($7 billion USD).
The Elysee Palace announced the news on Monday, August 23, during the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Paris. The idea was reportedly first sparked during the Crown Prince’s trip to the city last year, when he and French President Emmanuel Macron discovered their shared love for the iconic anime franchise.
The park will be constructed northwest of the capital city near Cergy-Pontoise, with the massive project expected to create approximately 22,000 jobs. Construction is predicted to take several years, with no opening date publicly announced as yet.
To no one’s surprise, Qiddiya is providing the funds for the project, which will be one of two Dragon Ball Z theme parks once all is said and done. The first theme park was officially revealed on the official Dragon Ball website back in 2024, along with extensive concept art and teasers for what it’ll look like when construction is complete.
The first park is currently being built in Qiddiya City, a massive entertainment hub currently in development just outside the capital of Riyadh. It will reportedly span more than 500,000 square meters, featuring seven recreations of locales from the series including the Kame House, Capsule Corporation, and Beerus's Planet.
Five rides will also be included as part of a 30+ attraction total, along with a 70-meter-tall statue of Shenron.
