Saudi Arabia: MrBeast just built a real-life YouTube theme park in Riyadh — And it's totally wild

Forget watching the world’s biggest challenges on a small screen, you can finally live them. YouTube legend Jimmy " MrBeast " Donaldson has cashed in his virtual chips to build a sprawling, physical theme park, Beast Land, opening in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia. This isn't your grandma's theme park; it's a massive, neon-drenched playground where you can tackle custom-built, adrenaline-pumping games straight out of his viral videos.

YouTube star goes theme park mogul
The world’s most-subscribed YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson , a.k.a. MrBeast, is officially stepping out of the digital screen and into the real world with the grand opening of his very own theme park, Beast Land.

This massive, 200,000-square-meter entertainment zone is set to open on November 13, 2025, right in the heart of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Beast Land is the headline attraction for the globally renowned Riyadh Season 2025 festival, making the Saudi capital a must-visit destination.

This isn't a typical park filled with generic rides; it's designed to be the complete "Beast experience." MrBeast himself revealed his goal was to create something new, thinking “from first principles” to build a park full of custom games he would love to play. The entire area is a neon-lit, high-tech spectacle modeled after the famous challenge sets from his viral YouTube videos.

Where the challenges are real
Forget passively standing in line—Beast Land is all about action and winning. The park is an interactive, competition-based playground featuring over 27 unique rides and 12 immersive experiences.

The centerpiece is the Beast Arena , the ultimate competition zone. This area is dedicated to timed, high-stakes games where players can earn points, snag daily prizes, and compete for a spot in a massive Grand Finale. You can buy "Beast Mode" or "Junior Beast" tickets to participate in these thrilling challenges.

Here’s a sneak peek at the wildly original attractions:

• Tower Siege: You'll load balls into real-life catapults and try to land them in giant, 60-foot vertical tubes to score points.
  
• Drop Zone: A true test of nerves and reaction time. Six participants stand on trap doors, and the last person to press a button avoids being dropped into the pit below.
  
• Airmail: Zip-line lovers, this is for you. You'll race along a line and must drop a weighted bag onto a target far below for maximum points.
  
• Dungeon Escape: A thrilling race where players must navigate a complex maze to beat their competitors and score big.

Tickets, location, and when to go
To join the fun and enter MrBeast’s kingdom, you’ll need to know the basic coordinates for this epic, limited-time event. Beast Land is designed to run for just over a month as a featured zone in Riyadh Season, offering different levels of access depending on how much you want to compete. Location and dates:

• Event: Featured Zone of the Riyadh Season 2025 festival.

Prizes, snacks, and the vision
While the focus is on his signature challenges, Beast Land delivers a full park experience. Guests can expect a mix of traditional rollercoasters and standard rides alongside the custom-built games.

And what's a MrBeast event without an absurd amount of rewards? The park will feature what he claims will be the "world's largest prize wall," living up to his reputation for handing out epic rewards.

Visitors can also indulge in the official merchandise and food offerings at the 40+ shops and restaurants on site. Crucially, the partnership with Riyadh Season includes the launch of MrBeast's viral snack brand, Feastables , into the Saudi Arabian market.

The collaboration with the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) and the sheer scale of Beast Land, a sprawling 200,000 square meters in the Hittin district near the Boulevard underscores the project's ambition. This launch isn't just entertainment; it's a key part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to transform the Kingdom into a global tourism and leisure hub.

Pro Tip: If you want to dive into this new world, you must pre-register through the official Beast Land microsite to secure your entry. And yes, MrBeast himself is expected to attend the grand opening festivities.
