Mr. Beast plans to open a pop-up theme park in the Middle East where fans of the world’s most popular YouTuber can race on roller coasters, hop on thrill rides and play over-the-top games inspired by his social media videos.
Beast Land will run for a limited time on Thursday, Nov. 13 through Dec. 27 as part of the Riyadh Season entertainment and cultural festival in Saudi Arabia.
“I didn’t want this to be like a typical theme park,” Mr. Beast wrote on Twitter. “We built custom games modelled after our videos that don’t exist anywhere else.”

Jimmy Donaldson, the 27-year-old social media star known as Mr. Beast, has gained 450 million subscribers on YouTube who tune in to watch game show-like competitions and controversial stunts with eye-popping prizes.
The Mr. Beast indoor theme park will be divided into two zones: Beast Land and Beast Arena.
The Beast Land fun zone will feature theme park rides, midway games, merchandise and food with no competitive components.
The Beast Arena competition zone will feature timed challenges, daily prizes and a grand finale. Pre-registration is required to compete in the Beast Arena games.
The Beast Land rides will include two roller coasters, a 165-foot-tall bungee jump and thrill rides with names like Endeavour, Energize, Sling Shot, Top Spin and Phantom XXL, according to The Sun.
The Beast Arena games will include Tower Siege, Drop Zone, Dungeon Escape, Air Mail, Battle Bridge, Beast Summit, Lights Out, Revolution and Warrior Challenge.
Gamers will launch balls with catapults at tubes in Tower Siege. Six contestants will stand atop trap doors with the last person to push their button falling in the Drop Zone. Players race through a maze to earn points in Dungeon Escape. Zip liners must drop a weighted bag on a target below in Air Mail.
Mr. Beast has long been a big fan of theme parks.
Videos on Mr. Beast’s YouTube channel have featured Donaldson renting out Disneyland for $500,000, a $20,000 challenge to ride a single roller coaster over 100 times and a challenge to win every midway game prize at Six Flags Over Texas.
The Riyadh Season festival in Saudi Arabia has featured major theme park-style installations in recent years.
Riyadh Season 2023 hosted a Disney pop-up theme park that featured a 98-foot-tall castle and Aladdin, Lion King, Frozen and Encanto attractions.
Riyadh Season 2024 featured a Harry Potter pop-up experience with recreations of Hogwarts Castle, Three Broomsticks Food Hall, Quidditch Pitch, Ollivander’s Wand Shop and Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions.
Tickets for the Beast Land pop-up theme park during Riyadh Season 2025 will start at $7 for general admission without access to any of the rides, games or experiences. A $25 mid-tier ticket will include limited access to the challenges, games and three rides. A Beast Mode premium pass good for unlimited access will cost $66.
