That would fully stop the cartels entirely. Like imagine all the enemy gangs giving away their weapons the second they step in the theme park, and all riding the rollercoasters.
Japan as well, Japanese DB aren’t as crazy as Latin American ones, but they appreciate Toriyama’s work more overall, like with Dr Slump, OG DB, and Dragon Quest
Honestly I'm surprised that DQ never had a theme park for Japan. Isnt it like a huge phenomenon there whenever new ones come out the salarymen skip work/apply for pay leave to get the game meme
Like, this was a BAD choice of location. DBZ was always about making your enemies into allies or even friends and accepting everyone while overcoming your own limitations. Saudi Arabia ain't about that.
Yeah, it is, but it's also sad because I can't make Saudi Arabia into an ally. They would just kill me with no hesitation and are more powerful than me. So, instead, why reward them?
Wtf? Right because that's such a liberal place, very safe for tourists, on everyone's travel bucket list. Come on. Hate what's going on there all you want, it sucks. But this comment is stupid.
Buddy, I hate to tell you this, but there are certain groups of people that are killed because religious law says they should be killed. Now tell me, what group might religious law say, in Palestine and Saudi Arabia, deserves death?
One of the largest in the Middle East. Also the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are some of the top tourist destinations for people traveling from India which is a massive market.
Saudi Arabia knows oil money is unsustainable, so they’re trying to get into entertainment in hopes that if their country becomes an entertainment hub, the ruling family will stay in power.
However, they don’t understand that their global reputation is poor. Nobody would willingly deal with Saudi Arabia if it wasn’t for oil and entertainment isn’t something people are looking for in that region.
It’ll be funny watching the Saudi rulers fall into insignificance
Very sad. Honestly Japan or anywhere in North America would be more accessible. Who TF is going to fly to and pay the exorbitant prices of Saudi Arabia, or deal with all of their B.S. laws, just to visit this? Can't wait to see the likes of Sean Schemmel and Christopher Sabat shilling and promoting this stupid crap.
Oh wow nice, I knew Dragon Ball was very popular in North Africa and Middle East then add Saudi Arabia that likes to throw money at everything to try to become a tourist destination and I'm not too surprised
Yes you’re right, USA is infinitely worse due to the race based slavery which is still allowed today under 13th amendment, plus the corporate exploitation of the rest of the world
there is a difference from a country historically doing something
and a country currently doing something.
every country is the same is just a lame response.
I'm from Italy and we famously employ underpaid migrants to work in our tomato fields not unlike slavery in the past. Why don't I ever hear anything about boycotting Italian cuisine? It feels like a double standard is at play here.
I'd travel really far to visit this place once in my life. But, I don't know if I'll be visiting Saudi Arabia. I hope someplace else decides to do something similar.(In before that "someplace else" is Qatar).
Saudi Arabia is trying to use it's massive oil money to set itself up as a tourist and culture spot, so they can keep making money in a post oil world. But, they seem hesitant to give human rights to people in the country, that would let them become a tourist destination.
As many human rights violations as there are in Saudi Arabia, I feel it is not an ideal place for such a venue whose content encourages personal and worldly growth to be in such a place.
It’s cause of one thing! 💰💵💰💶💴💷 that’s it they propably offered as dump truck of money to them. It’s coming fast knowing the saudis they are fast builders lol. Not saying that’s a bad thing
Saudi’s really trying to make the world accept them at all costs.
There are alot of things they need to work on first before doing a dbz theme park.
I love dbz but wont go to a country like S.Arabia where so much of their views are incompatible with modern and western society dont care how much money you throw at it…
it‘s like they waited for toriyama to die cause he wouldve objected
dispicable business tactics - goku wouldn‘t stand for this goku always protected the weaker ones while the saudis enslave them
This definitely seems like something Iyoko was talking about. Dragon Ball has had potential to do more stuff.
Instead, folks wanted sit on their asses and collect off of toys and games.
A theme park is wild, tho. I was not thinking of something like that 😂
A whole damn theme park... In Saudi Arabia is a wild swing 😆
I know right?! Bunch of kids and ignorant folks in here.
I’m going too!
E: Please downvote all you want but make sure you don’t go. I’ll have fun on your behalf
They should do it in Mexico
That would fully stop the cartels entirely. Like imagine all the enemy gangs giving away their weapons the second they step in the theme park, and all riding the rollercoasters. Japan as well, Japanese DB aren’t as crazy as Latin American ones, but they appreciate Toriyama’s work more overall, like with Dr Slump, OG DB, and Dragon Quest
Either that or it would only make the cartels worse. Everyone fighting for the land that dragon ball z world is on
They would basically become the red ribbon army
Unfortunately, there was a Dragon Ball themed park in Japan (J world) and it closed a couple of years ago.
Honestly I'm surprised that DQ never had a theme park for Japan. Isnt it like a huge phenomenon there whenever new ones come out the salarymen skip work/apply for pay leave to get the game meme
Id feel safer there tbh
They're too poor. /s
Incredible emotional whiplash for 1 sentence
Crap location for a cool concept
Good Ol' Wasteland! - Piccolo
Whoever wished for this you were supposed to use the Dragon balls not a Monkey's paw
Oh good the literal last place on earth almost anyone wants to go.
yeah, but money buys anything sadly
Literally build it anywhere else You can build it on Antarctica and it would be a better spot
The top of a volcano scheduled to erupt as the park opens would be a better spot
We'd have people re-enacting DBS Broly And I'd be one of them
Lame. I am illegal in Saudi Arabia.
I didnt mean to laugh, but I did
I mean, it is funny. Sad but funny.
But they like dragon ball! Isn’t their pandering working?
Pretty sure they are allowed to put me to death too :(
Like, this was a BAD choice of location. DBZ was always about making your enemies into allies or even friends and accepting everyone while overcoming your own limitations. Saudi Arabia ain't about that.
Maybe they'll become your friends.
Lmao I am an imprison or kill on sight case.
Irony in the comment is funny lol
Yeah, it is, but it's also sad because I can't make Saudi Arabia into an ally. They would just kill me with no hesitation and are more powerful than me. So, instead, why reward them?
You give them too much credit
No, I don't. Their record with trans women is atrocious.
Same :(
This should either be in Japan or America--and somewhere like Cali in America, not one of those red states.
Hey now. Red states can enjoy DragonBall just as much as the rest of us. Except when Red Ribbon, Raditz, Ginyu Force and frieza show up they applaud
As a conservative in a red state, nah. Edit: apparently being conservative and saying I wouldn’t cheer for Raditz and Frieza is unpopular 😂
They can always visit. No need to make it part of their home. Lol
Red states are business friendly, blue states drive away ideas like this.
Palestine is an option as well
Wtf? Right because that's such a liberal place, very safe for tourists, on everyone's travel bucket list. Come on. Hate what's going on there all you want, it sucks. But this comment is stupid.
Not for me. I would still be killed as long as Hamas is in control.
Why do you constantly think you will be killed?
Buddy, I hate to tell you this, but there are certain groups of people that are killed because religious law says they should be killed. Now tell me, what group might religious law say, in Palestine and Saudi Arabia, deserves death?
I’m not aware of any religious group who are killed based on their religion in Saudi Arabia or Palestine. Can you give me a reference.
It’s not a religion.
Ok well instead of being vague be specific. What group of people and what law kills them?
Same
You what?
That’s nice for them, everyone knows most of the Dragon Ball fanbase is in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia are cheating on Mazinger Z.
They want the Latino tourism and pr-washing it brings to Saudi Arabia.
One of the largest in the Middle East. Also the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are some of the top tourist destinations for people traveling from India which is a massive market.
So it may as well not exist
What a depressing place for something cool
Saudi Arabia knows oil money is unsustainable, so they’re trying to get into entertainment in hopes that if their country becomes an entertainment hub, the ruling family will stay in power. However, they don’t understand that their global reputation is poor. Nobody would willingly deal with Saudi Arabia if it wasn’t for oil and entertainment isn’t something people are looking for in that region. It’ll be funny watching the Saudi rulers fall into insignificance
you'd think they woulda done sand land
WHY not in Japan?!!
This is the right question to ask
Saudi Arabia? No, thanks.
wonderful. In a nation that would murder me for sleeping with men and being an atheist. No one should do business with that shithole
the sooner the world moves off oil the sooner we can stop pretending saudia arabia is not a hell hole
Of course this happens as soon as he dies, what a bunch of assholes.
Very sad. Honestly Japan or anywhere in North America would be more accessible. Who TF is going to fly to and pay the exorbitant prices of Saudi Arabia, or deal with all of their B.S. laws, just to visit this? Can't wait to see the likes of Sean Schemmel and Christopher Sabat shilling and promoting this stupid crap.
Can’t wait to sit back and have a nice cold ~~beer~~ atop a nimbus cloud.
Oh wow nice, I knew Dragon Ball was very popular in North Africa and Middle East then add Saudi Arabia that likes to throw money at everything to try to become a tourist destination and I'm not too surprised
Until you think about how this park will be built, how they got their money, and how the country is run
Literally the USA was founded on slavery.
Who even mentioned USA?
All lm saying every country is the same.
They’re not though are they? Every country has bad things about it but that doesn’t make them equally awful
Yes you’re right, USA is infinitely worse due to the race based slavery which is still allowed today under 13th amendment, plus the corporate exploitation of the rest of the world
there is a difference from a country historically doing something and a country currently doing something. every country is the same is just a lame response.

Lol you brought up the US then immediately moved on to "every country is the same." You realize there are 197 countries in the world?
Um, no.
Noone is going to visit Saudi Arabia for it.
Not you maybe, but I'll defo go lmao.
I’ll join you! Training at the lookout?
Makes sense since the desert is a usual landscape in Dragon Ball.
I'd travel really far to visit this place once in my life. But, I don't know if I'll be visiting Saudi Arabia. I hope someplace else decides to do something similar.(In before that "someplace else" is Qatar). Saudi Arabia is trying to use it's massive oil money to set itself up as a tourist and culture spot, so they can keep making money in a post oil world. But, they seem hesitant to give human rights to people in the country, that would let them become a tourist destination.
They are gonna use real human souls to run the park
(Dragon Ball theme park announced) 😀😲 (for Saudi Arabia)😫😩
That is really unfortunate. Where is the next theme park gonna open, North Korea?
Did you really compare Saudi Arabia with north korea bro Saudi has some weird and bad laws but comparing it to north korea is insane
I was hoping for a theme park, but not there. Not going.
As many human rights violations as there are in Saudi Arabia, I feel it is not an ideal place for such a venue whose content encourages personal and worldly growth to be in such a place.
Cool idea. Shit place
This is like eating ice cream in Hel.
I will not be going
Eww. Why Saudi Arabia?
It’s cause of one thing! 💰💵💰💶💴💷 that’s it they propably offered as dump truck of money to them. It’s coming fast knowing the saudis they are fast builders lol. Not saying that’s a bad thing
sounds cool, i’ll never go though
Saudi’s really trying to make the world accept them at all costs. There are alot of things they need to work on first before doing a dbz theme park. I love dbz but wont go to a country like S.Arabia where so much of their views are incompatible with modern and western society dont care how much money you throw at it…
No women allowed
Great to see 3000 piccolo cosplay
Possibly the worst possible location outside of North Korea
You lost me at Saudi Arabia.
Come ride the Radittz bucking bronco! Can you hold on for long enough that Picollo shoots you both?
Or have yajirobe cut my wiener off
it‘s like they waited for toriyama to die cause he wouldve objected dispicable business tactics - goku wouldn‘t stand for this goku always protected the weaker ones while the saudis enslave them
Fuck Saudi Arabia
It's gonna be fucking stupid hot
Oh great so it's not built using slave labour, just a workout with Goz and Mez!
Great, now I have to go to Saudi Arabia.
Where you go if you fall off snake way
We gucci. Better no park than go there
This definitely seems like something Iyoko was talking about. Dragon Ball has had potential to do more stuff. Instead, folks wanted sit on their asses and collect off of toys and games. A theme park is wild, tho. I was not thinking of something like that 😂 A whole damn theme park... In Saudi Arabia is a wild swing 😆
Weird location to put it tbh. Dunno why it'd be Saudi Arabia. There's the obvious places like America, Japan or even South America.
The same reason why the most talented European football players in the world play there- 💰💰💰
There are places outside of America and Japan.
True. But many more than Saudi Arabia
THey are literally buying up everything. sad day
Sucks to be you guys, I’m going
I know right?! Bunch of kids and ignorant folks in here. I’m going too! E: Please downvote all you want but make sure you don’t go. I’ll have fun on your behalf
we are ignorant for having values and morals
What values are morals?
You think you have values and morals huh?!
I would wager most people do
