France and Saudi Arabia announced a joint plan to construct a Dragon Ball Z–themed amusement park north‑west of Paris, with an estimated cost of €6 billion ($7 billion). Reuters reported that the idea originated from a 2025 meeting between French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who discussed their mutual appreciation for the Dragon Ball franchise. The project will be financed by Qiddiya, the Saudi entertainment and investment group developing a similar Dragon Ball attraction in its planned city near Riyadh. The park will include more than five rides, 30 attractions, a 230‑foot Shenron statue, hotels and restaurants, and a construction timeline has not been disclosed. The announcement follows Saudi Arabia’s broader investments in sports and entertainment, such as the LIV Golf league and the acquisition of EA, and comes as France considers additional theme park developments near Paris.
