At Qiddiya, we want our guests to try and experience new things – and our Water Theme Park will be no different. Home to 23 rides and attractions - out of which seven will be world firsts - the park's theme and offerings have been designed keeping in mind the Kingdom’s rich culture and heritage, and comfort of our guests. It will be the only water theme park in the world that offers a unique mix of dry and wet rides as well as state-of-the-art competition level facilities for those with a penchant for water sports.

Phillipe Gas, who lead the opening of Shanghai Disneyland, has joined the Qiddiya team.

Philippe Gas has been appointed as the new chief executive officer for the Qiddiya Investment Co. (QIC), the developer of Saudi Arabia’s future capital of entertainment, sports, and the arts.

Following 30 years with The Walt Disney Co., most recently as president and managing director of Walt Disney Attractions Japan and Disneyland International, Gas will replace Qiddiya’s founding CEO Michael Reininger.

Gas was previously the CEO of Euro Disney SCA, the first tourism destination in Europe, and served in the role for seven years. He also led the launch of Shanghai Disney Resort, The Walt Disney Co.’s first theme park in mainland China and its largest international investment to date.

“Qiddiya is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to develop an unforgettable offering that will transform entertainment for an entire region and create cherished memories for current and future generations,” Gas said.
