YouTube sensation MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is launching his first-ever theme park, Beast Land, on November 13 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 27-year-old creator, known for his large-scale stunts and viral challenges, announced the project on X, writing, "Next week Beast Land, our brand new theme park opens. We built custom games modeled after our videos that don't exist ANYWHERE else and will have the world's largest prize wall."
Boasting more than 450 million subscribers, MrBeast is the world's most-followed YouTuber and one of its highest earners. His videos, ranging from recreating Squid Game to giving away houses and funding charity projects, have built him a global fan base that now gets a chance to experience his challenges in real life.
Unlike a conventional amusement park, Beast Land is designed around interactive, high-energy games inspired by his content. Among the attractions are Tower Siege, where visitors launch balls from catapults into massive 60-foot tubes for points; Drop Zone, which sees six players standing on trap doors, with the last to press a button getting dropped; and Airmail, where guests zipline over a target and drop weighted bags for accuracy. Other attractions listed on the ticket site include Endeavour, Energize, Sling Shot, and Coco Beach Coaster.
"I didn't want this to be like a typical theme park," MrBeast explained. "Thought of things from first principles and created games I would love to play. Tons of original games created, plus of course we have rollercoasters and rides."
When questioned about the Saudi Arabian location, MrBeast replied, "Middle of the world because a majority of my audience is outside America and we have a big Middle Eastern fan base. Wanted to give them a chance to participate!"
MrBeast, who has previously faced both praise and criticism for his daring stunts, continues to expand his brand beyond YouTube. With Beast Land, he aims to give fans a first-hand taste of the kind of challenges that made him a global phenomenon.
