YouTube Star MrBeast Opens Thrilling Amusement Park in Riyadh

As of November 13, 2025, the world's most followed YouTuber, MrBeast, has opened a temporary amusement park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The park, named "Beast Land," features obstacle course-like challenges similar to those seen in MrBeast's popular online videos, where contestants compete for massive cash prizes.

Eager fans, both families and teenagers, have flocked to the venue to meet the social media star and participate in the exciting activities. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, stated that he wanted to do something special for his large Middle Eastern fanbase, who make up a significant portion of his over 450 million subscribers.

The amusement park is part of Riyadh Season, an annual festival launched by the Saudi government to promote the capital city as a major tourist destination. With the kingdom's young population and high rates of smartphone and internet penetration, the region has become a prime market for influencers like MrBeast.

Every day, the visitor with the highest score at Beast Land will win 7,000 riyals (around $1,866), and the participant with the best overall score over the 45-day event will receive a grand prize of 1 million riyals (approximately $266,645). This unique opportunity has drawn crowds from across Saudi Arabia, including a family who traveled over 400 kilometers from the city of Khobar to experience the festivities.
