Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - The world's most popular YouTuber, MrBeast (James Donaldson), has launched 'Beast Land', a theme park featuring elaborate endurance challenges inspired by his viral videos. The 27-year-old reached a milestone 100 billion views on the platform this month. In a bid to become a global entertainment hub, Saudi Arabia has been aggressively courting international talent, including celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo and Naomi Campbell. MrBeast's high-profile visit marks a significant step in this endeavor. Beast Land combines rollercoasters and theme park attractions with challenges reminiscent of American Gladiator-style games, such as a 'slap button' game where the last player standing avoids a cushioned trap. Donaldson's fans, predominantly from outside the US, will have the chance to experience his videos in real life. The launch is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, a plan to diversify the economy and modernize society. The country's capital, Riyadh, has undergone a transformation, hosting the Riyadh Season with various events, including concerts, sports competitions, and cultural festivals. MrBeast has faced controversy in the past, including a lawsuit filed by Mexico over a video shot at the ancient Maya pyramids. However, the YouTuber remains optimistic about the potential of his new theme park, saying, 'Give it a try, it's much more developed than you'd think.' The kingdom's willingness to offer substantial compensation has attracted international talent, with Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly earning over $200 million for his contract with Al Nassr. MrBeast's decision to choose Saudi Arabia as the location for his theme park was influenced by the country's easily accessible studio space.
