Falcon's Flight is a roller coaster manufactured by Swiss company Intamin currently under construction at Six Flags Qiddiya in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The roller coaster was announced to be the world's fastest, tallest, and longest roller coaster. Portions of the coaster will also go over the planned Qiddiya circuit, which is scheduled to host the Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix from the 2024 season onward.

As stated before, its the longest roller coaster, but it is beaten by Tobotronc as the longest coaster overall.
