With ticket prices starting at USD 7, the park—rooted in his viral videos—bets on gamification, rewards, and immersive experiences. Will it make its way to the United States?

The opening is scheduled for November 13 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking a milestone in the convergence of digital entertainment, physical experiences, and a business model grounded in engagement.

 

Jimmy Donaldson, known globally as MrBeast, revealed on the social network X that the park will be named Beast. He stressed that his aim was to avoid the traditional park model.

Key details of Beast Land:

Two differentiated zones:

 

  • Beast Land: immersive attractions and theming-driven roller coasters.

 

  • Beast Arena: interactive games where visitors accumulate points and win real-time prizes.

 

 

Accessible pricing: tickets range from USD 7 to USD 66, now on sale.

Gamification strategy: attendees can take on challenges similar to those in his videos, with opportunities to win everything from cash to exclusive merchandise.

“I didn’t want this to be a typical theme park; I started from first principles and built games I’d love to try.”

Why it matters (business perspective):

 

  • Monetization of audience beyond ads: MrBeast transfers his digital community into a physical space, generating recurring revenue streams (tickets, merch, sponsorships).

 

  • Low-cost, high-engagement model: low prices enable mass access, while gamification drives repeat visits and organic virality.

 

  • Brand expansion into experiential: it’s not a traditional park; it’s an extension of his content, deepening fans’ loyalty and attracting new audiences.
