The former Mirapolis amusement park site in Val-d’Oise, near Paris, is the subject of a proposed redevelopment project involving Saudi Arabian investors. The Qiddiya Investment Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), is reportedly in discussions with French authorities to transform the abandoned site into a Dragon Ball-themed leisure complex.

Estimates suggest the investment could exceed one billion euros. While the Élysée has not officially confirmed the details, reports indicate that confidential discussions between France and Saudi Arabia have been ongoing for several months. The project is viewed as part of Saudi Arabia’s strategy to diversify its economy into tourism and entertainment, while regional officials note the potential benefits for the Val-d'Oise area. The Mirapolis site has remained abandoned since its closure in 1991.
