27th October 2010 is the date we’ve all been waiting for, as Ferrari World, the largest indoor theme park in the world and the first ever Ferrari branded theme park will open its doors to customers.
Located on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island, the park is as impressive externally as it is inside, with its unmistakable red façade (in keeping with the Ferrari brand) visible from some distance and situated directly next the Formula One racing track.
The whole family can enjoy this thrilling park which features over 20 incredible attractions including:
• Formula Rossa, the world’s fastest rollercoaster, reaching speeds of up to 240 km/h, emulating the feeling of being in a Ferrari F1 car
• G-force experience taking passengers on an adrenaline-pumping ride up over 62m, through the roof and back down again
• State-of-the-art racing simulators as those used by the Ferrari racing team
If all this sounds a little too ‘white knuckle’ for younger guests, fear not, as there are lot more attractions at your fingertips, including:
• Flume ride journey through the heart of a Ferrari 599 engine
• Driving and Racing school for junior drivers, with expert training
• Aerial voyage over Italy following a Ferrari
Wander or drive down Bell’Italia, a little Italy featuring cobbled footpaths and elevated walkways, with a small scale Ferrari 250 California on hand to explore this 6,300 sqm attraction with 17 different stops including the Amalfi Coast, Monza racetrack, Rome Colosseum and Maranello!
Added to this, there is a wide choice of dining outlets from fine dining to quick service and deli style coffee houses, and as you might imagine, you can pick up some Ferrari branded fashions, merchandise and accessories through a range of one-of-a-kind boutique stores. There are even customised souvenirs for the children to take home.
Be sure to check our wide range of Abu Dhabi hotels and make this an experience not to forget!
