ferrari theme park


the world's first ferrari theme park - ferrari world abu dhabi is set to open in october 2010. 
announced as 'an intense multi-sensory experience and a must-visit for enthusiasts, fans and families'.
the park pays tribute to the passion, excellence, performance, technical innovation that ferrari 
has established over the years and represents today. its iconic sleek red roof is directly influenced
by the classic double curve side profile of the ferrari gt body, spanning 200,000 m2 and carrying
the largest ferrari logo ever created. 

ferrari world abu dhabi will host a number of attractions, including rides for children of all ages, 
providing the complete ferrari experience: over 20 state-of-the-art attractions, each designed to 
bring to life a different part of the ferrari story, including the world’s fastest rollercoaster, travelling 
at speeds exceeding 200 km/h and emulating the thrilling sensation of being in a ferrari f1 car, or 
the g-force experience taking passengers on an adrenaline-pumping ride up over 62 m, through 
the roof and back down again.

the park is located on yas island - set to become a global tourist destination with a wide range
of accommodation and entertainment facilities - on the north east side of abu dhabi’s mainland.
abu dhabi, at the crossroads between europe, asia and africa, was chosen as the ideal location 
to build the ferrari theme park, motor sports being extremely popular in the united arab emirates.
ferrari world abu dhabi will offer a unique and intensely fun way, together with a wide variety 
of italian delicacies, and of course unique shopping experiences.
