Ferrari previews Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
10/30/2009, 3:18 PMBy Andrew Ganz
The Middle East has rapidly become the world’s premiere market for high-end supercars, so it should come as little surprise that Ferrari intends to open a performance-inspired theme park to showcase its automobiles in Abu Dhabi.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, which is set to open next year, will contain 20 attractions, “each designed to bring to life a different part of the Ferrari story,” according to the automaker.
The facility will be the world’s largest indoor park and will be located on Yas Island about 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi’s airport.
The world’s fastest roller coaster emulating the feel of a Formula 1 car will be on hand, as will a G-force simulator and various racing simulators to give ordinary civilians the feel of a Formula 1 vehicle. A “flume ride” journey will take riders through the heart of a Ferrari 599 motor, as well.

These are some of the very first photos of the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi theme park after the completion of the almost alien-like external structure. Set to be the world's largest indoor theme park and the first ever Ferrari theme park in the world when it opens in 2010, it comes complete with a racetrack that will host the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, shops, hotels, various attractions, rides and just about anything else to make it a gear-head's "Disney Land".
Talking about Disney Land, the Ferrari theme park which is located on Yas Island between the coast and city of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, will include the world's fastest rollercoaster. Travelling at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph), it is said to emulate the feeling of being in a Ferrari F1 car as the passengers go over 62 m through the roof and back down again.
As for the theme park's now completed red roof, which is claimed to have been directly inspired by the classic double curve side profile of the Ferrari GT body, it covers a surface area of 200,000m² (2.15 million square feet) and features the largest "prancing horse" emblem in the world, measuring an astonishing 66 meters (217 feet) in diameter.
