Ferrari World Abu Dhabi – World’s Largest Indoor Theme Park Opens up on 27th October

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the world’s largest indoor theme park and the world’s first Ferrari theme park, will open to the public on Wednesday October 27, a day earlier than planned. 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.

The red roof of the park is a direct take off from the iconic double curve of the Ferrari GT body – and spans 200,000 square metres. Emblazoned on it is a sight that any Ferrari lover would kill to get a look at – the biggest Ferrari logo ever made.

The autocentric theme park, next to the Yas Marina Circuit racetrack, will offer more than 20 action-packed attractions. Sure to be a big draw is the Formula Rossa (red) roller coaster, which the park claims will be the fastest in the world, with carts inspired by F1 race cars reaching grand prix-worthy speeds of 149 miles per hour. A flume-type water ride, meanwhile, passes through a supersize Ferrari 599 V12 engine.
