Opened in 2010, Ferrari World boasts a sprawling 86,000 square-meter canopy adorned with a massive Ferrari emblem, setting the record as the world’s largest covered theme park.
Key Attractions Boasting 19 rides, including two thrilling roller coasters, here are the must-sees:
- Formula Rossa: Not only the park’s highlight but also the fastest roller coaster globally, hitting speeds up to 150 mph (240 kph).
- Fiorano GT Challenge: This twin-track roller coaster simulates a race in Ferrari F430s, offering a head-to-head competition.
- Galleria Ferrari: An intimate, hands-on exhibit showcasing iconic historical Ferrari models.
- G-Force: A heart-pounding experience that shoots guests 200 feet into the air before a sudden drop. Additionally, the park offers special attractions for kids, including designing Ferrari miniatures, driving a Ferrari Spider F430 GT, and piloting a miniature Formula One car.
Visitors can also indulge in several simulators, virtual journeys, and 3D experiences, diving into Ferrari’s storied heritage and influence.
Getting There
- Book a Tour: An effortless choice, this includes hotel pickup, transportation, and entry, ideal for those preferring not to navigate Dubai’s roads.
- Exotic car rental: An alternative, though remember to include a smartphone with GPS for easier navigation.
- Public Transport: The most budget-friendly but somewhat inconvenient option involves taking a bus to Abu Dhabi and then a taxi to Ferrari World.
Room for Improvement Despite its illustrious brand, Ferrari World may fall short for both aficionados and thrill-seekers alike, particularly when compared with renowned parks like Alton Towers or Disneyland Paris. The park’s flagship ride, “Formula Rossa,” frequently undergoes maintenance, dimming the allure given the steep admission price. It’s wise to check the official website for the ride’s operational status before planning a visit.
