An Overview of the Legendary Ferrari World
What do you expect heading to Abu Dhabi? We think it’s a plan-visiting the legendary amusement park Ferrari World. Let’s look at what awaits:
The World’s Fastest Rollercoaster
Forget the cars for a moment. Ferrari world offers speeds like no other. Get on the Formula Rossa to experience the thrill speeding along the 2.2km course at mind blowing speeds of upto 240 km/hr. Tighten your belts and put on your goggles and join this incredible ride.
Junior Pilotas Driving School
This is a really exciting experience for kids who get to not only ride a Ferrari, but they also get to learn about the traffic rules. The young GT drivers get instructions from trained experts before hitting the road and cruising in a mini sized 430 GT Spider. By the time they’re done, they’ll be equipped with traffic rules, signs and the laws of the road.
Competition Galore
Rev those engines and get ready to race against your friends in the Fiorano GT challenge. This is all in your Ferrari F430 Spider as you compete against your friends. Launch away from the starting line and off to the twisting parallel tracks. It’s a real thrill as you get immersed in a real drag race experience reaching speeds of upto 95 km/hr. If competition is in your blood, well, this is an absolute treat!
The Fantasy Dreamscape
Do you want to visit where no Ferrari has been before? The 4D simulator takes you on a journey over cliffs and into the depths of the oceans which really bring your imagination to life. Feel the warmth of the jungle and varying temperatures through the ice caves. Clearly no Ferrari has been in this wonderland before.
The Simulator Race
Presenting to you the Scuderia Challenge where you race against record lap times with a variety of Ferraris either solo or in a group-friends maybe? The ultimate goal is to truly challenge yourself and see what you’re truly made of ;)
Turbo Track
This is yet another rewarding experience for thrill seekers. It offers us endurance challenge but only for the brave at heart.
