Ferrari World

The World's Largest Indoor Amusement Park!

For all those Ferrari fans out there, Ferrari World is a dream come true. Located in Abu Dhabi, it has everything one could want for a great day (or even night) out. It is situated on Yas Island and includes theme parks, water parks, spas, themed resort hotels, physical centers, golf courses and much more. It is the largest indoor amusement park in the world and the first ever Ferrari themed playground in the world.

Within its 925,696 square feet of plush interior you will have plenty to entertain you. The park features over 20 rides and attractions, each specially designed to cover the various aspects of the legend that is Ferrari.

The park is the result of collaboration between Ferrari and Aldar properties, Abu Dhabi’s leading property development, management and Investment Company. The park officially opened to the public on 4th of November 2010.

Ferrari World is also famous for its spectacular roof, which is modeled after the side profile of a Ferarri GT. It has a total surface area of 2,152,782 feet and 12,370 tons of steel have been used to support the roof. As if all this wasn’t enough, the roof is also decorated with the largest Ferrari logo ever built. It measures 65m by 48.5 m. It is truly a symbol of engineering at its best.

The rides inside Ferrari World are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It contains Formula Rossa, the world’s fastest rollercoaster. This coaster propels daredevils to speeds up to 240 km/hr, imitating the feeling of being in a Ferrari F1 car. There’s also G-Force, the spaceshot tower which launches riders 62 m in the air before plunging back to Earth, experiencing the actual G-force of a Ferrari, in a seat directly inspired by the Ferrari Enzo. There are many other rides such as Viaggio in Italia, V12 and Speed of Magic which offer the experience of a lifetime.

Even if you’re not a thrill-seeker there is plenty to keep yourself entertained. There’s a Ferrari Gallery which is the largest outside Maranello. Moreover, Yas Island offers a fine dining and shopping experience, with authentic Italian Food and unique shopping locations.
