In one hundred days time,
on 28 October, the world’s first Ferrari theme park, and
the largest of its kind, will open its doors to the
public in Abu Dhabi. With more than 20 rides and
attractions lying beneath the 200,000 m2 red roof,
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi hopes to offer guests the time
of their lives with the thrill of some of the world’s
most inventive rides, eye-catching surroundings and a
host of attractions that indulge the senses in ways
never experienced before.
Some of the state-of-the-art attractions on show include
the fantasy world of ‘Nello’ at Speed of Magic, as the
mischievous racing driver leads guests on a 4-D
adventure through deep green jungles to icy caves and
ravines. Guests can also go faster than anyone has ever
been before on a roller coaster when they ride Formula
Rossa, which powers them to 240 km/h in less than five
seconds.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi hopes to be one of the signature
features of Yas Island, a 2,500 hectare island that is
dedicated to "leisure, entertainment and lifestyle".
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is a development by Aldar
Properties PJSC, Abu Dhabi’s leading property
development, management and investment company and will
be managed by Farah Leisure Parks Management LLC, a
joint venture between Aldar Properties PJSC and ProFun
Management Group Inc., an international leisure
facilities management and operating company.
