Ferrari World Opens It's Doors

[Wizzo]

Ferrari World, the first ever theme park dedicated to Ferrari, was lately presented to the international press in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. However, the public opening was postponed owing to the death of 92-year-old Sheik Saqr bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi, the ruler of emirate Ras Al Khaimah.

The 40-acre theme park on Yas Island will now open its doors to the public on November 4, 2010. Designed by Benoy Architects, the stunning roof of Ferrari World is modeled after the side profile of a Ferrari GT and has a total surface area of 200,000 square meters (2,200,000 sq ft) with a perimeter of 2,200 meters.


Attractions: The world’s largest indoor theme park features a range of rides and attractions to create an extraordinary experience for everyone. Some of the amazing attractions of the Ferrari World include…

• Formula Rossa – The world’s fastest roller coaster reaching speeds of up to 150mph.

• Speed of Magic – A fantasy journey that lets you follow the adventures of a young boy as he travels through 4-D fantasy dreamscapes.

• V12 – An exciting flume ride to the heart of a 12 cylinders engine.

I love roller coasters, but sorry, an INDOOR coaster that reaches speeds of 150mph?  Sounds like suicide (wonder what kind of g's it pulls in corners and to stop?).

The place does seem kinda cool, but I'd be wearing my RBR gear if I went.

I'd go naked just to get a look round.
