Top 5 Ferrari World Abu Dhabi attractions that fill the need for speed
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi revs up to give visitors a high-octane ride of their life with the park’s top five speed-demons and ultra-exhilarating attractions.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, winner of the “Middle East’s Leading Theme Park 2020” and the “World’s Leading Theme Park 2020” awards, is a thrill-seeker’s dream, with 43 rides, interactive attractions, and simulators that bring the turbo-charged “Ferrari feeling” to life.
Experience the top five reasons true adrenaline junkies flock to Yas Island for their Ferrari fix:
Formula Rossa
Reaching speeds of 140 m.p.h. in a mind-blowing 4.9 seconds, this big, bad roller coaster boasts the title of the world’s fastest. Packed with 20,800 horsepower and the same winch system used to launch jet planes, it’s a scream machine that simulates the “F1-race sensation.” Tuck a towel deep in your pocket to wipe down those sweaty hands after your ride, because you’re about to be propelled 171 feet above the ground in less than five seconds!
Flying Aces
Count Francesco Baracca, legendary “ace of aces,” inspired the world’s first bi-plane themed roller coaster, and Ferrari World made sure it mimicked the hair-raising movements of the 1900s bi-planes. As if that isn’t enough, this beast of a ride has broken three world records, including World’s Steepest Roller Coaster, the World’s Fastest Inclined Cable Lift (51-degree angle, anyone?), and, at 170 feet high, it’s the World’s Tallest Non-Inverted Loop.
Turbo Track
Riders will defy gravity when this monster launches them 209 feet — vertically — through a glass funnel in Ferrari World’s iconic red roof, ending with a heart-pounding zero-gravity fall. Need more? This demon has both forward and backward-facing seats so that guests can experience the launch in both directions for completely different sensations. Prepare to be petrified!
The Roof Walk Experience
Ferrari World’s sprawling red roof can be seen all across Yas Island, and now the island and its spectacular vistas dominate the skyline during this 90-minute roof walk that takes visitors to new heights.
Zip Line
All ziplines have a thrill factor, but this one ramps it up several notches as riders launch down the 1,312-foot-long cable from a tower as high as Ferrari World’s signature roof, and straight through a loop in the Flying Aces track.
