In the quest for fun it seems the new destination other than Disneyland and Dubai will be Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), is shaping up to be the new mecca for tourists and children. Opening in October this year will be the Ferrari theme park called (no shock with this one..), "Ferrari World".
My boys will be begging me to take them to this newest theme park. As will most people who love high speed cars.
Set to be the world's largest indoor theme park, it comes complete with a racetrack that will host the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, shops, hotels, various attractions, rides and just about anything else to make it a gear-head's "Disney Land".
Talking about Disney Land, the Ferrari theme park which is located on Yas Island between the coast and city of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, will include the world's fastest rollercoaster. Travelling at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph), it is said to emulate the feeling of being in a Ferrari F1 car as the passengers go over 62 m through the roof and back down again.
As for the theme park's now completed red roof, which is claimed to have been directly inspired by the classic double curve side profile of the Ferrari GT body, it covers a surface area of 200,000m² (2.15 million square feet) and features the largest "prancing horse" emblem in the world, measuring an astonishing 66 meters (217 feet) in diameter.Designed by one of the world's most prominent design firms Jack Rouse Associates
