Ferrari Park Views

General Goods

In late 2005, it was reported that Ferrari and Aldar Properties signed an agreement to build the world's first Ferrari theme park in Abu Dhabi. At the time it was expected that the park was to open in 2008,[7] however, delays saw it bumped back until 2010. Construction began in November 2008 and was completed in under two years.[8] In mid 2010, it was announced that Ferrari World would open on October 28, 2010.[1][2] This opening was delayed by a week due to the passing of Ras al-Khaimah's leader the day prior.[9] Ferrari World officially opened to the public on November 4, 2010.[5]

Please read a little before you make ignorant comments. Events have been held in Eastern counrties for many years, SBK, Moto GP as examples. These happen to be very attractive to conglamorates such as Ferrari because money is no object. And by the way, that $60 you just pumped into your pick up helped with the costs to build the Ferrari park...

This truly epic tourist trap (located in Abu Dhabi, natch) is the world's largest indoor amusement park, with twenty Ferrari-themed rides created by Ohio-based experience design firm Jack Rouse Associates. Attractions like Made in Maranello ( a virtual tour inside the Ferrari factory in Maranello offering a glimpse into the design, assembly and testing of a Ferrari GT ), Carousel ( Ferrari’s version of the traditional carousel featuring prototype cars ), and Driving with Champions ( an interactive 3-D show which follows the life of a Ferrari engineer ) will appeal to any auto-design buff. But there's also a 150mph Ferrari-themed roller coaster (the world's fastest, designed by Intamin AG), a driving school for children complete with kiddie-sized F430 GT Spiders, and a water ride that blasts you through the a giant model of a Ferrari 599 engine.

Ferrari is bringing pedal-to-the-metal thrills to the world of theme parks in a bid to tap into a love for speed and luxury cars among people in the oil-rich Middle East. The Italian carmaker has opened Ferrari World, with what the company says is the world's fastest roller coaster and a 20-storey tower ride that duplicates the G-forces felt by race car drivers. Ferrari is the first sports car manufacturer to make a foray into theme parks, calling it the world's largest indoor park and the first in the Middle East.
