Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Ferrari-branded theme park on Yas Island, United Arab Emirates
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is a theme park on Yas Island dedicated to the Italian car brand, sitting under a red roof bearing the logo. Inside, more than forty rides and attractions spread across different zones inspired by racing and engineering, offering driving experiences for all ages.
The site opened in November 2010 after several years of planning and became the first amusement park in the world fully dedicated to a car manufacturer. Since then, new rides and exhibition pieces have been added regularly to reinforce the growing importance of Yas Island as an entertainment destination.
The name comes from Italian motor racing, and everywhere you see the prancing horse on yellow, the emblem of the brand from Maranello. Inside, rides alternate with exhibitions where visitors can examine engines and historic racing cars up close.
The park opens daily from late morning and closes in the evening, with exact times varying slightly by season. At the entrance, lockers and several dining areas are available where visitors can take breaks between rides.
Formula Rossa accelerates to 240 kilometers per hour (149 miles per hour) in less than five seconds, remaining the fastest roller coaster in the world. Riders receive safety goggles when boarding because the speed would otherwise strain eyes and face too much.
