This iconic amusement park stands as a tribute to the illustrious legacy of the Ferrari brand. Among its myriad attractions, the heart-pounding rides stand out as the epitome of excitement, pushing the boundaries of engineering and design. From Formula Rossa, the world's fastest roller coaster, to Flying Aces, a coaster that defies gravity with its inversions and loops, each ride is a testament to Ferrari's commitment to excellence and the pursuit of automotive perfection.
If your passion lies in the thrill of speed, Formula Rossa is tailor-made for you! This isn't your typical roller coaster that relies on sudden drops from extreme heights or stomach-churning swirls to induce screams. Instead, brace yourself for an exhilarating experience centred around lightning speed. Accelerating to an astonishing 149mph in just 5 seconds, this ride utilizes a hydraulic launch system reminiscent of those employed on aircraft carriers to achieve this unimaginable velocity.
Prepare to put your reflexes to the test with the Fiorano GT Challenge, an exhilarating ride that will provide a thrill to you multiple times. This dynamic experience features two F430 spider-shaped cars navigating parallel tracks, and the excitement peaks when, at various intervals, these twin roller-coasters intersect, creating a sensation that riders are on the brink of a collision and ensuring an adrenaline-pumping adventure for all who embark on the Fiorano GT Challenge.
If you're a gamer, this segment is sure to get your adrenaline pumping. Scuderia Challenge at Ferrari World introduces a cutting-edge racing simulator game that immerses you in a six-man velocity race around a virtual Yas Marina Circuit. With 180-degree screens enveloping you and a responsive steering wheel in your hands, the experience mimics the sensation of a genuine race. Engage the brakes, and you'll feel the inertia; collide with an obstacle, and brace yourself for the bump; step on the accelerator, and the rush of speed will be palpable - a fascinating application of technology beyond a deluxe suite of Abu Dhabi.
Just as you start to take pride in uncovering the reality that every attraction at Ferrari World revolves solely around speed, Speed of Magic emerges as an unexpected twist. Initially appearing as just another roller coaster, and one seemingly suitable for children of younger ages, you find yourself virtually trailing an animated character soaring at high speed through various exotic settings. The exhilarating effects of the flight's highs and lows are both impressive and thrilling, making for an exciting detour from your stay at the Oaks Liwa Executive Suites.
This space-shot adventure is not for the faint-hearted, propelling you 62 meters into the air only to plummet straight down. Hurtling at a speed of 12 meters per second, you might find yourself uttering your final life wish in vain! Despite the ominous anticipation, this thrilling yet secure descent will have you screaming with excitement, reminiscent of a child's pure zest. Ever experienced bungee jumping? Well, G-Force ride shares the sudden drop from an incredible height, but that's where the similarities end.
