Ferrari WorldStrap yourself in for the ride of a lifetime at Ferrari World,
which opened at Abu Dhabi's Yas Island in November 2010. At over 2
million sq feet (200,000 sq m) this is the largest indoor amusement
park in the world. The headline attraction is the Formula Rossa
rollercoaster, by some margin the world's fastest, attaining speeds
of up to 160 miles p/h (240km) and an acceleration of 4.8 G, which
is what a Formula One racing driver experiences at full throttle.
The park's many attractions include the largest Ferrari gallery
outside of the brand's headquarters in Marinello, Italy; the Speed
of Magic immersive 4-D film experience; the G-Force space shot
tower; Bell'Italia, which reproduces Italy's main attractions in
miniature; and various state of the art racing simulators. An
enormous red-domed roof encloses the facility, creating a
futuristic and unique structure that has been nominated for several
architectural awards. Ferrari World includes six restaurants,
