The guide on the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, I mentioned about Ferrari World Abu Dhabi — the world's first theme park dedicated to Ferrari. I'll tell you more about it.
If you're a fan of speed and thrills, then you certainly should visit the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. This place will be remembered for a long time, because it is the world's first theme park dedicated to the legendary Italian brand Ferrari.

It is located on the artificial Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, which in itself is a reason to visit, besides this incredible complex occupies an area of ​​200 000 square meters, and so grandiose dimensions give Ferrari World in the first place of the podium in the world among parks located indoors.

As you know, in the United Arab Emirates, like everything to be with a particular style. Here, the highest building in the world, the most expensive cars, the most grandiose fountains. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, as the world's largest indoor park, is not limited to the first place of its size, there is also the fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa, the maximum speed which is 240 km / h, and achieved it in less than 5 seconds (impressive, is not it?). Length of the route is 2.2 km away and the attraction for the form resembles the legendary Italian race track in Monza.

By the way, the Ferrari logo, crowning the roof of the building, has a size 65h48,5 meters and is the largest ever created company logo. Ferrari World roof unusual design was developed by architects Benoy, who were inspired by this idea, looking at a double bend Ferrari GT side profile. 12,370 tons of steel were used for the maintenance of the roof, in the center of which is a hundred-meter glazed funnel. All other work on the construction, planning and design of the facade of the building was carried out under the guidance of company Ramboll. Construction of the building lasted for two years, from November 2008 to November 2010. The grand opening of the Ferrari World the official on 4 November 2010 and since that time the park is accessible year-round.

So if you are limited on time, they may be worth paying more for a «fast pass». Each visitor receives a kind of map that designated park scheme and the list of «attractions».

We exaggerate when we write «attractions.» No, no, of course, here you expect the American race and spaceshot («free fall»), which will take you to dizzying heights of 62 meters from the ground, only to abruptly «fly» down, but most of the park is the exhibition stands, depicting, for example, the paddock, «Formula 1»

gallery or parts and machinery,

virtual tour of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, allowing visitors to get an idea about the design, assembly and testing of the Ferrari GT, mini-cinema, and others.

There are 20 so-called «attractions» There are also racing games, children's soft play area with miniature radio-controlled Ferrari, 4D-cinema or a trip on the artificial water channel inside the engine Ferrari 599. In total the park.

For example, some of them:
Fiorano GT Challenge — double roller coaster catapult launch production Maurer Söhne. It represents a kind of competition in drag racing for two teams. As the machines are used here as a model Ferrari F430, capable of accelerating to 95 km / h.
Scuderia Challenge is a racing simulator. You can feel yourself in the role of «Formula-1» pilot sit in a racing car and take part in the race on a virtual track Yas Marina alone or with a group. Like the simulators used by racers Scuderia Ferrari in training, the simulator fully immerses you in race conditions.

Speed ​​of Magic — 4D representation of the adventures of the boy Nello riders, together with whom you will be able to fly along the rocks, to find yourself in the heart of the jungle to experience risk in ice caves, and even at the bottom of the ocean. Feeling extreme temperatures, moisture, light and movement gives the impression, like a fantastic adventure. Thus, you will be able to experience the Ferrari «magic» and dive into an imaginary world with his family.

Bell'Italia — this booth, showing the famous regions of Italy, the building and the venue for racing competitions. You can choose the Ferrari 250 California Spyder for a trip on the attraction or stroll along the 570-meter track.

Also throughout the park are different presentation cars Ferrari models.

Apart from the «attractions» in Ferrari World Park are the show. Some will take you far in the past, in the 1920s, and show the way to the dream maker of the brand of the Enzo Ferrari, the other will allow to plunge into the world of Ferrari. Or, for example, sitcom show how funny can be a process of replacing the wheels on the pit stop.

Being the first time in Ferrari World, you can not help not to open her mouth in astonishment. Each car attracts literally saying to you, «Take a picture with me!»

But still there is a huge shop with souvenirs and attributes that can make personalized gifts for you and, of course, need some time to sort out and understand in what order and where to go, so that the main thing — do not forget glances at his watch. Bored you just do not have, and hungry, you'll be able to look at one of several restaurants presented here, of course, Italian. Food, of course, is different from that presented itself in Italy, but the general color observed. If you are facing a dilemma, whether to go to Ferrari World, not even hesitate: visit this park need, and most importantly — fully, without haste.
