Ferrari kicks theme-park fun into high gear

If the giant logo doesn't give it away, the iconic red colour may.

This futuristic-looking building is Ferrari World. It's the world's largest indoor park and is set to open next year in Abu Dhabi.

It will boast the world's fastest roller-coaster and a G-force ride that catapults riders up 62 metres and back down. Just the sort of thrills you'd expect in a park built by a supercar maker.

The venture is also expected to be home to rides for children of all ages, including state-of-the-art racing simulators as used by the Ferrari racing team. There will be a ride showing the heart of a Ferrari 599 engine, a driving and racing school for junior drivers and a cinematic aerial voyage over Italy following a Ferrari.

The Italian company says the sleek roof was inspired by the double-curve profile of the Ferrari GT body. It carries the largest Ferrari logo ever – 65 metres by 48.5 metres. The park is on Yas Island – a 10-minute drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport.
