Ferrari theme park opens




This remarkable six-pronged red building is Ferrari World, the maker's first theme park and a sight sure to have would-be owners giddy with supercar-based excitement.

Set to open in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari describes it as 'an intense multi-sensory experience and a must-visit for enthusiasts, fans and families'. Its design is apparently inspired by the side profile of the Ferrari GT body, but in case you're thinking this is just a puffed up Ferrari showroom, think again: Ferrari World will host some of the most thrilling rides this side of Disney World.

Appropriately, the site will boast the world's fastest rollercoaster when its doors open in early 2010, which will hit speeds in excess of 124mph. There's also a 'G-force experience' that goes through the roof and back down again, a journey 'into the heart of a Ferrari 599 engine', and a racing school for young drivers.

It will become the world's largest indoor theme park when it opens, with over one million square feet of floor space containing two restaurants and, of course, a massive Ferrari shop, claimed to be 'a retail experience that celebrates Ferrari's rich heritage in a way never seen before.'
