You cannot describe Passion , You can only live it.
Enzo Ferrari
After many fun days at Yas Island—exploring Warner Bros., SeaWorld, and Yas Waterworld—it was time for something more intense. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the main attraction of Yas Island, called to us with exciting promises of speed, innovative design, and thrilling experiences that would get our hearts racing.
The day began with excitement: taking the Yas shuttle after a tasty lunch at Yas Mall, and that Doner kebab—a delicious Turkish dish, perfectly grilled—was amazing! But this was more than just a park visit; it was like entering a world dedicated to human achievement and the pursuit of excellence. Every corner of Ferrari World told stories of racing legends, impressive engineering, and dreams that changed the concept of speed!
We entered Ferrari World with excitement, surrounded by impressive buildings and thrilling rides, all honoring Ferrari’s legacy. We soon realized that we were about to embark on an extraordinary adventure.
A World Beyond Imagination
Stepping inside Ferrari World is like stepping into a dream. The massive structure seems to shrink everything else around you. It’s a place where record-breaking rides and immersive experiences blend effortlessly. The park is divided into sections—family-friendly rides, Italian heritage, and heart-stopping adventures—all waiting to sweep you off your feet.
Our journey began with a gentle ride through a miniaturized Italy. Seated in a replica of the classic Ferrari 250 California, we meandered past breathtaking cityscapes, iconic landmarks, and famous racetracks. From the serene coastline of Portofino to the grandeur of the Colosseum, this ride felt like a love letter to Ferrari’s homeland.
The Genius Behind Ferrari World
Before we leave this section, here’s something to marvel at: Ferrari World Abu Dhabi wasn’t built overnight. It took three years and 12,370 tons of steel to bring this masterpiece to life. The park’s central dome is a staggering 50 meters high, designed to represent the Ferrari logo on an F1 car—an homage to the brand’s iconic heritage.
What’s even more fascinating? The Formula Rossa ride’s hydraulic launch system was adapted from aircraft carrier technology, ensuring the ride could achieve its record-breaking speeds safely and efficiently.
It’s not just a theme park—it’s a testament to Ferrari’s philosophy of pushing boundaries and embracing innovation.
Flying Through Ferrari’s Heartland: Viaggio in Italia
As we entered the Italian section, our expectations were modest. But within minutes, Viaggio in Italia had us spellbound.
Pro tip: Choose the last row for the ultimate experience.
The ride lifted us into the air, and suddenly, we were chasing a Ferrari across a spectacular Italian landscape. Mountains, vineyards, bustling cities—every frame was breathtaking. The multi-sensory simulator, inspired by the legendary Mille Miglia endurance race, brought Ferrari’s passion to life.
For a moment, I felt a childlike wonder. The sights, the sounds, the thrill—it was like touching a piece of a dream. By the end of the ride, I wasn’t just in awe of Ferrari; I was inspired by the artistry and vision behind it.
The Thrills That Test Your Limits
Formula Rossa: A Ride Like No Other
Imagine strapping into the cockpit of a Ferrari, putting on goggles, and accelerating to 240 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The Formula Rossa is not just a roller coaster; it’s a test of courage.
