Ferrari World is an indoor theme park on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, built around the Ferrari marque and motor racing. Its headline ride, Formula Rossa, reaches up to 240 km/h; Flying Aces climbs through a 52-metre loop. You can also try driving simulators, see Ferrari cars dating back to 1947, and find rides and activities for children. The park stays indoors, apart from the Formula Rossa ride, so it is a practical choice when the weather outside is hot. A rooftop walk adds views across Yas Island.
Rides for speed fans
Formula Rossa is the park’s signature coaster. It accelerates to 240 km/h in under five seconds, reaching a height of 52 metres. The ride is built for visitors seeking high-speed thrills, so check its current operating status when you arrive, as attractions can close temporarily for maintenance.
Flying Aces offers another major coaster experience, with a 52-metre loop and speeds reported at up to 120 km/h. Other named attractions include Fiorano GT Challenge, Turbo Track and Scuderia Challenge. The range gives you options beyond the two headline coasters, though queues can slow progress between rides.
Ferrari cars and interactive experiences
The park pairs rides with exhibits and activities tied to Ferrari and motor racing. Its car collection includes models dating back to 1947. Made in Maranello and Motor Midway Games are among the named attractions, and driving simulators let you take on a virtual racing course.
Some activities are designed for younger visitors. Junior GT and Junior Grand Prix give children a chance to try scaled-down driving experiences. There are also interactive games and shows, alongside attractions intended for families. Ride restrictions differ, and many rides have a 130 cm height limit, so check requirements before planning around a particular coaster.
An indoor park on Yas Island
Ferrari World is on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, inside a large building beneath its distinctive red roof. The roof’s shape draws on the profile of a Ferrari GT, and the structure carries a large Ferrari logo. A rooftop walk is another way to take in views over Yas Island.
Because most of the park is indoors, it can be a useful choice during hot weather. Formula Rossa is an exception, as the coaster travels outside. The park also has family attractions, simulators and shows, so a visit need not revolve entirely around the fastest rides. Weekdays are a practical choice if you want to avoid the larger queues reported on busier days.
