Hey everyone!

By now I'm sure most of you know we did another "Where in the World is Robb & Elissa" contest in December when we did our little recon trip to Dubai! Our goal of the trip was to scope out the place for a future TPR Dubai trip...which we ended up liking Dubai and the UAE so much that we already have our plans set to take the TPR group back!

I realized I never did a full TR, so I guess it's time for that to happen now! We did quite a bit in a short amount of time, I should have quite a few photos and hopefully a few videos as well. Here goes nothing....

Nice Updates, Is V12 Better than Valhalla with special effects?

Can't wait to see more.

No, it's terrible. There are very few "effects" in V12, if any. Mostly just black lit scenes and movie screens.

[GLundDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Wow.

Hate to be negative but even through the photos I understand the "not finished" feeling you're talking about at Ferrari World. Looks like they had a lot of great ideas that started up, then lost funding or interest and just completely stopped! Its kinda sad to be honest with a project scope as large as this.

You didn't sound too bummed to miss Formula Rosa. I don't really blame you!

Thanks for the Photo TR though, it's nice to see how things are going there!

[LedgyWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

Oh Noes! We are flying right over Baghdad!

Same thought

Great TR, I´m looking forward to the rest of your Trip!

When did you visit Ferrari World, Thursday? I was confused because Formula Rossa was closed on your visit; seems it was just opened that week on my visit day then. But I shouldn´t be surprised, since they had so much problems to get it started that day I really love the amazing launch!

[ILoveRides"Gelato isn't vegan?"]

I'm glad you're posting your Dubai pics/video! Thanks for the Ferrari World TR, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your Dubai pics. I haven't seen too many TRs from Dubai, so it's all really informative.

[AnythingHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Great set of photos there, Robb. How tall is that drop tower? It doesn't look very big but I suspect that is because of the scale next to the building.

[LedgyWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

^Hanno,

yes, I read it. I asked for the exact date or day. I remember I was there in the same week and followed the "Where in the World..."-Topic and Robbs FB-page, while I was at Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Because of that I was a little bit confused to hear, that Formula Rossa was closed while they visited the park. But it can´t be a big distance between our visit. I was there on Wednesday in the first week of December and Formula Rossa was opened but they had problems. It seems that was this was the only day it was opened and on the next days the attraction has closed. Just curious about that.

I hope you're holding back, because this trip report says otherwise.

Next up....a bit of credit whoring through Abu Dhabi!

Anxiously awaiting, and hoping for strange oddities seen nowhere else. Thanks guys!
