Hi Guys:
A first post although I've been lurking for a long time. I've been involved with Ferrari World for a long time. Some of the drivel that has been posted in this thread has made us all giggle though. So thanks for the laughs!
Anyway, to address a couple of recurring points...
Re - The impending sale of FWAD by Aldar. Trust me, its the best thing that they could do. Aldar got the place built (eventually), and beyond that, they have no experience in running Theme Parks, the guys at Farah Leisure who operate the park are some of the best known and respected names in the Theme Park industry and there is some incredible expertise among them. It doesn't matter who owns the building. Your concern needs to be with who is operating it. I can assure you that it is in very good hands.
For the guy trying to compare Pennsylvania and Abu Dhabi Government - Really?.... i mean, c'mon man... I refer you again to the paragraph above.
Regarding riding Rossa without the trims. Believe me, you don't want to do that. It would kill you, or at best hurt you. I'm fit, in my 20's, and I look after myself. It takes me a few minutes after riding the coaster to get my insides back into position. The only people that could ride Rossa with the trims off are fighter pilots experienced in carrier launches, and even then, they are generally sensible folks who just wouldn't. That's assuming that the cars themselves could even handle operating without the trims. As it stands, the +/- G's experienced are on the boundaries of what the AVERAGE theme park visiting human can cope with. Rossa is a monster of a coaster, and certainly one of the best in the world, if you've never ridden it, believe me when I tell you that it is quite impossible to describe. The trim at the top of the first hill is an absolute necessity and only really noticeable if you are in the first car (I have ridden it in every seat a couple of times now). If you were there when it was tested (with the trims engaged), you would know precisely what I am talking about. BeemerBoy was spot on when he said.
Regarding Air Time on FR- There's plenty. I would sit in the back seats for the best experience of that though, it is VERY noticeable.
That's all from me for now
