rosscoe Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Spent Sunday afternoon at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. Insanely hot and the park was basically empty. Overall it was a fun five hours, V12 and GFORCE where both down for the day! V12 has been down for the last month or more. Formula Rossa was a fun ride and seemed to get faster as the day went into night, the launch was great, sadly I think it hit a set of trims at the top of the hill that slowed it down. I think if they killed the hill and left it fast and as close to the ground as possible it would have been a top ten coaster, but having rode I305 last year that was a way better coaster IMO and riding I305 in a rain storm was kick ass. Fiorano GT Challenge was a lot of fun as well, nothing earth shattering. Overall I am glad i went, would I rush back, not really! The biggest problem I had with the park was, with the amount of money spent. Nothing really pushed the boundaries of ride technology. View from the hotel Packed Have ticket, park map, ready to tackle the crowds! This was busier than I thought it would be! If I cared about cars, this would be something special The main reason for being here Test seat Busy Over the top Edited August 16, 2011 by rosscoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosscoe Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 This is rather photo heavy. Still closed, I think this is month number three Closed as well For an extra 75 AED you can Experience the ultimate state-of-the-art racing simulations or if you are cheap, go with the ones that don't cost extra....somewhat smaller ( where have I heard that before! ) Oh my Is that I a line I see Nerd shot one Somehow I managed to win my race, now for those who don't know me, this is an outstanding result. Cause most of the time I am an idiot when it comes to driving games. I spent most of the time stuck against the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuso Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 So it was 48 degrees the day you visited, and FR was still working? Maybe it can take all the heat Abu Dhabi can deliver. Although, to humans, the difference between 40 and 50 C is quite intense, on an absolute scale, it's not much, so metal shouldn't care a whole lot. As long as they increase the water sprays to account for evaporation. I just don't see this park lasting for very long. Saturday is still the weekend too. I can only imagine what a Tuesday is like there. Hell, they may only get a few hundred turnstyle clicks. RO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Nothing like a drive in the Italian country side. Now if I knew anything about Italy, I could tell you what this is... So I am going to say it's a scale model building! A scale model of the hotel at Universal Orlando! Yay...river rapids A lake in Italy, I think it's called Rigoletto or is that an opera or a pasta dish? The staff out numbered the paying guest The home of the Von Trapp family Italys famous mount boob Saw the real one of this in Vegas last week Taking the tunnel Screw you Six Flags, this tunnel is blue A part of blue man group! I can see the light Ferrari's new boxes of light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
