dubaidave Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Here's a trip report from FWAD from a visit I did on 4th September. This is likely to be the last trip I do for a while as my annual pass will expire soon and I can afford to replace it just yet. This was also the last day of the school holidays and it was nice to see that the park was quiet busy. I also visited later than I would normally do so got to see the La Gara show for the fist time. Formula Rossa was down at the time (it is now running again) so a lot of the other attractions were very busy. V12 was open again and has really effective air cannons added along the route. The Racing Legends has had real rain added to the rain section. Made in Marinelo had all the heat and wind effect working . Speed of magic seemed to be running better with more movement and slightly better sync than before and added smoke effects. Fioranno GT Challenge has opened a smoking area where you can see most of the track from. Overall it was a very good day. It was nice to see so many people there and that they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Yes, rossa was down, but the GP there didn't seem to mind all that much at all. I had to Take the tunnel Hi Rossa, Wont be riding you today but you are still looking good. I have never seen the car park this busy everything is looking nice and clean and new even though its nearly a year since it was opened. Signature Shot this board is nice and clear so you know exactly whats running before you part with any money. it still takes my breath away when I enter this huge place. V12 is open, lets head there first. you now get given disposable ponchos The ride was running with slightly less water which made for a much drier and slightly smoother ride. And then we got stuck! The staff were very helpful and did a great job of reassuring the public and in getting the boats moving again and we got stuck in the cheese grater all the effects were working well this time they even gave out VIP exit passes. Good work FWAD Lets check out the smoking area Nice if you smoke or want to see the coaster See how busy it is? I have never been in this shop before Its not just a shop! it has some nice displays as well

Anything Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Looks like a fantastic place. I hope to go someday, but it's unlikely.
Rastuso Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Any news on why FR was down? I still think FR IS the park. Although I do wish V12 had been open on my visits. -R
braztaz Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Ferrari World looks absolutely amazing! Nice Photo TR!
QueerRudie Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 The more I see of this, the more I want to go to Dubai... Indoor complex type parks are fascinating, and it almost looks like they got this one right.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Great TR! This looks like a beautiful park. Crossing my fingers that I'll get to visit here someday!
dubaidave Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Any news on why FR was down? I still think FR IS the park. Although I do wish V12 had been open on my visits. -R The guy at the entrance said something about them needing 5 new motors but only 3 arrived or something. It is running now though Dubaidave
gisco Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Nice look ahead for the TPR trip there next year!
krazekiddd Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The more I see of this, the more I want to go to Dubai... Indoor complex type parks are fascinating, and it almost looks like they got this one right. Same! All these new places and coasters that have opened make me really wish I could visit everything. I'm pretty much booking a TPR trip somewhere outside the US for at least the next several years to check these places out.
