The project will be based themed around the prestigious and renowned Ferrari brand. His Highness Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Jean Todt, General Manager Ferrari, Mr Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, Chairman ALDAR Properties, His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nayhan, Chairman Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority. The development will provide entertainment for the whole family and the initial concept envisages a race track, numerous rides and attractions, an opportunity to allow visitors to learn the story and history of Ferrari, to participate in Ferrari motoring activities, and to experience the Ferrari brand also through virtual simulations. Another important feature of the facility will be an advanced and sophisticated circuit where tests and driving courses will be organized, as well as races. The concept will also include hotels, retail, residential and hospitality elements embracing the design ethics of the Ferrari brand. ALDAR's Chairman Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh said: "Mubadala Development company's purchase of Ferrari shares earlier this year allowed ALDAR an opportunity to forge a relationship with one of the world's leading brands." Mr Al Sayeghadded: "we have commenced our design program, so that we can launch the development to the world very early next year. The development will then be constructed on a fast track program, targeting a public opening in 2008." Ferrari's General Manager Jean Todt said: "The site will be an important attraction for fans and car lovers worldwide, whilst the structures for sporting and driving activities will have a special appeal for all Ferrari enthusiasts and drivers". http://www.gowealthy.com/realestate/news/620/detail.asp Link above for the article.

MARK Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 It'd be cool if they got the fastest, (probably not the tallest; I don't think it fits with the racing theme) caoster in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jack Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Don't get me wrong...but there is only so much you can revolve around a racing theme. Hotels themed to Ferrari's, restaurant's themed to Ferrari's, attractions themed to Ferrari's, etc. It will become a little repititous, however they have the money to make it outstanding. If you think about it this way, if they split the theme park into sections or "lands" or different time eras. Ferrari and the world in the 20's, the 60's, the future, etc. Should be interesting...and I believe the article said open by 2008! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 It'd be cool if they got the fastest, (probably not the tallest; I don't think it fits with the racing theme) caoster in the world. ttd??? also, how would they make the fastest coaster without making it tall? and, not every new theme park is going to have coasters!

Scaparri Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 That is awesome! For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge race fan (I often incorporate amusement parks with races) so this along with the previously announced F1 park are just the neatest things to me.

dubaidave Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 sounds great, but why Abu Dhabi, its not exactly the nicest place in the UAE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 It'd be cool if they got the fastest, (probably not the tallest; I don't think it fits with the racing theme) caoster in the world. also, how would they make the fastest coaster without making it tall? Make it launched? Dodonpa was the fastest for a long time, but wasn't the tallest. Personally I'd LOVE to see somethin like Rita just much bigger and faster! Does this park get a coaster? Maybe. Chances are pretty good I'd say. Or at least a very fast ride. But only Ferrari? I think I'm gonna see too much red there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastered Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 When Ferrari is serieus. I think This will be the first coaster in the park. The new Maurer Sohne launched coaster, with x-car coaches. Here are some pics from that coaster. As you see, the coaches are already Ferrari F1 themed. But they are missing the big rear wing and the wheels, just like TTD had in the begining. And the station could have a paddock theming. But on the Maurer Sohne website, i can't find any info on that launched coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 My reply: WTF?! There's already a Pokemon themed park, I think that fills that quota. Even though, those launch coaster cars look pretty bad-ass. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cool Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 That is freaking bad ass!! Hope they will have Ferraris placed around the park!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Wow, wonder how expensive it would be to get into this park, considering it costs $10 just to LOOK at a bunch of Ferrari's in a showroom at the Wynn in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never intended to be more than a temporary park, and the large vacant lot near Nagoya station will never be the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 The Ferrari Park thing sounds not bad and if they really build the coaster, then it must be really cool there! --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think a Ferrari Park is a great idea! I just hope that the price of admission to the park isn't based on the price of Ferraris! The Ferrari coaster looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think personally someone has been very creative with photo-chop & that Ferrari X-car is 'non official'. I know it's an artists impression anyway but theres just something 'wrong' with it. I love F1 & Ferrari, So I'll be going for sure if it ever happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeemerBoy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Bump. This topic's been dead for a while, and this is somewhat old news, but here's the latest info I stumbled upon concerning the park. Evidently, ground has been broken and construction has begun. Here's the latest look at the proposed park (mmm, just listening to the start of the video grabs my attention), and here's an article. Considering all the other talk of stuff supposedly being built over there, I'm not sold yet, but it *might* work out....who knows? Just thought the car lovers might enjoy. About midway through the video is mention (animation) of the propsed dual track racing coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 As long as it has a Aquatrax themed to the F40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
