dubaidave Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I got to ride it today and really enjoyed it. It is fairly unique and a different ride in the forward and rear facing seats. It's exactly what the park needs in that it looks impressive and is thrilling without being too over the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SharkTums Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 ^Exactly. The park already has two world class coasters and one/two 'other' ones. This is a nice replacement for the drop tower.
_koppen Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Been thinking the park needs a good solid family thrill ride. This looks perfect and very unique! If I know Intamin right we will probably see the concept evolved further down the road.
shadox17 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Very impressed with Ferrari World in the past couple years, and this is no exception. Also, rear facing seats are always a plus
Mater Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I have never physically laughed at a coaster before today.
coasterbill Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Did anyone notice the sway on that spike around :25? That's pretty damn cool.
dubaidave Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 It does sway a bit. Love the ride! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
PeoplemoverMatt Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Made the mistake of reading some of the FB comments about this ride... The coherent opinions seemed to center around how "boring" the ride looked. I think people have played too much RCT and think every single ride needs to give near death experiences to every rider every time or it's not worth their time. What I saw at Ferrari World was not a record breaking launch coaster, but a very good middle ground kind of launched coaster. I wish this kind of ride was in more parks to provide a stepping stone to kids and those a bit more skiddish about riding coasters compared to insane coaster nerds. A broader appeal to the general population is a GOOD thing as it should grow the theme park attendance as a whole. Why do the complainers not understand this?

petestrash Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 I rode Formula Rossa and Turbo Track the other day and actually preferred Turbo Track. Yes Formula Rossa is fast, but it's acceleration is not that powerful. It gets up to speed because the launch track is so long, then hitting brakes while still going up the first hill really put me off. I don't know if it was just over hyped and I expected more from it or what, but meh. I expected nothing from Turbo Track and had fun on it, the only complaint was that it's too short. Watching the ride it doesn't seem all that great, but I enjoyed the on ride experience. In fact the ride I liked most in Abu Dhabi/Dubai was Madagascar Mad Pursuit, Though haven't been on Flying Aces as it was closed.
1aflack Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 I can only find one source on-line as the parks website doesn't seem to list it yet but does Turbo Track really have a height restriction of 1.3 meters, the same as Flying aces? I thought Ferrari World could do with a good thrilling family ride and thought this was it but at 1.3 meters it doesnt really fall into that category and seems a shame. The place doesn't have much thrilling to do for kids until they hit 1.3 meters. I guess this place will cater more to thrill seekers where as Warner Bros will be more the family park.

1aflack Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 This is the only source I could find, nothing on the main site.... https://yasisland.ae/turbo-track/ I thought it would be 1.2 meters.
KingRCT3 Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Do we have any news concerning the SFX coaster? Meanwhile, Dynamic Attractions patented the two special elements we'll experience on it. The drawings are nice and detailed, plus we can have a look at the ride's vehicles: Tilt and drop Side drop

I am keeping my eyes and ears to the ground Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If your eyes and ears are to the ground, you won't see or hear anything. And how can you do both at the same time. My eyes and ears are on different places on my head. When my eyes are to the ground, all I see is ground. If I put one ear to the ground then I can see one way or the other depending on which ear is to the ground, and my other ear is straight up facing the sky.

KingRCT3 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 This video from Bloomberg TV has an interesting sequence showing the side-drop element of the SFX. I was wondering how the special track piece would get back to position after the drop, and I'd guessed that there would be some kind of winch... Nada, it's actually launched back in place. Jump at 1:36 in the video.
