A 6 minute video preview of the theme park. Including the roller coasters and something that looks like Disney's Soarin

Enjoy

That looks good. I thought that they had cut the budget for this.

Pufferfish · April 20, 2009

Is it just me, or at the end, did it show 3 coasters? 4 if you count the racers as 2. It would be nice to find out what coasters these are. From the animation, the f1 coaster definitely looks Intamin. This park looks pretty nice, just wish they would have built it closer to me.

Lol, I love the concept vs. reality.

Yeah, if this weren't Dubia I'd be giggling at the audacity of it all, but even now the idea that this project will get completed seems doubtful with Dubia something like 80% empty. Just construction workers and a handful of billionaires left. That oil money won't flow in for that much longer, though I guess it will pick up again for a few more years.

I'm just wondering how much steel it would take to build that thing. That roof will/would be a nightmare to maintain.

^^ I found two coasters (three if you count the racers as two).

^ I thought that Dubai had virtually no oil and was getting all its revenue from tourism.

For those who haven't seen the update elsewhere

2 coasters are already vertical

The Premier Launched coaster is HUGE. those curves but MF to shame, hopefully it will be going round those at quite a pace.

The Maurer racers are going up too and look suitably twisted.

Nosferatu · May 10, 2009

I'm anxious to see that launch speed of that Premier coaster. With those large turns it should have quite a high speed. It also seems to be pretty long, especially when you compare those (presumably) final hills with the first. (Unless there is some heavy braking midway).

It's diffucilt to get a good sense of the Maurer coaster, but judging from what I've heard it should be pretty spectacular.

The size of that central building is just huge. Just look at the banner! I'm looking forward to seeing more Seems like I might have to go to the Emirates in a few years

they say that this is going to be the new fastest rollercoaster in the world..

hobbit · May 12, 2009

is this the train?

updates ?

netdvn · May 12, 2009

^ That's the generic Maurer Sohne X-Car launch train, so it probably is...

I'm not sure if Ferrari World's new launch coaster will beat out Ring Racer for the fastest coaster in the world. Do you have the new Ferrari coaster's speed stats?

hobbit · May 12, 2009

that second picture is a Maurer Söhne LSM ride.

but i think that, that will be a twin rollercoaster:

check this out: http://www.rcdb.com/m/id4245.htm

i cant find the speed stats of the rollercoasters.

but they are saying that is will be the fastest rollercoaster in the world.

they always say that it will be the biggest/ fastest/ highest rollercoaster in the world when they build it....

if i have more updates i will place it here...

netdvn · May 12, 2009

Ring Racer is 134 mph (217 kph), so they're gonna have to beat that next year. Their statement could be an exaggeration though.

It looks pretty fun though.

KDCOASTERFAN · June 12, 2009

Sorry if this is a bit off topic but KD just recieved a shipment of red track that looks an awful lot like the white coaster shown in the pics with a double virtical spine.Is this a premier launcher or a standard mega?

vacoaster · June 12, 2009

^ The f1 coaster in this forum is a launched coaster slated to be the worlds fastest when it opens

Kooky · June 17, 2009

you can find nice NEW pics from Ferrari World and the coaster on http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?p=720660#720660

Airtime&Gravity · June 17, 2009

Wow, that looks like it should be one good coaster, although I doubt it will hold the speed record. Since the track is high stress track from Intamin, I'm assuming that the wide turns should have some good g-forces, and hopefully there is a lot of airtime on all those hills.
