Ferrari World Discussion Thread

It's been a while since I heard anything about the Dynamics SFX coaster being built here. Any updates?

 

Good question. That coaster seems to be shrouded in mystery. There's not even a POV of the layout or anything...

[dcxs]

Thanks, we will probably do most attractions, we just have limited time and I dont mind doing Flying Ace 10 times

 

According to this site it looks like SFX coaster is testing at least. Inexperienced manufactures always seem like a bad idea to me, 2+ years delay?

It’s a prototype for the most innovative coaster ever attempted. Should we be surprised?

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I have posted here, but there's a chance I'll have a pretty unique opportunity coming up, so thought I would log in to ask your opinion:

 

There's a chance I might be able to visit Ferrari World on the way home from an upcoming business trip to India (I'm flying through Dubai and could potentially change my flight to give myself a full day there). I'm thinking of either spending the day exploring the city, or heading out to check out Ferrari World. I know a day is WAY to short to experience all Dubai has to offer, so I'm hoping to make a longer trip in the next few years.

 

The thing is, I'm roughly 6' 5" (not sure my exact measurement), so would be right on the line of the 195 cm max height restriction for the roller coasters there. Do you all know how strictly those measurements are taken, if they include shoes, and how likely that would be to cause an issue? I have no problem at all fitting into MF or TTD, which have the same restraints as FR, so I think park policy would be the only issue. (Of course, I know nothing is guaranteed with record breaking Intamins)

 

Thanks a ton for your help! I'm sure this will be a great trip whether I head to Ferrari World or not

Hi. I’m going on Wednesday so will ask them and let you know.

^Thank you so much!

I don't remember how strictly they enforced the max height while I was there.

 

I would recommend taking a look at the 1 day 2 park pass though. Flying Aces and Formula Rossa are the two best rides in Dubai, but Warner Bros. World is literally across the street and easily Dubai's best park.

I am 193cm and they checked me each time for formula rossa and flying aces.

Dynamic Attractions isn't inexperienced though.

The apocalypse has happened.  Mission Ferrari is finally testing!

I'm not sure if we can link the video I'm seeing going around Instagram, but it's there if you search for it.

They were beaten to the punch by Guardians, it seems.

[SharkTums]

Curious to see this actually open and run. 

[Nrthwnd]

Please explain ..... 5D?

No really, I'd like to know some kind (any kind) of an explanation that fits.

They give you a snack to eat on the ride to get your 5th sense activated?

If you haven't seen a POV yet, it's a pretty unique ride.  Seems more like something that would be at Universal or Disney.

While I don't disagree... It doesn't feel like any part of it was so revolutionary that it required eight years to open.

Agreed.

i heard, however, that the ride was ready to open around late 2019/ early 2020 but COVID pushed that date back 3 years…

And while that may be true... What about what the ride actually is justifies the other five years of development?
