Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is a theme park dedicated to the Ferrari brand, set under a vast red roof on Yas Island. It’s home to Formula Rossa, which launches riders to 240 km/h and held the title of the world’s fastest roller coaster for 15 years, plus family rides, driving simulators and exhibits celebrating Ferrari’s racing heritage. Most of the park is indoors and air-conditioned, so it’s a great day out even in the summer heat.
A Roof Built to Match the Brand
Ferrari World’s red roof, shaped to echo the curves of a classic Ferrari GT, is one of the largest of its kind in the world and the most recognisable sight on Yas Island. Beneath it, the park is air-conditioned, so rides, shows and exhibits carry on whatever the weather outside.
The biggest roller coasters break out through the roof and run largely outdoors, which is part of the thrill, and the reason they occasionally pause in strong wind or rain
Formula Rossa: 0 to 240 km/h
Formula Rossa is the ride most people come for. It launches from 0 to 240 km/h in about 4.9 seconds, and riders wear protective goggles because of the speed. When it opened in 2010 it became the fastest roller coaster on Earth, and it kept that record until Falcons Flight opened in Saudi Arabia on 31 December 2025. It’s still one of the fastest and most intense rides anywhere, and a bucket-list ride for thrill-seekers. Minimum height: 1.4 m.
Rides for Every Thrill Level
You don’t have to be a speed fan to enjoy Ferrari World. Rides range from record-breaking coasters to gentle family drives and rides for toddlers.
