Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the world’s first Ferrari theme park and largest attraction of its kind, offers more than 20 Ferrari-inspired rides and attractions, including a diverse array of rides for adults and children, a wide variety of Italian delicacies, and unique shopping experiences. Italian car brand Ferrari’s key principles of excellence and technological innovation underpin every aspect of the theme park from the early stages of conceptualization and design and through to the development and completion. The three pointed star shape forms the basis of the entertainment centre.

At the centre of the landmark Yas Island mega-scheme in Abu Dhabi, sits Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, which is designed as a multi-sensory celebration of a design icon. Externally the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi building expresses the language and values of Ferrari itself. Benoy has been successful in creating a building that reflects Ferrari’s sinuous form. The design is directly inspired by the classic double curve side profile of the Ferrari GT chassis. The double curve was proportionately applied in elevation to set the structure’s length and height. This proportion gave rise to the dynamic scale of the building at 700m from tip to tip of the tri-forms.

The metal skin roof is highly insulated and the main façades utilise highly efficient glass to reduce thermal loads and glare. The roof houses no Ferrari World Abu Dhabi plant or equipment and provides the back drop to a huge Ferrari logo that will welcome all passengers flying into Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Internally, a collection of over 20 high octane attractions are featured. The focal attraction is the 60m-high ‘G-Force Tower’ – one of the most intense ‘freefall’ experiences in the world. Several roller coasters provide adrenalin raising theme, including the world’s fastest, reaching speeds in excess of 200kph.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is owned by Abu Dhabi-based property development, management and investment company Aldar Properties.

The new iconic landmark leisure destination reflects both the integrity of the Ferrari brand and the ambitions of Abu Dhabi.
