Ferrari World Abu Dhabi

Never been but I have seen the ads on television. Weird to see a Ferrari commercial.

 

I would love to go but I wonder what their opinion of American's might be? Some people might blend in but I am afraid I would stick out like a Ferrari in Alabama.

 

.....makes me think of euro-disney :S

I've been not long after they opened. It's a cool place, although a little pricey (300AED). The rides were all right, most of them are really aimed for younger kids, although they all teach a little something about Ferrari history during the rides. Ex. There's a theater with moving chairs which takes you around an F-car's test around the track and town, it's fairly realistic. They have the world's fastest accelerating roller coaster which is very cool but sometimes has a bit of a queue. I'd recommend getting the VIP entrance which allows you to skip to the front, very handy. There was also a very good driving sim, which apparently is used by F1 drivers to practice. It was pretty cool as well, although quite hard to just get in and go.

I really enjoyed the little Ferrari museum they had. The cars they had were an F40, 212 Export, 275GTB4, 166MM, 400 Superamerica and several F1 cars (Prost's '91, Schumacher's '04 and a few others I can't really remember). Pretty sure the collection changes quite frequently though. The hallways are littered with new Ferraris showing different models and options packages which is pretty convenient to see in one place if shopping around. The parking lot was equally impressive, some cool Fcars parked there.
