About Ferrari World Yas Island

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi sits on Yas Island beneath a huge red roof carrying the world's largest Ferrari logo. Inside, an air-conditioned park mixes thrill rides, family attractions, simulators and racing history, all themed around Italian speed and design.

It opened in November 2010 as the first Ferrari-branded theme park in the world, close to the Yas Marina Circuit, home of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Its star ride is Formula Rossa, which launches riders to 240 km/h (149 mph) in under five seconds, making it the world's fastest roller coaster. With more than 20 rides and attractions fully indoors, the park works in any season, including the hot summer months.
