If U ever go 2 Dhabi, MUST check out Ferrari World

At Ferrari World, F1 fans can experience the rush of the race

Park in Abu Dhabi is a grander version of tourist destination envisioned for Austin.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi features the Formula Rossa roller coaster, above, which is designed to resemble stretched-out Ferrari Formula One race cars. It accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in two seconds and reaches its top speed three seconds later.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The sounds coming out of him as his body traveled 150 mph were unreal.

"It was just weird, but I just couldn't help it," said Cory Ryan, a Canadian engineer who works for Schlumberger. "I'm sure people around me thought I was getting sick."

Ryan had just ridden the Formula Rossa, billed as the world's fastest roller coaster and a star attraction at the newly opened Ferrari World Abu Dhabi theme park, adjacent to its new Formula One racetrack. The coaster, designed to resemble stretched-out Ferrari Formula One race cars, accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in two seconds and reaches its top speed three seconds later.
