Image Released: Ferrari World has released an image of the cars for the dual launched GT coaster named Emotion Coaster
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has been under construction for two years now, and is finally set to open its doors to the public sometime later in 2010 around the same time as the second Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. And when it does, it will not only be the first theme park in the region, but the first of its kind in the world. Recently, Ferrari World has released an image of the Emotion Coaster, a Ferrari F430 Spider themed, twin tracked rolling coaster cars which each hold four passengers and will run on tracks parallel to another car, effectively “racing” it around the nearly-completed Ferrari World theme park in Abu Dhabi.
The twin tracks of Emotion Coaster will be fairly unbanked like a road would be. (You don’t find many roads banked at 45 degrees.) The result will be an awesome experience full of lateral G forces and fun Ferrari action. The tracks have a few strategically placed LSM boosters so that the two trains will constantly pass and overtake each other for a truly exciting racing experience.
As with almost everything Dubai does, this park will be breaking some records. Ferrari World will be the largest indoor theme park in the world when it opens. It also will feature the fastest roller coaster in the world, the F1.
The Emotion Coaster and the F1 will depart from inside the air-conditioned red dome of the park before flying into the hot desert air outside.
The park claims about the F1, “… the coaster is capable of 150 miles per hour, but may be operated at lower speeds.” This can mean two things:
A. The coaster will be a record breaker or…
B. The coaster will follow the same path as Ring Racer and not fulfill the claims that were originally made (and consequently let us down).
Ferrari World will feature about 20 rides including the F1 coaster. Other attractions include: A flume ride through a massive Ferrari engine, a 203 foot tall drop tower ride in the center of the park, racing simulators, a 4D theater, a double tracked LSM launched racing coaster, several go cart tracks, and an aerial simulation ride similar to Walt Disney World’s Soarin’ where riders trail a Ferrari through Italy. Ferrari World will also house several places to shop and dine as well as driving schools for junior drivers and training for experts.
