Ferrari World UAE

Ferrari World - UAE - home to the worlds fastest roller coaster, "Formula Rossa"! 0 - 240 in 4.9 seconds! It was fantastic! Craig instantly broke out into a sweat and was NOT going back on for another turn, but of course I did! Go karts there were electric and the track was super slippery (apparently called a slide track), so there was a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to slide around the corners. Craig came in second (of course he says he didn't even try to get fastest time) and I came in 4th out of 8! The park is an architectural wonder and it is impressive for sure, but at AED250 pp ($85) it is pretty pricey and the gift shop, forget it! A small sticker costs $5! We had a 2 for 1 entry fee coupon, so it was reasonable. It's not a place you can spend an entire day at, well, maybe with kids or if there are huge lines I guess, but for us, the park was nearly empty! We arrived right before it opened and there were only a couple of dozen people there. Timing couldn't have been more perfect. It's all indoors, so I slathered on all that sunscreen for nothin'!
