Get ready! Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is bringing us a brand new breathtaking ( literally ) ride.
Intamin’s latest thrill creation will take you on a VERY fast journey with “zero gravity view” over the huge red roof of this Yas Island theme park.
See short video below, how the ride looks inside the park! The entire track is hidden behind the screen.
Incredible view from the top!
Turbo Track is opening at the end of March and all rollercoaster fans can expect to be catapulted on top of the 64m (210ft) spiral track in just 15sec…and 15sec back!
Track is 180m (590ft) long and launch speed is 102km/h (63 mph)
Ferrari World’s newest ride has capacity over 700 guest per hour.
Turbo Track Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
The attraction features 2 vehicles, each carrying 12 guests at the time and seats will be facing both ways…which means…twice the fun and two different experiences!
Turbo Track is newest addition to park’s ever growing collection of record breaking rides. Formula Rossa & Flying Aces already holds the trophy for fastest ride and tallest loop in the world.
Attractions on Yas Island also includes Yas Waterworld ( open ), Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi ( 2018 ), Clymb ( 2018 ), and the recently announced first marine-life park outside the US, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi (with no Orca’s )!
Travellerczech is just back from Abu Dhabi with some exciting photos from “under the red roof ” of Ferrari World theme park.
While the Winter Festival still running for a few more days, there was no Christmas for the guys on Yas Island as they are working hard to bring us some very exciting new attractions.
The ne attraction is opening on March 27th 2017 !
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is soon looking to launch two “never-done-before” rides as part of its third phase of expansion.
The most visibly progressing attraction and soon to be open is the Turbo Track ride entering the middle glass funnel of the roof structure.
The track reached its highest point
I was wondering how the track will be actually exiting in the outside space, well…very clever solution in a shape of tunnel through the glass wall.
Tunnel from the inside of the park
All the theming and loading station is done and in my opinion slightly reminds of BattleStar Galactica design.
Spiral track structure in the middle is 62m in height and I hope it will give us some exciting zero gravity moments with a speed of 102km/h

The mysterious dark Mission Ferrari SFX coaster still looking the same and no visible changes can be seen from the outside.
Could this be the door to the new ride?
And the 2018 Indoor Warner Brothers Movie Park construction as seen from Ferrari World Entrance…
The theme park, which recently completed the second phase of its expansion plan, aims to boost capacity by 40 per cent. It will offer a total of 38 Ferrari-inspired rides and attractions, up from 30 at present.
FUJI QHIGHLAND is the most famous Japanese theme park with more than 40 attractions to make you scream…guaranteed!!!
Park was open in 1968 and was on my bucket list since 2011, after introduction of Takabisha – world’s steepest coaster.
Takabisha – World’s steepest rollercoaster drop
Fuji Q didn’t gain its fame for unique theming or immaculate landscaping.
Yes, you can see the mighty mount Fuji ( if the moody weather allows ), but the main reason people come here, is to get scared inside huge “haunted attractions”, or scream your heart out on one of the record breaking rides.
View at the parks best rides
The best way how to enjoy the park is to arrive a day before and book into the adjacent Highland resort and spa. You will get priority access to the park and be the first to get your hands on the fast pass tickets (without them you will spend the entire day in the queue)
“Read my Highland Resort & Spa review HERE “
Fuji Q Park has 4 major rollercoasters and many other head spinning, stomach churning rides.
1.Fujiyama :
The legendary King of Coasters is 79 metres tall, 130 km/h steel rollercoaster, opened in 1996 and was once the world’s tallest roller coaster and had the largest drop in the world at 70 m ( 320ft ).
For me, the scariest bit was the slow “click click” lift to the top and see the ground getting lower and lower.
Massive 70-meter drop is fantastic, but the ride gets a bit rickety in places. Well, it’s 20 years old…
You hear only the wind from the top of the lift hill

2.Dodonpa :
Currently the 4th fastest in the world with acceleration of 172 km/h, in 1.8 seconds.
The moment you are being catapulted out of the “petal pipe” is unbelievable and quite violent. It definitely felt more intense than Formula Rossa in Ferrari world.
Dodonpa is frequently ranked in the top 10 best/most extreme/scariest roller coasters in the world .This 55 second ride takes the rider across 1,189 metres (3,901 ft) of steel tracks, and peaks at a maximum height of 42 metres
Interesting detail is the ominous drumming sound that flows from the speakers as passengers wait in line to board the train. This repetitive percussive music is created by taiko drums, an old traditional Japanese drum that was used to fright the enemies.

3.Ejanaika:
76 metres tall, 126 km/h,[5] opened in 2006 and is only the second “4th Dimension roller coaster” ever built (after X² at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California).
The ride is violent, fast, and crazy and I absolutely loved it. It’s the ultimate experience for every rollercoaster fan and “once of a life time” must do ride!
The seats can rotate 360 degrees forward or backward in a controlled spin, allowing Eejanaika to invert 14 different times, even though the actual track inverts only three times.
It surpasses the first built “4th dimension” roller coaster, X², in both, height and speed!
The best ride ever !!!

4.Takabisha:
The main reason of my trip…121° freefall, as well as seven major twists over 1000 metres of track, and a drop of 43 metres!
I went three times in a row, to enjoy the smooth movement through the air, speed and the exceptional drop. The ride starts with a loop in pitch black darkness, before entering the outdoor track with 7 inversions…pure pleasure! ☺
Very enjoyable and smooth ride
