| Here is a whole indoor city where little kids could drive Ferrari go karts around. |
 |
| The most awesome thing here, the Formula Rossa roller coaster. This is the world’s fastest roller coaster. It does zero to 160 mph in six seconds, twice as fast as the second fastest roller coaster. In Dubai, they do things twice as big I noticed. |
 |
| The cars look like F1 cars. You have to watch a safety video beforehand and you are instructed to hold your head firmly to the headrest on launch and to not raise your arms. If you sit near the front you have to wear safety goggles. No shit. |
 |
| Tanner Foust, Chris Forsberg, Ken Gushi and Mike Essa look a little nervous waiting in line. The thing kept breaking down and we had to wait about an hour even with our VIP passes where we could skip to the front of the line. The breakdowns were making us worry a bit. We could see from here that the coaster launched real hard. |
 |
| To keep the brakes and wheel system from burning up, the cars had this brake water cooler. The water would cool things down between each run. Pretty serious and scary stuff huh? I didn’t pay attention to the safety brief and was looking around when the thing launched. It launched so hard I beaned my head on the seat which hurt. I have never accelerated so hard in my life which was about the same as a six second dragster we were told. Your mouth gets forced open and your lips flap. You pull so many G’s your eyesight gets a little messed up. This ride could seriously hurt an old person so they would never build such a thing in the USA I bet. It was awesome. The drivers rode it three times but I had a bump on my head and hurt my back so I only did it once. I also wanted to see the rest of the park in the limited time we had. |

| Of course there were plenty of Ferraris of all vintages on display all over. |

 |
 |
| Plenty of Ferraris and Alfas as well. This hardware is priceless and better than what’s on display in Italy I bet! In Dubai they do things twice as good and twice as big as anywhere else. |
 |
| Some of the amazing architecture of the main building. |
 |
| Kids racing on the go kart track. This girl was bumping the heck out of the boy who was blocking her, she reminded me of my daughter Christa. |
