Default Ferrari Theme Park

Originally shelved back in February 2009, it's apparently due to open later this year. It sounds reasonably good fun for dads and kids alike. Not sure about the mums though. Being housed indoors should make it much more attractive. Will probably cost a fortune to enjoy all of the rides and stuff.

Yeah, heard the Brit Ops Director (or whoever) on the wireless yesterday morning, desperately trying to talk it up. No mention of entrance fee, last rumoured to be over 100 quid. He said it would be very popular because of the number of Ferrari owners in Abu Dhabi / Dubai--yeah right, get them to come all together on the same day and their entrance fees will cover the cost of lighting & heating for at least a day.

Still, allegedly fastest rollercoaster in the world. My kids would love it.

That's a bit sexist!...I love Ferrari's but unfortunately can't afford to own one, but I can say I drove one round Silverstone twice : )
Hubby likes them but he's not as crazy about them as me.

I know the entrance prices but better not post them

Been for a nose on site as well and its pretty cool inside.

Interestingly, the differential for adult tickets and kids tickets is defined by height, so if you're under the threshold and its perfectly feasible that you could be as it's 1.5m I think, you can be a child for the day!!!
