Formula One fun: Abu Dhabi's Ferrari World theme park

16/03/2010

Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island packs in an awful lot of excitement. It is already home to the Gulf state’s Formula One circuit and later this year Ferrari World, the world’s largest indoor theme park, is due to open. And while the thrill seekers will delight at the huge number of exciting rides, it is the soaring red roof of the park that will get engineers’ pulses racing.
The form of the Ferrari GT 250 inspires the shiny red, double curvature roof. There are four independent roof structures, a central circular section that dips into a central funnel and three legs or “tri-form arms”, which stretch out equilaterally from the central core, providing shade for the rollercoasters and rides that wind their way out from the main play area.
