Ferrari building a themepark

Quote:
Ferrari theme park planned for Abu Dhabi

Ferrari and Dubai-based property company Aldar Properties have agreed to develop a theme park in Abu Dhabi dedicated to the Ferrari brand.

The project will include a race track, an amusement park, Ferrari sporting events and virtual Ferrari simulations.

The race track is expected to be used for car races, tests and driving lessons.

Hotels, shops and residential areas based on the style and design of the Ferrari brand are also planned.

The park will be in addition to the Formula One World theme park which is set to be built within the MotorCity area of Dubailand.

Sweet.

Formula1 themepark being built there sounds like fun as well. Sounds like automotive heaven.

That and Dubai is investing tons of crazy money to build up themselvs as a major tourist and vacation attraction.

Some crazy projects that they've partaken that i know of. I'm sure there are many more that i don't know about.

*Residential island in the shape of a palm. You can buy a home on there


*Multiple small residential islands shaped in countinents.


*Worlds 3rd largest mall complete with indoor Ski resort and two 5-star hotels


They have excellent beaches and golf resorts. Definitly a place i'd like to hit up someday.

And i've always wanted to visit this hotel for some reason.


But yeah, i guess only Dubai can come up with such crazy ideas as a Formula 1 and Ferrari inspired themeparks complete with ferari and F1 inspired hotels, resturants, etc....

Guess they really want to establish themselves as a place for vacationers, especially those with more wealthy status and am willing to go to the extremes.

You been there?

I don't know if i could afford to stay at it though, but man, i've always wanted to spend a night at that hotel.

Don't plan on getting married for 1.5-2 years, but that's a potential honeymoon spot for me now. Especially if construction for the F1 and Ferrari themeparks are done.

Shit, friend just told me it's like $1,000+ a night for like their cheapest room, and that's for one person :eek.

Looks like i better look elsewhere or save up in advance.

But whether i go there will most likely hinge on whether construction for this is done. Imagine getting driving lessons in an Enzo . Heck, even a F430 would be a dream come true.

dubai is gorgeous. there are a bunch of travel channel specials on dubai. talk about the insanely rich. i believe that hotel is the most expensive in the world. this is where the sheik from cannonball run would stay

The Ferrari themepark is interesting. In fact, all Ferrari corporate decisions are interesting. They arent like other manufactuers who race to help sell cars. They sell cars to finance their racing...

Ferrari themepark... I already can imagine what the rides will be named, The Enzo, The 360 (this is obviously a roller coaster), The F50, Theater de Scuderia...

It's silly in ironic kind of way, those rich Arabs are scary in the way they spend their money... Scarier than rappers and hollywood stars. One oil tycoon from there owns the A1GP, with ZERO sponsorship... That's crazy!! Where does they got their money from??!! I got to buy one of those oil rig

Total costs of one barrel of crude oil from Saudi Arabia to NYC: about $3.50
We pay for that barrel: $50-60
