Ferrari World: The Ferrari of Amusement Parks

Ferrari World

Ferrari is a worldwide brand synonymous with precision, performance, and unparalleled elegance, and for over a decade, that has included an amusement park built in the tradition of the brand. Located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World opened its gates in 2010 and is a largely indoor amusement park that hosts the world’s fastest roller coaster. Named the “Middle East’s Leading Tourist Attraction” in 2015 and 2016 and the “Middle East’s Leading Theme Park” in 2017 and 2018, Ferrari World is an exquisite experience, proving that wherever Ferrari goes, excellence follows.

Talk Ferrari with Ferrari Lake Forest

We love Ferrari for the decades-long history of elegance and performance their automobiles have brought to the world, but we’re grateful that Ferrari hasn’t kept their style confined to the auto world. There’s a reason people refer to the best of the best being “the Ferrari of” their industry, and Ferrari is the Ferrari of luggage, attire, theme parks, and more.
