The story of Formula Rossa

Formula Rossa opened to the public on 4 November 2010, as Ferrari World Abu Dhabi welcomed visitors on Yas Island. guinnessworldrecords.com· ferrari.com

Intamin built the ride as an Accelerator Coaster, combining a great steel structure with a launch of remarkable force and a fifty-two-metre rise. coasterpedia.net· intamin.com

Visitors are issued protective goggles, a sensible provision for a railway that runs at very high speed in the desert air of Abu Dhabi. ferrariworldabudhabi.com· coasterpedia.net

At its opening, Formula Rossa took the world's fastest roller-coaster record, reaching 240 kilometres per hour and giving Ferrari World a distinguished first chapter. guinnessworldrecords.com· intamin.com
