Ferrari is developing what may be the new “end all, be all” of automotive adventure — the Ferrari Theme Park, scheduled to open in 2009 on Yas Island, just a 30-minute drive from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The $40 million project promises to offer up everything from roller coasters to a pit-lane team experience, go-karts, virtual reality racing simulators, a racing school, and a g-force simulator that helps laypeople experience the forces felt by race car drivers. An interactive museum will also be at hand, particularly useful for cooling off and waiting for your raging endorphins to ebb.
In addition to the park being a sweet tourist destination for gearheads, the economic benefit will be a great perk for Abu Dhabi, which is currently trying to lessen its economic dependence upon the oil business.

I Tell ya what I recently talked with someone who interviewed the founder of chic-fil-a and he asked the founder what makes you different then everyone? the founder said “stop planning!”" Know the end goal and find a way to get there.” That just what this drive was .We planned the destination and found a way to get there successfully! This was a great drive with great cars and great people! I cant ask for more then that!
More pics can be found Here, Here and more Here.
Keep it Tuned,
