When it opens next year, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, will be among the
first of a number of high-profile theme parks planned for the UAE.
(Many United Arab Emirates park projects are in limbo or have fizzled
amid the world's economic tailspin.) Among its 20-plus attractions,
the hybrid Epcot-type pavilion/Six Flags-type amusement park/corporate
hospitality center will feature the F1 Coaster (tentative name), which
the park claims will be able to reach 150 mph--yikes!--and lay claim
to the world's fastest coaster crown. But, officials from the park
have also stated that they may operate the coaster at slower speeds.

Hmm. Slower than 135 mph? That's the speed that ring racer (sic) is
supposed to hit when it opens next year. (The German coaster was
supposed to open in 2009. However, the few days it operated, it never
reached record-breaking speeds, and its grand debut reboot is now
scheduled for 2010.) So, which coaster will earn world-record bragging
rights? Read more about Ferrari World's F1 Coaster and its other
attractions in the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Preview.
