Looks to be an interesting little park. They have several interesting dark rides complete with a new version of Soarin'. And I am curious about the "World's Fastest Coaster".

Well, I guess you could fly past Italy to see Italy in Abu Dhabi...or you could just go to Italy.

Seriously though, some of those attractions do look pretty interesting.

I think my favorite caption for the video was "Travel through twelve cylinders of wonder." Now if that doesn't sound like fun, I don't know what does. I'm sure it will be a big hit with people who are really into Ferraris and that kind of racing, but even with a mild interest in Indy Car racing in the US, I really am not interested in this at all.

The rides all look fun enough (I'm particularly interested to see how their Soarin' copy works out), but there just doesn't seem to be enough variety in theme to get me excited about it. And the building appears to be super modern (which makes sense with the Ferrari stuff), but it will look dated in a few years, and looks bizarre with the models of old Italian landmarks. I also have to wonder what the acoustics will be like in there.

If I'm ever in Abu Dhabi, I might have to stop by to check it out, but since that's nowhere near ever happening, I can't say that I'll be too sad about missing out on it.

Luigi: "Do you know any Ferraris?"
McQueen: "No I don't. They mainly race in the European events, and in Abu Dhabi"
I guess "Carsland" is opening earlier than we thought.

There's going to be an F1 race there, so it's not a stand-alone thing not related to anything else. On a related note, they just opened the wolrd's largest Ferrari store in Dubai.
