Located just across from Iran, the nearly-completed Ferrari World Theme Park sits on Abu Dhabi's largest natural island. In addition to the "usual" theme park rides, it will host this year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Work only began on the 4,200 acre facility in November, 2007, but as things have a way of doing in the UAE, work is progressing incredibly rapidly. Ferrari World is scheduled for completion this November. Hit next to find out what to expect from "Ferrari World" and a shot-by-shot look at the build process from Sarlacc pit-like sand trap to prancing stallion princess castle!
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi will be the world's first Ferrari theme park. Tuesday we showed you its roller coaster. But today we saw the whole building. Frankly, we're now scared. It's obviously not a theme park, it's a Cylon baseship.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, set to open later this year, is the world's first Ferrari theme park as well as the world's largest indoor park. Its sleek red roof is supposedly directly inspired by the classic double curve side profile of the Ferrari GT body, spanning 200,000 sq meters (2,152,782 sq ft) and carrying the largest Ferrari logo ever created.
It also, after looking at it in the artist's concept (above) and in Google Maps satellite (below), looks like they're building a Cylon ship (way below) — something we didn't notice when we saw a more oblique look at the concept drawing exterior last year. We're not saying the designers stole the look from Battlestar Galactica, but if they didn't we suddenly have become very afraid for humanity.
