FERRARI WORLD ABU DHABI – FORMULA ROSSA

Formula Rossa is a launched roller coaster located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Manufactured by Intamin, Formula Rossa is the world’s fastest roller coaster with a top speed of 149.1 miles per hour. The coaster train accelerates to its top speed in 4.9 seconds using a hydraulic launch system which generates a release velocity similar to that of steam catapults on an aircraft carrier. Riders experience up to 1.7 G-force during acceleration and up to 4.8 g throughout the ride. The roller coaster track is 1.4 miles in length, ranking it sixth in the world for steel roller coasters. Due to the high air speeds and thus risk of an impact with airborne particulates or insets, all riders are required to wear safety glasses.
