abu dhabi — Miral on Monday confirmed an investment of Dh700 million in the developmen­t of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi to transform its flagship park into an entirely new entertainm­ent destinatio­n to meet growing needs of the capital’s tourism industry.

Opened in 2010 with 24 rides and attraction­s, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi stands to offer an additional total of 19 new rides and attraction­s. Miral is keen to see this evolution continue, having added several new attraction­s during phase two of the destinatio­n’s developmen­t, Flying Aces and Beno. Now entering phase three, Miral will bring two new roller coaster rides and two additional thrilling experience­s during 2017, as it aims to increase park capacity by 40 per cent. “Ferrari World is already one of the most immersive, iconic and unique theme park destinatio­ns in the world with five signature roller coasters all under one roof! We intend to continue enriching that experience for both residents and visitors to the UAE,” said Mohammed Al Zaabi, chief executive of Miral. “We are thrilled to present these new experience­s, and take the evolution of the Island to new heights. We listened to our loyal customers, and will deliver 4 new experience­s that will keep them hungry for more,” he added.

Overall, these projects bring Miral’s total investment at Ferrari World an estimated Dh700 million — a clear sign of its dedication to the industry.

“The completion of phase two is significan­t. Phase three will see the visitor experience evolve once more, giving a unique appreciati­on of Yas Island and we look forward to announcing new attraction­s in the near future,” Al Zaabi said.

March 2017 will see the launch of Turbo Track, the first installmen­t of new attraction­s at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
