Ferrari World Abu Dhabi launches Roof Walk and Zip Line experiences

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has launched two new experiences to celebrate the attraction's 10th anniversary.

The Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Roof Walk experience allows guests to scale the Park's signature red roof and take in spectacular vista views of Abu Dhabi's Yas Island.

Meanwhile, the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Zip Line will see guests "zip" from the heart of Ferrari World through the Flying Aces roller coaster loop. Two guests can even gear up for the dual racing challenge for an added thrill to the unparalleled adventure.

The launch of the new experiences is part of the park's 10th anniversary celebrations, which saw Yas Island's other theme parks and attractions – including Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi and CLYMB Abu Dhabi – illuminated in the famou Ferrari red in honour of the milestone.

To allow guests to enjoy the new experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, Ferrari World has worked alongside the relevant authorities to implement stringent precautionary measures throughout the park – including mandatory online booking to ensure that a limited capacity is adhered to.

Measures also include thermal screening cameras, safe distance markers at all rides and outlets, modified ride capacity as well as modified dining and shopping experiences.

As a direct result of its efforts, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi was awarded the 'Go Safe' certification by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi).

"The new openings reflect on a decade of achievements, record-breaking rides and attractions, and priceless memories with guests from across the globe," Bianca Sammut, G

general manager at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and acting head of Yas Theme Parks.

"This is a milestone we at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi are incredibly proud to witness and be part of; it's the perfect way to usher in a new decade of delivering the Ferrari feeling."

Owned by Miral Asset Management and operated by Farah Experiences, Ferrari World opened in 2010 and features a number of indoor and outdoor attractions – including four large roller coasters.
