Ferrari World Abu Dhabi will open its long-awaited Mission Ferrari 'mega coaster' on 12 January 2023.

Describing it as the "world's most immersive" ride, the high-intensity and multisensory 5D rollercoaster experience includes the world's first sideways coaster drop.

The Ferrari-themed attraction combines the latest coaster technology with scenic show sets, an inverted loop and a range of special effects.

Designed and built by Dynamic Attractions, the ride will feature six cars with riders arranged five across in two rows for a total of 10 riders per car. The track for the dark ride was built by Qiguang Group.

Deana Taylor, general manager at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, said: "We're very excited to unveil Mission Ferrari to the world.

"Fans are in for a truly memorable experience with a combination of immersive ride media and an exhilarating rollercoaster track that is unlike anything else in the region.

"We can't wait for our guests to try it and create unforgettable memories at our Ferrari-inspired Park."

Launched 12 years ago, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is located on Yas Island and houses a variety of family-friendly rides and attractions.
