If you’re all set for your great Ferrari World adventure, buckle up and read on. Here are some insider tips to help you make the most of your trip.

Planning Your Visit

Doing the following will help to ensure a smooth, seamless park experience.

• Timing: Visit on weekdays when the theme park is less crowded. Be there as early as possible, even before the park doors open. Ferrari World usually opens at 11 a.m. If you do this, you’ll deal with shorter queues and enjoy more rides.
• Tickets: Purchase your tickets on the Ferrari World website, and do so ahead of time so you won’t have to queue at the ticket counter. There are also Yas theme park bundles online that will help enhance your park experience.
• Attire: Wear comfortable clothing, and keep your shoulders and knees covered to respect the local culture. A shirt or blouse, trousers, and trainers, loafers, or sneakers are excellent options. You may wear loose robes and dresses, but it’s best to avoid them as they may get caught in rides. Avoid open-toe, open-heel footwear (e.g., sandals), too, as they can fall off.

Maximising Your Enjoyment 

You want to enjoy as many rides and experiences at the park as possible. Doing the following can help:

• The app: Download the Yas Island, Abu Dhabi app. Create an account, register your information (including your picture), add a payment method, and link your Yas Park tickets. Once at Ferrari World, you can scan your FacePass and skip long queues at the entrance. You can also use the app to pay at restaurants for discounts on food and beverage purchases.
• Quick pass: Buy a Quick Pass and use it for access to priority queues. It’s an extra cost, but it will help you spend more time on rides than in queues, especially on busy days.
• Map: Download a map of the theme park onto your phone to easily navigate the park and avoid getting lost and wasting time.
• Route: The park is divided into zones. Plan your route and progress through the park, prioritising your most preferred rides first.

Must-Do, Must-Try 

If you have only a few hours at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, here are four rides and experiences you must try.

• Formula Rossa: It’s the fastest roller coaster in the world – enough said.
• Flying Aces: This has the world’s highest non-inverted roller coaster loop. Your legs hang down freely on this ride, so you’d better be wearing closed footwear when you go on it. You don’t really want your sandals getting loose and falling off from all the excitement.
• Mission Ferrari: Don’t let physics stop you from getting the ultimate roller coaster ride! Mission Ferrari is a multi-sensory, 5D roller coaster experience with backward inverted loops and a sideways coaster drop.
• Roof Walk: The Roof Walk is a sensational experience but a seasonal attraction. If it’s available during your visit, do it. You and other adventurers will walk the park’s red roof and see the world’s biggest Ferrari logo up close.
