Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
Quote:
The facility will be the world’s largest indoor park and will be located on Yas Island about 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi’s airport.
The world’s fastest roller coaster emulating the feel of a Formula 1 car will be on hand, as will a G-force simulator and various racing simulators to give ordinary civilians the feel of a Formula 1 vehicle.

I think it's pretty damn stupid, but I am slightly jealous.

This is the sort of things allowing Ferrari to say "we are going to organize our own racing series".

It's stupid, but if I had the money I would still go.

Well, from a design point of view. That structure is quite neat looking, i must say.

And if they have the money, i can't see why not.

I'm sure Abu Dabi is throwing plenty of money at it...it's a tourist attraction.

Yeah, I know, there's only so many rich people with Ferraris who would like to go.

And after a while, when everyone's gone, who else would want to go?

Stupid idea, IMO.
