Formula Rossa - World's Fastest Roller Coaster

The new roller coaster to open at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi is currently the world's fastest. You can get a first glimpse of the ride in this video.



Is it just me, or is the ride is a little bit boring? One can't tell how thrilling something is on a video, and one certainly do not get a sense of speed through something like this. The launch is supposed to top of at 150 mph, but I think because of the expanse of the surrounding area, you don't get a sense of speed. I guess they designed it without thinking of "theming", or using some sort of psychology or optical perspective to make the ride FEELS fast. I think they need to learn from Disney who knows how to squeeze every last drop (and penny) out of ride.

The March of the Peabody Ducks

Ah, to be pampered as these ducks.



I wonder if they get eaten when they get old? :)
