Ferrari World Yas Island: A Record-Breaking Roller Coaster Coming Soon to the UAE
Yas Island is already one of the most visited entertainment precincts in the UAE, and soon it will get even more thrilling. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has announced plans to add a new “record-breaking” roller coaster as part of a broader expansion of attractions across Yas Island. The ride is expected to set four global records, making it a signature addition for thrill-seekers and reinforcing the emirate’s reputation for extraordinary theme-park innovation.
While details are still emerging, what is known is that the ride will be “significant and signature,” surpassing current thrill-ride standards in speed, height, or other ride metrics. Miral, which operates several of Yas Island’s attractions, also intends to add signature rides to Warner Bros. World in addition to this new coaster. The broader context matters: Yas Island had over 38 million visitors in the last year, with theme-park visitation growing around 10% annually. Hotel occupancy has risen to around 82%, and as demand increases, the average stay length and daily rates are also climbing.
For visitors to the UAE, the new ride promises more than just a rush of adrenaline. Ferrari World has long been a draw because it combines speed with immersive theming, luxury hospitality, and family-friendly amenities. By introducing a coaster with multiple world-records, the park is likely to attract roller coaster enthusiasts globally, potentially increasing international tourist numbers to Abu Dhabi. It also underscores how the UAE is leaning into experiential tourism creating attractions that are not only visually impressive but technically exceptional.
The impact will ripple beyond Ferrari World itself. Moderate ride additions at Warner Bros. World, and possibly other parks nearby, will broaden Yas Island’s entertainment cluster; more visitors means demand for hotels, restaurants, and transport will also increase. For UAE travellers, weekend and holiday planning could increasingly include an extra day in Abu Dhabi just to try the new coaster. And for locals, this means more variety and more reasons to explore what their home emirate has to offer. As construction begins and details emerge, Ferrari World’s upcoming ride stands as a beacon of architectural creativity, ride engineering, and cultural ambition reinforcing the UAE’s position as a leader in theme park innovation.
