Meta review

The amusement park is quite well known internationally and heavily advertised. Barring the large volume of obvious fake reviews, opinions from visitors are quite mixed. The rides themselves gets the thumbs up, Formula Rossa in particular, but the waiting time coupled to the high entry price are for many too much of a drawback. There are also a few negative comments such as the air conditioning being too strong and the relentless commercial aspect park.

Environmental & Social

Theme parks entail large construction projects and high running energy requirements as well as waste. In the case of Ferrari World this is compounded by the massive aluminium roof and the use of air conditioning throughout. Construction projects in the middle east also involve heavy use of foreign labours under often difficult conditions.

Conclusion

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has one spectacular ride and a couple of excellent ones but that alone can't justify its entry price, especially if you need to tack on an express pass to shorten the waiting times. This means that, unless you don't mind shelling out large sums of money or spend most of your day waiting, there are more interesting activities out there.
