I've been fortunate enough to ride this coaster back in 2014, and I really loved it. The launch is exhilarating and the last airtime hills are great, however the middle of the ride left a bit to be desired. The speed is great, but it felt like it only went fast for the sake of going fast and not really doing anything interesting with it. Also the sense of speed is kinda hampered by the fact that you're essentially in an empty sandy field with no scenery whizzing past you, giving that extra sensation of speed. However that launch alone makes the ride for me, and is the main reason it snugly fits in my Top 5.
I live In Dubai rode it many times but airtime? Not sure I agree.. super fast great launch but definitely nowhere near a top coaster. Not an argument by the way! Just opinion so I respect yours,
The launch alone is absolutely worth the journey to the UAE. Completely agree that the trim brakes barely take away from the ride experience. You're still going so fast that you can't hear yourself screaming until the crest of the third hill. I'm glad you offered some perspective on the back row, because after our front row ride, there was no way we were going to go for any other row.
This summer I rode this once in one of the middle rows. The launch is hard to describe. I have a memory of the rest of the layout, not of the launch itself. The kick is strong but sustained. The sense of speed and the g forces make this coaster. Compared to Flying Aces this is way more graceful. After Rock and Rollercoaster this was a great new record in acceleration.
Awesome review! This is definitely on my bucket list! I think that I would absolutely LOVE this ride because I am a sucker for speed. Are you going to make a top 25 soon?
I'm in the UK so the fastest launch I've experienced is on Stealth at Thorpe Park which does 0-80mph in 1.8 seconds, one of the fastest accelerations on an xcelerator and I must admit it's intense and I love that. Can't imagine how fast this would feel, I hope to get to ride it some day!
Great vid. I love FR but my fav is definitely Flying Aces - that for me is way more enjoyable. Anyone notice the item fly off at the top of the first hill?!!!
I mean, the UNTRIMMED portion is likely faster than Kingda Ka overall. It's like the trim on Maverick - see ElToroRyan to find out the important purpose of the trim
If their options were have a record breaking launch and trim it or not have a record breaking launch, I'm fine with what they did. You still have plenty of speed after.
I've heard this coaster is SBNO as of 1/22/2024 due to unforeseen circumstances meaning Kingda Ka has retained the fastest coaster record and should this ride go, which you would be sad to see it go and the fact I would want to get on it and if I couldn't, I would be sad, there is a faster coaster coming to Saudi Arabia next year.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah i rode it in april of 2019 and it was so amazing. it really does feel like mille and dragster put together, and i grayed out on the first turn
I actually like i in the back just because of the wind in the front. Its just too intense and it makes it hard to enjoy the actually speed, in the back you get blasted by wind still but not as much and you get you enjoy its insane speed.
Do you think 6-7 hours is enough time at Ferrari World for an enthusiast that just wants to ride the coasters multiple times but doesn't really care about the car stuff? I have 3 days in UAE before flying to England and I want to fit all the good amusement parks in those days, so I have to cut down on time at each park.
Ferrari World has a skip-the-line pass is absolutely necessary, but lines were pretty much non-existent when I was there. Formula Rossa maxed out at a 20 minute wait (weekday in February, 1 train ops). All the coasters can comfortably be done in six hours with rerides. Make sure to visit WB World across the street. The coaster lineup is nothing special, but the theming and dark rides there are Disney quality.
@@CanobieCoaster Ok thank you! I'm planning on doing these parks on these days: Day 1: Fun Works, Ferrari World, IMG Worlds of Adventure Day 2: Bollywood Parks Dubai, Legoland Dubai, Motiongate Day 3: Warner Bros, Yas Waterworld Do you think this is a realistic amount of time to reserve for each park? If you don't mind could you please give me some tips? Fun Works - 30 mins (before Ferrari World opening) Ferrari World - 6 hours IMG Worlds of Adventure - rest of day (2 to 3 hours) Bollywood Parks Dubai - 2 hours (looks like they have a GCI opening next year so I think it'll be worth visiting) Legoland - 1 to 2 hours Motiongate - rest of day (5 or so hours) Warner Bros - 3 hours Yas Waterworld - 5 or so hours Thank you!
@@aussiecoasterenthusiast7561 Are you a big water park fan? If not, I'd recommend doing Yas Waterworld first thing. I got there at opening and did every slide within an hour. My only issue was meeting the weight requirement on Falcon's Falaj. It was really strict. How are you planning on getting around? I would recommend maybe starting with IMG and then going to Abu Dhabi so you can do those two days back to back.
@@CanobieCoaster I don't really care much about water parks, the main reason I'm going is for the coaster however I will ride the slides. So are you saying I should do Yas Waterworld in the morning of day 3 and Movie world for the rest of the day? Because that would probably make a lot more sense considering I wouldn't need too long at the water park. I'm planning on staying at a nice hotel at Yas Island the whole time as my family will be coming and my coaster-hating mom will be at the hotel the whole time without going to any parks, and she would not want to be moving around hotels. I'm planning on just using a car to get around. I'll take your advice! Thank you so much!
@@aussiecoasterenthusiast7561 I used Uber over there because of how cheap they were. Not sure if it would work for you as well. FunWorks tends to stay open really late. I went before covid, but it was open until 11 or 12 at night if I remember correctly. There are also a few mall credits in Dubai that are usually open until 12 or 1 as well. Yas Waterworld definitely doesn't need a full day if the credit is your priority. I'd say to knock there out first and then spend the rest of the day at Ferrari World, assuming that's your top priority. That would let you spend as much time as needed at WB World and then you could decide to park hop to another park later that day.
I'm worried about this coaster. Last year, this seemed to be the last major Accelerator without any reliability issues, but how things change. I was bummed to hear that Coaster Studios missed it, but I'm honestly scared because no coaster is closed "until further notice" for no proper reason. This ride could disappear faster than Kingda Ka or Accelerator (excuse the pun). There will be a time when hydraulic and air launch coasters are unable to match LSM technology, but we will not see that time for decades, and I really hope this coaster survives until then.
I have no clue why it's currently closed, but we've seen accelerator coasters have extended closures before. Some like Storm Runner have been closed for a year and reopened without much downtime.
8:56 Somewhere in the top 10? Try top 3. If it's slowed down to 90 miles per hour at the top, it'll be going 115 miles per hour (Top Thrill Dragster's actual average speed) at the bottom of the drop, and if it's slowed down to 100 miles per hour at the top, it'll be going 123 miles per hour (5 miles per hour faster than Kingda Ka's actual average launch speed). That's insane. I know this is a very late comment, but still.
Man roller coasters these days are feats of engineering! I mean, the world's fastest coaster has roughly the same speed as most planes during takeoff. The worlds fastest accelerating coaster has roughly the same acceleration of an aircraft carrier catapult launch. It really just goes to show how much effort goes into designing and building such simulations for people who cannot experience these feelings in real life!
We need a B&M in UAE. I’m desperate for a hyper or even a giga. UAE did deals with Intamin in Abu Dhabi and Mack / Gerstlauer in Dubai where they have installed those at multiple parks. Not a single B&M here makes me sad (don’t get me wrong I LOVE Mack but B&M is my ultimate especially of latter years)
UAE is lucky to even have an Intamin! The Philippines has no new coasters, the only upcoming coaster is a Mack family spinner that probably won't even be built!
@@stixel Im also from the Philippines! I would love to see any type of new coasters and maybe Philippines would work more with MACK. Extreme mack spinners, Mack Hyper coaster or even a multi launch, but that is pretty much impossible as Philippines isnt the richest country sadly, I would love another Big edition!
My best guess is that in order for this ride to rollback, it would need to be running at a speed WAY lower than the launch speed so it has plenty of time to decelerate.
WOAH! That’s a lot! I had no idea a small youtuber had this many credits Only ones I knew that had more than 1000 were Theme Park Review, Sean Flaharty, and maybe Theme Park Worldwide but that’s it That’s fantastic. I only have 46
I bought 2 day park-hoppers for this park, WB World, and Yas Waterworld. So I could bounce between them. Ferrari World start to finish is a one day park. I did two half days.
Imagine installing two Intamin accelerator coasters, one reaching a top speed of 149 mph like Formula Rossa and one reaching 198 mph. What would you think about those two invented coasters and what are the differences between the one reaching 149 mph and the one reaching 198 mph?

Stealth has one of the best launches out there.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah it's a great launch!
Yoo that launch looks incredible.
It is.
Great vid. I love FR but my fav is definitely Flying Aces - that for me is way more enjoyable.
Anyone notice the item fly off at the top of the first hill?!!!
Yes I saw that as I was editing. Someone didn't follow the rules.
I mean, the UNTRIMMED portion is likely faster than Kingda Ka overall. It's like the trim on Maverick - see ElToroRyan to find out the important purpose of the trim
This ride hauls even with that trim kicking in.
Great amended review!
Thanks!
They ought to have designed Formula Rossa so that there were no trim breaks but the hills were taller with the drops a little steeper.
If their options were have a record breaking launch and trim it or not have a record breaking launch, I'm fine with what they did. You still have plenty of speed after.
3:21, he lost his phone at the top of the hill. That must be some insane ejector.
It's more of extremely sustained floater airtime, but I'm guessing someone may have had their phone out against the rules.
Satisfying.
This is on my bucket list coaster
And for good reason!
They need a coaster at Ferrari World themed to the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California
Maybe that'll be Mission Ferrari.
I'm not first, not last, but like Formula Rossa, i'm really fast
Lol
True
I am the best, above the masses, but like Formula Rossa, I require glasses.
That’s good
@@StamfordBridge that’s also good
How does Formula Rossa compare to the other accelerators you’ve ridden?
It's the best of them. Great launch as expected, but a much longer and satisfying ride.
I'm not first, not last, but like Formula Rossa, I'm really fast!
At least you found the updated one!
Also is their a max height for like a person because I am 6’6
I wouldn't know unfortunately. I'd reach out to the park.
When I rode formula rossa I thought I was going to die😂 that launch tho
It's insane.
@@CanobieCoaster fax
This is definitly one of the most underated roller coasters out their

Xcelerator and Storm Runner have been closed for long periods before. I suspect it'll reopen, but it'll be a while.
I saw a guy on the launch track so I think they will increase the launch for falcons flight
Just rode it…both dragster and Ka are better but love the low to the ground turns on Rossa
I much prefer this myself.
