Speed of Magic is a state-of-the-art attraction offering guests a chance to go where no Ferrari has gone before, chasing the mischievous cartoon character Nello, who has just stolen the keys to a Ferrari.
Guests are whisked away on a moving simulator that is perfectly synchronized with every dash, dip, swerve and leap of the Ferrari onscreen, accompanied by blasts of hot air and moisture and flashes of light that heighten the sense that the rider is truly taking part in the chase.
“You can leave the real world behind with a totally immersive experience on board Speed of Magic, ” said Andy Keeling, Park Manager of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. “This attraction really brings out the child in you and can be shared with every member of the family. It’s the ultimate combination of thrills and technology.”
Wayne Meadows, Director of Maintenance, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, added: “The ride is based on 4-D technology. So you have 3-D vision, but you also have movement. Essentially it’s a simulator that allows the rider to move along all three axes while also moving forward along the ride track, which creates the feeling of being self-propelled. To me it’s one of the most technologically complex rides we have.”
Strap on the 3-D glasses and fly along crumbling cliffs, into the jungle, through icy caves and to the bottom of the ocean – with real-life extremes in temperature, moisture, light and movement whereby your senses are teased in an interactive journey through a thrilling fantasy world.
But will you ever catch up with Nello and win back the keys to the Ferrari? Guess that’s something you will have to find out for yourself the next time you visit Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
