UAE-based Miral, which oversees the development and management of Yas Island, has announced the official launch of the rollercoaster 'Turbo Track' at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

With this new ride, the theme park’s portfolio has expanded to 37 rides and attractions, reported state news agency Wam.

The latest heart-pounding ride burst into life at a high-profile, inaugural event attended by Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, the chairman of Miral, Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, CEO of Miral and Luca Fuso, Ferrari’s chief brand officer, along with a host of dignitaries and distinguished guests, it stated.

Speaking at the launch, Jesse Vargas, the general manager, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, said: "Today, we are celebrating the exceptional story of how a world-class rollercoaster came to be. We are extremely humbled by the passionate drive that continues to fuel the minds and hearts of our team at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and those who diligently worked behind the scenes to bring this new ride to life."

"Turbo Track isn’t just a rollercoaster; it’s an experience that combines the passion rooted in Ferrari’s traditions and values, with the excitement of a unique thrill ride. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is going to be the location for mega rollercoaster enthusiasts all over the world," he added.

Al Zaabi said this new development reflects Miral's commitment to continuously invest in new attractions that support its efforts in making Yas Island an unrivaled destination for leisure and entertainment.

According to him, Turbo Track is another first for the Park, with major structural changes made to the building to accommodate it.

The rollercoaster launches guests from inside the park at 102 KMPH through the famous glass funnel, propelling them vertically through the iconic red roof to the highest point on Yas Island at 64 m, before they experience hair-raising zero gravity as they plummet vertically back down, he added.
