'''Formula Rossa''' (Arabic: '''فورمولا روسّا''') is an [[Intamin]] [[launched]] [[roller coaster]] located at [[Ferrari World Abu Dhabi]] in Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Formula Rossa is the fastest roller coaster in the world at {{km/h|240}}. Riders must wear protective glasses due to the high speeds and occurrence of sandstorms in Abu Dhabi.<ref>[http://www.ferrariworldabudhabi.com/en-gb/attractions/formula-rossa.aspx Formula Rossa - Ferrari World Abhu Dhabi]</ref> Because of problems with the [[wheel]]s and the high amount of friction, [[trim brakes]] were added to the first [[hill]] to reduce the ride's overall speed around the same time it opened.

==History==
Formula Rossa was planned to open with the park on 27 October 2010. However, the opening of the park was postponed. It officially opened on 4 November.<ref>[https://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201011/2178/ Ferrari World's grand opening: take two - Theme Park Insider]</ref> It was the last [[Accelerator Coaster]] installation from [[Intamin]] as they discontinued the model.

===Trains===
4 trains with 4 cars per train. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 16 riders per train.

==Theme==
The roller coaster was marketed as emulating "the thrilling sensation of being in a Ferrari F1 car", during construction of the ride.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20170101161429/http://www.eturbonews.com/14532/ferrari-world-abu-dhabi-open-second-half-2010 Ferrari World Abu Dhabi to open in the second half of 2010 - eTurboNews]</ref>

A very similar roller coaster, Sprint 500, is available as a ride choice on Frontier's [[Planet Coaster]] simulation game.
