Website Official website Formula Rossa at RCDB Pictures of Formula Rossa at RCDB Formula Rossa ( Arabic : فورمولا روسا ) is a launched roller coaster located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Manufactured by Intamin, Formula Rossa is the world 's fastest roller coaster with a top speed of 240 km / h ( 150 mph ). Contents 1 History 2 Ride experience 3 Characteristics 4 Notable passengers 5 References 6 External links History In its planning stage it was called F1 Coaster. On 4 November 2010, the roller coaster officially opened to the public. Ride experience The coaster train accelerates to its top speed in 5 seconds using a hydraulic launch system which generates a release velocity similar to that of steam catapults on an aircraft carrier. The initial acceleration from standstill reaches 100 kilometres per hour ( 62 mph ) in 2 seconds, beating the best commercially available supercar ( as of 2014 ). Characteristics Riders experience up to 1.7 g of force during acceleration and up to 4.8 g throughout the ride. The roller coaster track is 2.2 km ( 1.4 mi ) in length, ranking it 6th in the world for steel roller coasters. Its shape was inspired by the legendary Italian racetrack Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Due to the high air speeds and thus risk of an impact with airborne particulates or insects, all riders are required to wear protective glasses similar to those used during skydiving. Formula Rossa surpassed Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure as the world 's fastest roller coaster with Kingda Ka retaining the record of the tallest roller coaster in the world. Notable passengers Ferrari Formula One drivers Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso rode Formula Rossa on 11 November 2010, three days before the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In 2014, Alonso and new teammate Kimi Räikkönen rode the coaster, while Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel rode in 2015. References Jump up ^ Sponseller, Dwain ( April 2, 2014 ). `` Formula Rossa ''.
