Ferrari World - Mission Ferrari: SFX Coaster

I don't know, I think it's kinda cool and it doesn't take up much space. The backwards section is disappointing, but other than that It's a unique ride concept and I'm sure the spike has some cool lats in the with the 0 g's. I hope they build another drop tower though, it's always sad to see them go

I do like the view when going backwards. Perfectly centered!

Could have gone faster over the hill though. Now you see it kinda launches twice. Initial launch with probably mediocre airtime and after the hill it goes for a 2nd boost to make it up the spike. :/

Yeah, I think we were all hoping for ejector on that hill haha.

I assume that's one pavilion-like "tweener" vertical ride that's NOT based off on extreme thrills.

I thought i might bump this thread with some construction images from the past couple of months on the SFX coaster, which is believed to be called Mission Ferrari.





















The ride is rumoured to finally open in May of this year.

^ Looks exciting - it "may" be open in May... +

It surely looks interesting. I really wonder about the cars and the entire layout.

I forgot this thing existed to be honest. Still looks about the same since we can't see much into it...

And still it is not open.
How long is this thing under construction now, 5 years?

They had rollback problems during tests runs so they are trying to fix them.

It is odd that this thing has been taking so long.

I would almost say that it is a tradition in the middle east to construct a ride for years
Maybe Mission Ferrari opens around 2020 or something, I don't have high hopes on an opening in 2018 or 2019

Well, it seems like Mission Ferrari has been testing:

Also, during IAAPA, Dynamic Attractions announced that Mission Ferrari is supposed to finally open in 2019... Hopefully.

Would be nice to know why this is taking so long to build...

It has been tested, but not opened so far... They have a few issues with it I suppose?

I believe those paintings are new

Good news, it looks like Mission Ferrari may finally open in 2020:

We're racing ahead into 2020 with more new exciting experiences at @ferrariworldabudhabi!???
???
They will include 'The Family Zone' for our younger park guests, a high-speed indoor rollercoaster called Mission Ferrari, a walking experience on the theme park's iconic red roof, and a zip line journey with incredible views of @yasisland's skyline.??? ???

It's also been announced that the park will also be receiving a new family coaster from Zamperla as part of a new family zone. This is concept art for it:



...and here is the current state of it:
