Formula Rossa

Formula Rossa (Arabic: فورمولا روسا) is a launched roller coaster located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Manufactured by Intamin, the ride set a speed record when it opened on 4 November 2010, and became the fastest roller coaster in the world upon opening with a maximum speed of 240 km/h (149.1 mph). It surpassed Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, which had held the record since 2005. In addition to its top speed, the coaster propels riders from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in approximately two seconds and reaches its maximum speed in 4.9 seconds. The record was surpassed by Falcon's Flight on 31 December 2025, which reaches a maximum speed of up to 250 km/h (155 mph). Formula Rossa is themed to Formula One racing, and unlike other Accelerator Coaster models that were built before, the ride employs a unique cooling system to combat the hot climate of Abu Dhabi.
