the world's fastest hydraulically-launched roller coaster (Formula Rossa)
The strong winds make real nice ripples over the sand
It already looks reall good in here
Side sand kick!
Dune bash dune!
The road serving Yas hotel
The dunes can be rather rough at times, like a free range roller coaster!
Now for a visit to the race track!
Once alls here, the dune bashing will begin in a convoy
A view so unreal...
Some of the great sights along the way
Gahh! HeadLESS
Departing on the train again
I am in the middle of nowhere!
A small market area
The race track and grandstand's a short walk away
Spare tire - Check!
Just like this convoy here
Random chicks in a desert - Check!
Towards Al Bada'a
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
To roll!
The cars can lean 40 degrees on each side at times!
There are many rooms of interest
Look ma no vests!
So much for a metro experience!
And gold souk entrance
There is no dune too steep or high!
In a station
Built by Intamin AG, it reaches a top speed of 240kmph
Commence overground surfacing
The Yas Marina Circuit
I wonder why Singapore has a sand shortage...
Passing by Dusit
with various flat rides and a dark coaster to boot too!
There are just oo many of them
The size of the structure is breathtaking
The largest Ferrari logo in the world
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
Overview inside the Marina Circuit Track
Visibility is rather good today. No sand storms. :P
The front entrance to the theme park
Passing by the world trade center
Here we are at the boutique shops
Digging the station lighting
The spectator grandstand area
besides a smaller green line in the shurbs
The holding room before the main prayer room
Aye captain!
Another train in the station
