Staring into the wilderness
making our humble exit from the halls
SPLOSSH!
The inner walkways with the iconic gold palm pillars
Approaching Yas Island from the freeway
Spare tire - Check!
The cars can lean 40 degrees on each side at times!
For our transportation for the day
They can all be found in one collective area
Now for a visit to the race track!
the world's fastest hydraulically-launched roller coaster (Formula Rossa)
Some of the great sights along the way
Apparently this brings you out the Arabian gulf
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
The road serving Yas hotel
With some rather cute welcome camels
There is no dune too steep or high!
I am in the middle of nowhere!
The race track and grandstand's a short walk away
To roll!
Excellent sights on the dunes
Departing on the train again
view of the central area from the sides
Towards Al Bada'a
Floral patterns constantly line the walls of the mosque
Love the airtimes over the dunes!
Hang loose man!
The Yas Marina Circuit
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
I wonder why Singapore has a sand shortage...
That's all folks!
In a station
And gold souk entrance
The Dubai Skyline in the distance
Built by Intamin AG, it reaches a top speed of 240kmph
Overview inside the Marina Circuit Track
Commence overground surfacing
So much for a metro experience!
There are just oo many of them
Digging the station lighting
Visibility is rather good today. No sand storms. :P
Wave pool activated!
The size of the structure is breathtaking
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
Passing by Dusit
The building is modelled after the side profile of a Ferrari GT
The front entrance to the theme park
The largest Ferrari logo in the world
The track grounds and sunset from Yas Hotel
The spectator grandstand area
