Approaching Yas Island from the freeway
SPLOSSH!
the world's fastest hydraulically-launched roller coaster (Formula Rossa)
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
The inner walkways with the iconic gold palm pillars
The road serving Yas hotel
Some of the great sights along the way
I am in the middle of nowhere!
There is no dune too steep or high!
With some rather cute welcome camels
The race track and grandstand's a short walk away
To roll!
Departing on the train again
Excellent sights on the dunes
Towards Al Bada'a
view of the central area from the sides
And gold souk entrance
In a station
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
Love the airtimes over the dunes!
The Yas Marina Circuit
I wonder why Singapore has a sand shortage...
The Dubai Skyline in the distance
Hang loose man!
That's all folks!
Built by Intamin AG, it reaches a top speed of 240kmph
Commence overground surfacing
There are just oo many of them
Floral patterns constantly line the walls of the mosque
Overview inside the Marina Circuit Track
So much for a metro experience!
A small market area
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
Passing by Dusit
Digging the station lighting
The size of the structure is breathtaking
Feel the speed!
Visibility is rather good today. No sand storms. :P
View of the circuit and Ferrari world from the hotels
The track grounds and sunset from Yas Hotel
The building is modelled after the side profile of a Ferrari GT
Passing by the world trade center
The front entrance to the theme park
The spectator grandstand area
The largest Ferrari logo in the world
Aye captain!
Here we are at the boutique shops
Wave pool activated!
There are many rooms of interest
besides a smaller green line in the shurbs
