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