Branded Attractions and Theme Parks: At Ferrari World, Speed is the Thing
Of all the world’s iconic brands, perhaps none is so striking, so
steeped in romance and so aesthetically pleasing as Ferrari’s.
Manchester United’s is another another red sporting image familiar
worldwide, yet its red devil can’t hold a candle to the Italian’s
prancing stallion - such is Ferrari’s hold on the imagination. Set to open in October, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi will stand on its
own merits as an international visitor destination and high-profile
branded attraction......View more

Amusement parks: Holiday World starts to Twitter...

Amusement parks: Devon Sweets at Dubai's Amusement Expo
