Moreover, the Falcon’s Flight will outpace Dubai’s Formula Rossa rollercoaster, which currently holds the speed record at 149 mph. The anticipation surrounding this engineering marvel is heightened by its promise to offer a one-of-a-kind experience in the realm of amusement park attractions.

Who Holds the Record for the World’s Tallest Rollercoaster As of Now?

Formula Rossa is a high-speed rollercoaster located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, not in Dubai. It is renowned for being the world’s fastest rollercoaster, capable of reaching speeds of up to 149 mph (240 km/h). Additionally, the coaster simulates the experience of being in a Ferrari Formula One car and provides an exhilarating ride for thrill-seekers. Moreover, the Ferrari World is an indoor amusement park dedicated to the Ferrari brand and is home to various attractions and rides inspired by Ferrari’s automotive legacy.

The coaster features a hydraulic launch system similar to the technology used in aircraft carriers. This system propels the rollercoaster using magnetic technology, catapulting it to its top speed in a matter of seconds. Additionally, due to the extreme speed of the coaster, there are specific rider requirements, including height restrictions and health considerations. Riders are required to wear safety goggles to protect their eyes from the high speeds.
