Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think my favorite caption for the video was "Travel through twelve cylinders of wonder." Now if that doesn't sound like fun, I don't know what does.

The rides all look fun enough (I'm particularly interested to see how their Soarin' copy works out), but there just doesn't seem to be enough variety in theme to get me excited about it. And the building appears to be super modern (which makes sense with the Ferrari stuff), but it will look dated in a few years, and looks bizarre with the models of old Italian landmarks. I also have to wonder what the acoustics will be like in there. If I'm ever in Abu Dhabi, I might have to stop by to check it out, but since that's nowhere near ever happening, I can't say that I'll be too sad about missing out on it.
