The Formula One-themed Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is the world's largest indoor theme park, and is housed inside a sprawling, 200,000 square metre structure. The building is designed to resemble the side profile of the Ferrari GT body, and features Ferrari's famous "prancing horse" logo on its roof. The park is home to a variety of thrill rides and family attractions, including the world's fastest rollercoaster, Formula Rossa.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi opened on November 4, 2010, located close to the Yas Island Circuit Grand Prix venue. The park's developer, Aldar Properties, sold it to the Abu Dhabi government just three months after it opened. The commercial and residential property firm was forced to offload Ferrari World in order to reduce its debts, having been badly affected by the global credit crunch. Despite the financial struggles at the original park, a second is planned to open at Spain's PortAventura resort in 2016.

2. Steel Dragon 2000, Nagashima Spa Land (world's longest and most expensive roller coaster)

Standing at 318 feet tall and hitting a top speed of 95 miles per hour, Steel Dragon 2000 at Japan’s Nagashima Spa Land is no slouch. It is the coaster’s extraordinary length, though, that places it in the record-breaking category. The ride’s circuit runs for an insane 8,133 feet, and at more than $50 million it was the most expensive roller coaster ever built (excluding theming). The lengthy journey begins with three massive hills, each more than 210 feet tall. After flying around a helix, the train enters an extraordinary final section that includes no fewer than 8 consecutive “bunny hop” hills.

1. Forbidden Mountain, Disney's Animal Kingdom (world's tallest Disney "mountain")

Disney has constructed a vast number of fake mountains since the debut of the Matterhorn at Disneyland in 1959. None, though, are more ambitious than the imposing Forbidden Mountain, which towers over Asia in Disney's Animal Kingdom and hosts the Expedition Everest roller coaster.

The Forbidden Mountain was created using 5,000 tons of structural steel and 10,000 tons of concrete. A rigid steel structure holds the mountain in place. More than 2,000 gallons of stain and paint were used on the mountain's rockwork and the buildings in the surrounding village. To recreate the lowlands surrounding Mount Everest, more than 900 bamboo plants, 10 species of trees and 110 species of shrubs were planted. At 199 feet tall the Forbidden Mountain is the tallest of Disney's faux mountains. It is just below the Federal Aviation Authority's 200-foot limit, which would require it to have a flashing red light on its peak.
