The 2019 World Travel Awards (WTA) saw Ferrari World Abu Dhabi be named the World’s Leading Theme Park.

The award was handed out at the Grand Final Gala Ceremony, held at the Royal Opera house in Muscat, Oman on November 30, 2019.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is located on Yas Island. The site is made up for 37 rides and attractions, including the fastest rollercoaster in the world, Formula Rossa. Another standout attraction at Ferrari World is Flying Aces, featuring one of the tallest loops in the world.

Asides its dynamic rollercoasters and rides, including the Turbo Track, the theme park puts on live shows and features innovative simulators.

In 2020, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi will celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Other winners at the prestigious awards were Disneyland Paris, which also won a World’s Leading Theme Park Resort 2019 award, and Yas Waterworld in the UAE, which took home the World’s Leading Waterpark award.

Graham Cook, the WTA’s founder, spoke about having the awards in Muscat. “It has been an honour to bring WTA to Oman for the first time in our 26-year history. What an incredible evening it has been here in the magnificent capital of Muscat.

“We have the privilege of recognising the world’s leading hotels, destinations, airlines and travel providers and my congratulations to each of them,” said Cook.
