A new family ride at Ferrari World, called Viaggio in Italia, opened this week.
The ride takes visitors on a scenic aerial voyage through Italy and features images of mountains, villages, coastlines and cities accompanied by mist, wind and scents.
Riders are lifted 14.5 metres into the air by the arms of a simulator and are suspended over a giant domed screen in seats inspired by the design of Ferrari GT seats.
The ride can seat up to 90 people and joins more than 20 Ferrari-themed attractions at the park.
