Ferrari Theme Park, “Ferrari Land” to Open in Spain

FerrariLandHotel_Spain
Orlando, Florida has Disney World and Universal Studios; Hong Kong has Ocean Park; and Rust, Germany is home to Europa Park. However, beginning in 2016, the seaside town of Salou, Spain will be home to the brand-new Ferrari Land theme park and entertainment complex.

The $139 million complex will include a luxury hotel, shops, restaurants, and other entertainment opportunities. However, the real draw will be an area dedicated to high-tech simulators that will enable Ferrari fans to “test drive” various Ferrari models under race conditions.

Ferrari Land will be designed to cater to guests of all ages and interests. Park officials expect to have the world’s tallest vertical roller coaster along with another coaster featuring famous Ferrari cars. There will also be other amusement rides similar to what you would find in any other part. We suspect there will be plenty of Ferrari branded merchandise as well.

The theme park will be the second in the Ferrari Land portfolio. The first Park opened in Abu Dhabi in 2010. It is the largest indoor theme park in the world. Ferrari says they are considering additional locations throughout Europe once the park in Spain is complete.

Sir Richard Branson to Launch Virgin Brand Cruises

0

Richard Branson Virgin CruisesFor the last 40 years, Sir Richard Branson has been itching to start his own cruise line to cater to a new breed of tourists who would not otherwise entertain the thought of going on a cruise. Now, the founder of the famous Virgin brand is finally ready to realize his dream. He recently announced plans to launch his own cruise company that will compete with the big boys like Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise lines.

Branson is looking for as much as $1.7 billion in financing to develop a fleet of cruise ships that would concentrate heavily on the “entertainment and leisure opportunities” not currently being offered by the other major cruise companies. Branson’s flair for reaching a younger and more hip audience seems to suggest his cruise ships would focus more on what interests 20 and 30 something’s, rather than the destination themed model focusing on older travelers. However, this is all speculation.

The Miami-based cruise line will not be up and running anytime soon. It will take a few years for Branson to raise the funding and get the ships built. Nevertheless, when he is ready to go, expect the Virgin cruise line to be big.
