Default Ferrari theme park

Anyone keen on going?

Looks like a white elephant to me? Oil money put to good use!

Apart from the F1 simulator, it's basically a normal theme park, painted Red, and a few thousand Ferrari badges stuck on every surface.

And probably the biggest Ferrari merchandise shop in the world.

I'll pass thanks

So how much does it cost to get in?

I have a horrible feeling that it could also be the most costly theme park....4 star restaurants for lunch!? Its bad enough trying to buy a burger in Alton Towers for a reasonable price

Hmm, initial entry costs are not too bad. But as you say, you don't know what you are getting for that. If you have to start paying for each ride on top of that its going to get very expensive very quickly!!

ADIPEC (the Oil Exhibition) I am attending is about the 3rd largest annual conference/technology display after Houston's OTC and Aberdeen's Offshore Europe event.

In principle these are the oilfield equivalents of the major annual Motor Show events .
