Height Restrictions and Ride Guidelines

As per World Health Organization (WHO) figures, a height of 1.2 m usually corresponds to around 5 years of age. However, this will naturally vary due to genetic factors, diet and so on. For safety reasons, there are height restrictions in Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

For instance, the signature Formula Rossa rollercoaster – the fastest in the world – is only for anyone at least 1.4 m (4.59 feet) tall. Based on WHO’s height-for-age standards 140 cm is typical for 10-year-olds.
