From yesterday's launch

--- TEXT CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ROLLER COASTER ELEMENTS ---

After many years of delays Mission Ferrari at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is finally complete. The ride opened today exclusively for annual passholders with it being opened to the public on January 12th. I was lucky to be 1 of the first people to experience this attraction, I have attached images of the queue for the ride. I can confirm the ride features 2 inversion, one being a backwards loop. the worlds first sideways drop track and a gyro-table section. It includes 5 LSM launches, although I would only consider 2 of them as true launches, the other 3 act more like booster wheels. Overall it isn't a very intense roller coaster but is definitely extremely fun and was well worth the wait.

New permanent water and multimedia show is soft opening tonight at Sun World Phu Quoc's Sunset Town in Vietnam:

On a beautiful stretch of coastline in southern Vietnam, an exceptional destination is being born – within an already outstanding destination. Vietnam’s Sun Group has entrusted the spectacular show producer ECA2 to create something truly special on the shores of Phu Quoc. “Kiss the Stars” is the world-class multimedia show that visitors simply cannot ignore. More than a technically gobsmacking feat, operating in seawater and on a monumental scale, it’s a show with a warm human heart created around an irresistible love story that spans the galaxy.

Setting the stage for a colossal, and unforgettable, romance
Before “Kiss the Stars” could become a reality, it needed a stage. ECA2 created one to interact with existing elements, like the Kiss Bridge, Kiss Island, and even the cable car. The result is a massive outdoor theatre that seems to have no limits – it literally reaches for the stars in every direction. For ECA2, the aquatic stage represents the biggest of any of its projects worldwide. Yet this is only the first layer of what spectators see. The second layer is the iconic Kiss Bridge which cleverly frames the sunset, provided daily by Mother Nature. From the moment people queue until the final thrilling seconds, they are at the heart of the legend. To achieve this miracle of sensations, design intertwines with deep narrative and is punctuated by a complex symphony of multimedia effects. Fire and water play amidst light, lasers, and multiple speakers. All with the added challenges of operating in seawater. The world’s largest ever water projection screen surrounds the guests’ complete field of vision. Spine-tingling immersion is guaranteed.

Enter the vortex, a black hole across the galaxy
It’s the classic boy-meets-girl. Only the boy is a local from Sunset Town and the girl is from somewhere at the centre of our galaxy. Thanks to the Black Hole vortex, ingeniously reproduced through breath-taking special effects, the girl is transported to Earth. The Black Hole is a bridge across time and space that makes everything possible. So begins a story of true love as eternal as the stars. An origin story for Kiss Bridge and Island is written forever. Conceived to work as an all-multimedia experience, or as a hybrid one including dozens of live cast members, “Kiss the Stars” will create countless lasting memories.
