4. Shang High
A dandelion being blown off the wind. This is exactly what you will feel as you get on one of the tallest rides of the region — Shang High. At 85 meters above the ground, you'll have a bird’s eye view of the well-loved theme park Global Village. Shang High can seat up to 32 guests at a time, but you need to be at least 1.2 metres in height to be allowed to go. If you have all that it takes to give this ride a shot, then hold on to your safety harness and be ready to be spinning in mid-air.

Have you ever wondered what is it like to be a ‘stone’ in your slingshot games? Of course, you haven’t. But in case you actually thought of it (which is weird), conquer your fear of heights with Athen’s Slingshot also at Global Village. It will catapult you to the sky at intense speed as if you’re being thrown like a stone up in the air.

Fulfill your dream of flying by enjoying a panoramic view of the majestic Dubai Marina. The ride lasts for only 30 seconds but it will definitely be one of the most memorable “flights” of your life.

Dubai is not only the home of the world’s tallest building but also of the fastest roller coaster. If you’re a legit thrill junky, then riding on Formula Rossa must be one of the items in your bucket list. As if you’re driving a Ferrari race car, the speed of this ride is so intense that it shoots you from 0 to 240 kmph in 4.9 seconds. For your eye protection from the sand, you must wear goggles when you board it at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

It races up to 120 km/h so it can make the hearts of the riders beat pretty damn fast as soon as it blasts off.
