New Ferrari World ride details emerge WORLD
A NEW children’s ride, Carousel, has been installed in the heart of the Ferrari World venue in Abu Dhabi. Carousel is the brainchild of students from four of the world’s best automotive design schools.
The merry-go-round ride will see children and families enjoy a simulated automotive experience, complete with moving brake paddles, accelerators and horns. Andy Keeling, Ferrari World park manager, said: “Carousel is a family-friendly attraction which will
give adults and children the unique opportunity to experience Ferrari prototypes and replicas in an updated version of the authentic fairground merry-go-round.” Ferrari World, the world’s largest indoor theme park, was due to open to the public on October 28. “We are on schedule to open the park with a wide selection of rides and attractions,”
commented Claus Frimand, general manager of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, speaking shortly before the scheduled date. “We have managed to turn one of the world’s most exclusive brands into an extraordinary experience which families and fans will come back for time and time again.”

Melbourne Museum gets touchy MELBOURNE Museum in Australia has become one of the first museums in the world to launch an iPad application that lets users get up close and personal with museum exhibits. Launched in celebration of the museum’s 10th anniversary, the Please Touch the Exhibit app

It allows users to take an intriguing closer look at some of the treasures that are on show at the
twinned museums’ collection of more than 16 million items. “The iPad is a fantastic tool for learning and offers a new and incredibly rich, engaging way for
people all around the world to interact with our museum,” Hart said. “We’re really delighted to be celebrating the museum’s 10th birthday with a glimpse of how new technologies might shape the way we experience museums in the future.” Please Touch the Exhibit takes users on a tour through 10 different Melbourne Museum
experiences. The app gives virtual visitors an entirely new museum experience, taking them inside the glass display cases and creating opportunities to interact with an assortment of museum objects.
