Beats Ring Racer even before its opening.
150 MPH? The trains are very unique too.

Yessire. That is correct. Looks like Ring Racer was blown out.

What elements does it have? Does it just go in a circle.

Looks like it wont be opening anytime soon. According to a comment from the head of Formula One, the half-built F1 Theme Park in Dubia is going to stay half built. When Bernie Ecclestone was asked about the theme park he stated, “It is not happening.” -Screamscape

Isn't Kinga Ka still the tallest and fastest roller coaster. I'm pretty sure they have never gotten Ring Racer to go its max speed and there was a pipe explosion that broke glass and damaged the ride. It has been a mess and cost S&S a lot of money.
"Park staff later claimed that they were offered a hundred bucks a pop to try to the slide, but refused after seeing that test dummies often emerged on the other end dismembered. The looping slide was actually closed down for most of the park’s life due to these injury concerns."

Wrong park. F1 World and Ferrari park are two different parks.

Here this is old... but itll show you what the nice layout looks like....

http://www.thethemeparkguy.com/park/ferrari-world/

for those of you who dont know, it was named a few months ago as"formula rossa". It will go just over 149mph where riders will have to wear protective eyewear due to the desert winds/sands & stands about 170ft tall. It is an Intamin, so i dont think its gonna be anything less than amazing ;)
