yeah wat ever!

I am Italian and am not a fan of Ferrari at the beat of time (totally up their own arses in my opinion) and this just reinforces this. An attraction that only rich gits can afford. Oh no i am not bitter cos i am not rich, just did not like having my camera "kicked out of my hand" by the security guard in the venice shop for taking a picture of my son next to a 5 year old F1 car?

Hmmmm

Well the 150mph coaster sounds interesting.
Duelling coasters is not unique - anyone ever been on the "Grand National" at Blackpool Pleasure Beach ? Built in 1926, and 2 coasters that race each other.
