Fans of exotic cars and roller coasters could soon have a new favorite park in Orlando. The luxury automaker Ferrari licensed its name to its first park, Ferarri World, in Abu Dhabi in 2010. It contains the world's fastest roller coaster, the Formula Rossa. Ferarri has plans for additional parks in Spain (almost completed), China, and now North America, as well.
Ferarri has not yet revealed where in North America its latest park would be constructed, but many people are speculating that Orlando is a frontrunner. If Orlando (or possibly another Florida city) was chosen, you can bet that this new attraction would come with some incredible auto-themed rides and entertainment. For now, we can only wait and see.
Oh, and did we mention that Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi is entirely indoors? Now that sounds perfect for Florida. Take a look at some of the images inside the amusement park in Abu Dhabi:

It's never too late in Florida to enjoy some waterpark fun, am I right? But if you really want to try something unique, I recommend heading to Rapids Water Park in Riviera Beach for Florida's first and only dueling water coaster.

Rapids Waterpark in Riviera Beach is South Florida's largest water park and the perfect place to spend a warm afternoon with family or friends.
Spanning over 35 acres with more than 40 rides and attractions, this park offers a lazy river, wave pool, surf simulator, and various slides.
However, this year, Rapids introduced Florida's only dueling water coaster, Mega Mayhem.
This thrilling ride stands nearly 54 feet tall and features two flumes over 1,600 feet long. Riders race side-by-side through twists, high-banked turns, and uphill sections, propelled by powerful blasts of water.
The unique experience includes three "blast zones" and four giant bowls, making for an exhilarating adventure.
