In a moment that blurred the lines between reality and illusion, actress Millie Bobby Brown executed a stunning vanishing act aboard the world’s fastest roller coaster during her Abu Dhabi visit. The Stranger Things star, accompanied by her husband Jake Bongiovi, experienced the record-breaking Formula Rossa ride at Ferrari World on Yas Island, where she apparently disappeared mid-ride, leaving Bongiovi completely bewildered.
The incident occurred as the couple reached the attraction’s maximum velocity of 240 km/h (149 mph), with Brown seemingly evaporating from her seat during the high-speed journey. Eyewitness accounts and subsequent video evidence confirm Bongiovi’s genuine astonishment as he turned to find his wife’s seat unexpectedly empty.
Theme park officials and special effects experts suggest the disappearance may be connected to Yas Island’s ongoing ‘Summer Beyond Belief’ promotion, which features augmented reality experiences and technological marvels throughout the entertainment destination. The Formula Rossa coaster, known for its acceleration that rivals Formula One race cars, appears to have been the stage for an elaborate mixed-reality prank orchestrated by the actress and park management.
Brown, who has previously demonstrated her passion for elaborate practical jokes on social media, collaborated with park technicians to create the illusion using precisely timed projection mapping and augmented reality elements that synchronize with the coaster’s movement. The technological marvel demonstrates Abu Dhabi’s growing reputation as a hub for entertainment innovation, blending cutting-edge technology with world-class attractions.
The viral moment has generated significant attention on social media platforms, with fans praising both the technical execution and Bongiovi’s authentic reaction. Park representatives have confirmed the existence of several hidden augmented reality experiences throughout Yas Island, encouraging visitors to discover other magical moments during their summer visits.
