A generous Irish man has taken his taxi driver for the experience of a lifetime.

Liam Murphy from Cork, who was on a solo work trip in the United Arab Emirates, decided to take his driver along for a visit to the Ferrari World theme park in Abu Dhabi.

During a conversation on the trip to the park from Dubai, the Indian-born driver Shakiha told Murphy he had never been inside, despite taking guests there for 14 years. It was instead his job to drive tourists to the venue and sit outside in the car for hours until the guest returned.

Not having a bar of this, Murphy decided to do the good-guy thing and drag Shakiha along for the ride, coughing up US$95 a ticket for the pair to enjoy roller coasters and Ferraris together. "Today I made his dreams come true for the laugh," Murphy wrote on Facebook. "His first ever roller coaster ride was on the fastest in the world."

Photos of the wild experience at the world's largest indoor theme park show an excited Murphy riding alongside a very ill looking Shakiha. Murphy said on Facebook the taxi driver repeated, "I do not feel well sir" as he rode the crazy ups and downs on the GT coasters, which reach speeds of up to 95km/h.

Ferrari World's website describes the insane ride, where each coaster car is a replica of a Ferrari F430 Spider, like so:

"Two competing GT coasters launch away from the starting line on twisting parallel tracks, based on real GT racecourses from around the world. As you reach speeds of 95 km/h, watch out for the hairpin turns then tear ahead through the straights."

It's enough to make anyone feel sick and based on these pictures, Shakiha definitely struggled with the sudden hair pins turns.
