How fast does the Ferrari ride go in Spain?

It is billed as Europe's highest and fastest rollercoaster, and the stats are impressive. It is 367 feet tall, and reaches a maximum speed of 112 miles per hour just five seconds after accelerating from a standing start out of its station.



The flagship attraction at Ferrari Land (part of PortAventura World) in Spain is Red Force, and it is currently the fastest and tallest hypercoaster in Europe. The ride reaches a staggering top speed of 112 miles per hour (180 km/h) in just five seconds. It uses an ultra-powerful linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch system to propel the "Formula 1" shaped trains vertically up a 367-foot (112-meter) spire. The experience is designed to mimic the raw acceleration of a professional race car, subjecting riders to intense G-forces before they plummet back down. Because of the sheer speed, the ride is very short—lasting only about 24 seconds from launch to brake—but the sensory impact is massive. It is highly recommended to wear the provided goggles if they are offered (especially for those with contact lenses) as the wind force at 112 mph is significant. Red Force is the centerpiece of the Ferrari-themed park and is visible from miles away. For thrill-seekers visiting Spain, it is a bucket-list experience, though it often closes during high winds for safety reasons, as the "top hat" element is sensitive to weather conditions that could cause the train to "roll back" if the launch isn't perfectly calibrated.
