Is Red Force intense?

It is THAT intense. I swear. The release of the restraints is more forceful than the launch. Red Force was a ride that I didn't have any strong expectations for.



Yes, Red Force, located in Ferrari Land at PortAventura World in Spain, is one of the most intense roller coasters in the world. It holds the record for being the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Europe, standing at a staggering 112 meters (367 feet) tall. The ride uses a magnetic launch system to catapult guests from 0 to 112 mph (180 km/h) in just 5 seconds. The sheer acceleration is so powerful that it mimics the force of an F1 race car, and riders are often required to wear protective goggles in the front row. After the horizontal launch, the train zooms almost vertically up a massive "top hat" peak, providing a breathtaking view of Salou for just a split second before plummeting vertically back down. While some riders find the launch a bit "rattly" near the back, the intensity is considered world-class. Interestingly, many riders report that the release of the restraints at the end of the ride is almost as forceful as the launch itself, as they blast up with significant pressure. It is a "must-do" for any adrenaline junkie visiting Europe in 2026.
