Spain is now home to Europe’s fastest and highest rollercoaster. It sits in Ferrari Land, the new theme park opening April 7, in Catalonia.
An adult entrance fee will cost €60, and will include a ride on the rollercoaster, which takes thrill-seekers from 0 to 180 kph in just five seconds. The ride then soars to a height of 112 meters before hurtling down the other side.
“The acceleration is going to be even quicker than a Formula One car,” Marc Gené, a Ferrari test driver working with the theme park, told The Local.
“What is going to be very impressive is the G force on the vertical accelerator. At 4.5 G it is even more than a Formula One car. Attractions will allow visitors to experience first hand some of the sensations of driving a Formula One racing car. It’s a park for all ages, where even the youngest members of the family can discover the legendary spirit of Ferrari,” Gené said.
Other attractions at Ferrari Land will include a racetrack, two Formula 1 simulators and two 55-meter free-fall towers that propel riders in two directions. There’s also a Little Italy area with replicas of the Colosseum in Rome, Milan’s La Scala opera house, the Piazza San Marco in Venice and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. There are also several Italian restaurants and a replica of the Ferrari factory.
