Rev up for Europe's fastest rollercoaster as Ferrari Land opens in PortAventura in Spain

The video alone is head spinning, but those who want to brave the real thing this summer should head to Ferrari Land in PortAventura which opened Europe’s highest and fastest rollercoaster today.

Accelerating from 0 to 110 mph in five seconds, the Red Force ride fires passengers to a height of 112 metres – though the entire ride is over in about 30 seconds.

Taking to its tracks today, the ride is in the newly opened Ferrari Land theme park – which is itself part of PortAventura World, Spain. Those brave enough to try it will experience a G force of 1.35, giving them a brief but intense taste of what it is like to be in a Formula One car.

Red Force, which cost approximately £80m, is, of course, the main attraction in the new theme park, which also includes Formula One racing simulators and an interactive gallery looking at the history of Ferrari.
