PortAventura World Parks and Resort has confirmed April 7 2017 as the official opening for its new Ferrari Land.
The main attraction of the €100 million park will be the vertical accelerator, which the park claims will set the record as Europe’s fastest and highest roller coaster.
It will be 112 metres high and will take thrill-seekers from zero to 180 km/h in five seconds.
Next door will be a race track covering over 500 metres, with two bounce-back towers, F1 simulators for adults and children and the chance to experience a ‘super speedy’ wheel change at the pit stop.
The new park, developed in conjunction with the Italian car maker, is expected to boost visitors to PortAventura.
Once Ferrari Land opens, around 5 million visitors are expected to visit each year. Currently around 300,000 visitors a year come from the UK.
PortAventura Park in Catalonia, Spain, also has a Caribe Aquatic Park, a Convention Centre with capacity for 3000 people, and access to three golf courses and a beach club.
