Red Force is a steel launched giga roller coaster located at Ferrari Land within PortAventura World in Salou, Catalonia, Spain. The ride was manufactured by Swiss manufacturer Intamin and opened on 7 April 2017. With a height of 112 metres (367 ft) and a maximum speed of 180 kilometres per hour (112 mph), Red Force is the tallest and fastest operating full-circuit roller coaster in the world as of November 2024 after Kingda Ka’s closure. It is also Europe's only Giga coaster.




Characteristics






= Ride experience

=
Once the train leaves the station, it is accelerated by linear synchronous motors from 0 to 180 kilometres per hour (112 mph) in 5 seconds. The train then ascends a 112-metre (367 ft) tall top hat, twisting 90 degrees to the left. Once the train goes over the top hat, it descends back down, again twisting 90 degrees to the left. This sends the train travelling parallel to the launch track but in the opposite direction. The train then enters a flat brake run and then ascends a small airtime hill before entering the final set of brakes.




= Trains

=
Red Force has two trains with three cars per train. Each train is divided in six rows, each able to accommodate two riders. Each car seats four riders, allowing a total of twelve riders per train. The ride can accommodate approximately 1,200 riders per hour.




= Track

=
The steel track of Red Force is approximately 880 metres (2,890 ft) long and 112 metres (367 ft) tall. The track is dark grey and the supports are red.




= Launch

=
Red Force uses linear synchronous motors to accelerate the train from 0 to 180 kilometres per hour (112 mph) in 5 seconds. The ride uses supercapacitors to store and dissipate the energy needed to launch the train, reducing the peak load from the power grid necessary to launch the coaster.
