Red Force

Where? Ferrari Land   Fear Factor: 5

Red Force in Ferrari Land allows you to experience the sensations of Formula 1 as you accelerate from 0 to 180km/h in just 5 seconds! On the 880-metre loop of Red Force you'll reach the peak of 112 metres (making this the tallest roller coaster in Europe!) before you know it and be on your way back down to earth even faster. This ride is so fast that riders in the front seat are required to wear goggles, making for an excellent souvenir ride photo!

Furious Baco

Where? PortAventura Theme Park   Fear Factor: 5

The fastest ride in PortAventura Theme Park, Furious Baco tells the story of a genius inventor’s grape harvesting machine and his mischievous monkey assistant. Unsurprisingly, things don’t go to plan, and you’ll soon find yourself catapulted to speeds of 135km/h in just three seconds on this thrilling coaster.

Shambhala

Where? PortAventura Theme Park   Fear Factor: 5

Once the highest and fastest roller coaster in Europe (before Red Force took the title), Shambhala is categorised as a hyper coaster thanks to its massive size and high speeds - a fall of an incredible 256ft from its highest point and speeds of up to 134kh/h to be exact. Shambhala is still the 10th tallest roller coaster in the world, so it is definitely one for the real thrill seekers out there!

Hurakan Condor

Where? PortAventura Theme Park   Fear Factor: 5

Standing at an impressive 285ft, Hurakan Condor is the 7th tallest drop tower ride in the world and the tallest in Spain, and will have you freefalling at speeds of over 70mph. So, be sure to take in the incredible views from the top while you can, as you’ll be back on the ground before you know it!

Dragon Khan

Where? PortAventura Theme Park   Fear Factor: 4

Another incredible rollercoaster, Dragon Khan is one of the original attractions at PortAventura and 20 years on, remains one of the most popular. Boasting an incredible eight inversions and speeds of up to 110km/h, it is easy to see why this rollercoaster has remained such a firm favourite.

King Khajuna

Where? Caribe Aquatic Park   Fear Factor: 4

It isn’t just the theme parks that will have you screaming - the Costa Caribe Aquatic Park boasts some equally thrilling rides, none more so than King Khajuna. Europe’s tallest freefall water slide stands at 31m high and with a 55-degree descent, you’ll be moving at up to 6 metres per second, barely giving you time to let out a scream.

Tutuki Splash

Where? PortAventura Theme Park   Fear Factor: 3

Set on a mythical Polynesian volcano, Tutuki Splash will take you on a boat journey through what appears to be calm waters… however, calm waters don’t make for a great ride. Things soon change as your boat heads towards an almighty fall and a wall of water will engulf you as you reach the bottom! There’s no escaping getting wet here, especially in the first and last rows.
