Ferrari Land to Open on April 7, 2017

PortAventura World Parks & Resort has officially announced that Ferrari Land, the first Ferrari-themed park in Europe, will open its doors on April 7, 2017. This highly anticipated destination is set to become a major attraction for visitors worldwide, offering record-breaking rides and immersive experiences that pay homage to the legacy of the Italian sports car legend. Located in Salou, Spain, Ferrari Land will join the established PortAventura Park and Caribe Aquatic Park to form a sprawling entertainment complex, ensuring visitors have plenty to do during their stay.

One of the central highlights of Ferrari Land is its iconic accelerator coaster, which promises to be the tallest and fastest of its kind in Europe. Standing at a staggering height of 112 meters, the vertical accelerator will catapult riders from 0 to 180 kilometers per hour in a mere five seconds. Over the course of its impressive 880-meter track, fear and exhilaration blend seamlessly, creating a thrill ride that motor enthusiasts and adrenaline seekers alike will not want to miss. The ride’s bold ambition to deliver record-breaking heights and speeds will place Ferrari Land firmly on the global map of top-tier theme parks, attracting curious travelers and die-hard thrill-lovers from around the world.

Covering an expansive area of 60,000 square meters, Ferrari Land represents a hefty investment of 100 million euros. With its striking Italian-inspired architecture and faithful nods to the heritage of Ferrari, the park will immerse visitors in a celebration of speed, innovation, and engineering excellence. Drawing inspiration from Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, this new European park will pay tribute to the timeless appeal of the Ferrari brand, while adding its own uniquely Spanish twist. These combined elements are projected to lure in an annual target of five million visitors, highlighting the aspiration of PortAventura World to become an even more influential player in the European theme park scene.

In addition to the primary accelerator coaster, Ferrari Land will boast a wide range of other attractions. Guests can look forward to a professional go-kart track that will test their racing skills, driving simulators that capture the thrill and challenge of real-world Formula 1 circuits, and various leisure and dining areas designed to immerse visitors in the spirit of Italy. These dining spots and shops will evoke the charm of famous Italian regions, incorporating architectural details reminiscent of classic structures and landmarks. This holistic approach aims to offer a comprehensive immersive experience, appealing not just to adrenaline junkies but also to families, casual travelers, and car aficionados of all ages.

Despite already revealing many of its signature rides and features, Ferrari Land still has several surprises in store. According to PortAventura World, there will be additional events and exclusive experiences tied to the Ferrari brand, making each visit truly memorable. Track days, themed gatherings, and special celebrations will further entwine the worlds of entertainment and high-performance automobiles, showcasing what makes Ferrari such an internationally respected name.
