World’s fastest and tallest rollercoaster is now in Europe just two hours from the UK The world's tallest and faster rollercoaster is now located in Spain, and reaches top speeds of 112mph.
Named Red Force, the rollercoaster located at the Ferrari Land amusement park near Barcelona, used to be number four on the list, but has since risen to secure the top spot.
The park also contains the Shambhala rollercoaster, which used to be the tallest rollercoaster in Europe before it was overtaken by Red Force.
Manufactured by Intamin, which is also responsible for UK's Stealth ride at Thorpe Park, the rollercoaster is powered by linear synchronous motors — which is a more cost effective, quieter means of acceleration than hydraulics are.
Originally, the 880-metre track of Red Force was built in 2017 and used to hold the fourth spot on the chart for the world's tallest and faster rollercoaster.
