UK Theme Park Fan’s First Time at Ferrari Land – Is It Worth It?

Opened in 2017 as part of PortAventura World, Ferrari Land is a theme park dedicated to the iconic Italian car brand. It’s the only Ferrari theme park in Europe and offers a mix of high-speed rides, family attractions, and Ferrari-themed experiences.

For UK visitors planning a holiday to PortAventura, the big question is: is Ferrari Land worth adding to your trip?

The Big-Name Attractions

For thrill-seekers from the UK, Ferrari Land has a few headline rides that stand out:

• Red Force – Europe’s tallest and fastest roller coaster at 112 metres high, launching riders from 0–180 km/h in just 5 seconds. (Think Stealth at Thorpe Park, but much bigger!)
• Thrill Towers – Twin free-fall and bounce-back towers themed around Ferrari engineering.
• Racing Legends – A motion simulator that puts you in the driver’s seat of a Formula 1 car.
• Maranello Grand Race – A family-friendly driving circuit where you can race against each other.

While the line-up isn’t huge compared to PortAventura Park, the quality of the big rides makes Ferrari Land worth a look for coaster and car fans.

Family-Friendly Attractions

Ferrari Land isn’t just about extreme thrills—there’s plenty for younger kids too:

• Junior Championship – Mini racing cars on a track designed for little drivers.
• Kids’ Podium – A soft play area and themed playground.
• Mini Red Force – A scaled-down roller coaster so children can experience a taste of the main ride.

If you’re travelling from the UK with kids, Ferrari Land is surprisingly family-friendly and can be enjoyed in just half a day.

How Long Do You Need in Ferrari Land?

Unlike PortAventura Park, which can easily take two days to explore, Ferrari Land can usually be done in 3–5 hours.

Many UK families find that:

• Morning in Ferrari Land + Afternoon in PortAventura Park = the perfect balance.
• If you’re a hardcore Ferrari fan, you might want longer to enjoy the shows, simulator rides, and theming.

Is It Worth the Ticket Price for UK Visitors?

Ferrari Land entry is often bundled with PortAventura Park tickets, but it can also be purchased separately.

• Bundle Tickets (PortAventura + Ferrari Land): Best value, as you can split your time between both parks.
• Ferrari Land Only Ticket: Not recommended for UK visitors unless you’re a huge Ferrari enthusiast and don’t care about PortAventura.

When compared to UK parks like Thorpe Park or Alton Towers, Ferrari Land is smaller but offers one-of-a-kind experiences like Red Force that you won’t find anywhere else in Europe.

UK Theme Park Fan’s Perspective

For UK thrill seekers used to rides like:

• Stealth (Thorpe Park)
• The Smiler (Alton Towers)
• ICON (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)

Ferrari Land provides something unique: the sheer scale of Red Force and the Ferrari theming you simply can’t find in the UK.

It won’t take more than half a day to experience everything, but if you’re already visiting PortAventura World, it’s absolutely worth adding Ferrari Land to your trip.

Final Thoughts – Is Ferrari Land Worth It?

For UK theme park fans, Ferrari Land is a must-visit add-on when travelling to PortAventura.

• Yes, it’s smaller than PortAventura Park.
• Yes, it can be done in half a day.
• But Red Force alone is worth the price of admission for thrill seekers.

If you’re travelling as a family, the mix of junior rides and interactive experiences makes it fun for everyone. For UK visitors heading to Salou, Ferrari Land is a unique experience you won’t find back home—making it well worth your time.
