Furius Baco, Port Aventura. Behind the Scenes

Get ready for the roller coaster ride of a lifetime as Europe's largest theme park, Port Aventura, introduces a "wing-walker" hydraulic launcher with seats cantilevered off either side of the track. The Furious Baco ride keeps low to the ground with only one in-line rollover, but this coaster has the fastest launch speed in Europe: 135 kilometres per hour!.

Designed by the famous Stengel Engineering rollercoaster design firm, the Furious Baco is 850 metres in length and features the Accelerator System, which does not rely on height to gather speed, thus enabling the ride to travel close to ground level. Go behind-the-scenes at the theme park to learn more about how the mechanisms behind this high-tech coaster make it the only one of its kind in the world.
