Furius Baco
PortAventura, Spain

Imagine a coaster that launches from 0 to 83 mph in 3 seconds, the fastest launch coaster in Europe.  Now imagine an imaginatively woven storyline, beautiful theming, a unique show scene the coaster rolls into prior to launch and innovative animatronics, hilarious special effects, custom-produced contextual media and an original score.  Now you can imagine Furius Baco, the newest blockbuster ride experience at PortAventura near Barcelona, Spain. 

Thinkwell Europa was approached by PortAventura to create the major new attraction for their 2007 season.  The ultra-fast themed launch coaster experience features a custom track layout designed to integrate part of the attraction into the existing lagoon, while simultaneously expanding the experience into a new land.  Throughout the ride guests are thrilled by several large turns, a long inline twist and a finale turn over the lagoon! 

The hydraulically-launched steel roller coaster features a unique seating arrangement where the seats are attached to the side of barrel themed trains. This gives the riders a floorless feeling, with no track beneath or above them (commonly referred to as a “wing walker”).

Furius Baco opened in June of 2007 to rave reviews and continues to be a highly successful attraction for the park.

Guests race over the lagoon at speeds up to 83 mph!



The themed exterior includes a vineyard.

Guests "wingwalk" over the water.

Barrels of fury from Furius Baco!
