Context

Background

PortAventura prints 180 km/h for Red Force, and says the launch runs from 0 to that speed in 5 seconds. Coasterpedia prints 180 km/h. RCDB prints 111.8 mph. 180 km/h is 111.8 mph to one decimal, so the mile figure is the same speed. The ranked unit is kilometres per hour.

The five-second launch is the park's own line. A second independent timing of those five seconds was not in hand, so the seconds stay in the conditions and the ranked figure is the speed.

Checked 9 October 2026.
