Ride description
Formula Rossa surpassed Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure as the world's fastest roller coaster when it opened in 2010,[5][6] although Kingda Ka retained its record of tallest in the world.[7] The coaster train accelerates to its top speed of 240 km/h (149.1 mph) in 4.9 seconds using a hydraulic launch system. Riders experience up to 1.7 g-force during acceleration and up to 4.8 g throughout the ride.[2][8] The roller coaster track is 2.07 km (1.29 mi) in length, ranking second in the world among steel roller coasters behind Japan's Steel Dragon 2000.[9][10] Its shape was inspired by the Italian racetrack Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.[11] Riders are required to wear safety goggles to protect from airborne particles such as dust.[8] For safety reasons, Formula Rossa has a height restriction (140-195 cm) in place.[12]
