Italian supercar maker Ferrari has revealed a mock-up image of how its new theme park will look when it opens near Barcelona.

The new venue will be called FerrariLand, and will be similar to the first Ferrari theme park, FerrariWorld, that opened in Abu Dhabi in 2010.

Sebastian Vettel laid the first stone at the theme park construction site while in Spain for the nation's Grand Prix.

At the event, Vettel said: “Not everyone has an opportunity to drive a Ferrari and especially an F1 car. This is a great chance to give [similar] emotion and feeling to the people.”

The theme park will sit alongside the existing PortAventura theme park and will cost 100m euro (£72m) to complete. It will boast Europe's tallest roller-coaster at 112m – 36m higher than Europe's current tallest ride – the Shabala in PortAventura.

The ride won't be for the feint-hearted. Those brave enough to experience it will be subjected to 1.35G, according to the theme park's bosses. It will reach 112mph in just five seconds.

A range of Ferrari items will be placed around the park, including classic race cars and engines from the Italian supercar manufacturer. There will even be a mock production-line like the one in Maranello, Italy.

On top of the 1.35G ride, there will also be another ride, one spokesman revealed to the Telegraph: “Perhaps the most important."

“It’s something completely different – something between ride and experience."

And while the theme park will no doubt be compared to its already-operating Abu Dhabi cousin, FerrariLand will have one thing that the Middle Eastern version doesn’t – a five-star Ferrari-themed hotel!
