Muntanya Russa, Steel roller coaster at Tibidabo Amusement Park, Spain
Description
Muntanya Russa is a steel roller coaster at Tibidabo Amusement Park on a forested mountainside near Barcelona. The ride stretches over 740 meters, climbs to heights of about 25 meters, and reaches speeds around 80 kilometers per hour while threading through trees and rock formations.
History
This roller coaster was installed in 2008 by manufacturer Vekoma, replacing the original attraction from 1961. It was built as part of a larger modernization effort that gave the park a fresh direction.
Culture
The name echoes the original attraction from 1961 and reflects how this mountain location has thrilled generations with fast rides. The track winds through trees and rocky terrain, blending traditional amusement with modern engineering.
Practical
The ride features sudden turns and drops, so securing or removing loose items is wise before boarding. Visitors with fear of heights or heart conditions should skip this attraction.
Did you know?
From the track at about 500 meters elevation, riders see the entire city of Barcelona and the coast below during their journey. Some rides offer virtual reality headsets that add digital elements to the experience.
