I think it's cause thermal runaway. When there is too much heat a failsafe steps in to prevent what it thinks is a fire in its early stages. LSMs do get very hot as they are essentially shorting out its power and have very little resistance. I have a couple of 3D printers and they use essentially a resistor with a low value to create heat up 300 degrees CENTIGRADE. Normal LSMs have fans, but they are of no use when the environment is hot itself. So yeah, not sure why they didn't think of that or at least it seems.
I'm going to portaventura world in the summer and these vlogs are my favourite thing to watch. I'm also going to Alton towers at the weekend so these vlogs make me so excited ❤🎉
41:19 ouch! Shawn's geography... 😬🤣, those are not the Pyrenees!, that is Sierra de Llaberia 1/4 of the height, on the opposite direction from that spot and closer (20 vs 150+ km) .. 😂😂😝 Fantastic vlog anyways, and fantastic channel !!👍👍
Nice video and a nice park as well. Kingda Ka and El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States are also awesome rides to experience as well. Take care.
I'd be interested to know from someone who has ridden both Red Force and TTD which launch they found to be more exhilarating. I've only ever been on TTD (CP is my home park) so I can't really judge. I would think the height difference wouldn't really make that much of a difference or be hugely noticeable.
Fantastic vlog, as usual. Looks like all my expectations came true. Brilliant coaster, mediocre offering of other rides, but a great vibe and some nice theming. I'll definitely be visiting with a hopper ticket.
Man, you gotta get to Cedar Point. I've only just watched some of your park Vlog's, given how much you enjoyed Magic Mountain and how much you enjoyed Red Force, absolutely gotta get to Cedar Point. As great as Magic Mountain is, Cedar Point may be even better and now they're getting RMC Mean Streak.
If you loved red force I can only imagine what you'd think of kingda ka, it's my number one. I do wonder what the coming down outta the top hat is like compared to the 270 spiral on KK and TTD
So happy I could meet you both during the third day when you were exiting port aventura. Even if it was short you were super nice. Hoping you have a nice return trip to the uk! BTW Went to ferrariland the next day that you went there for the Port Aventura fan days (so it was free with a tour and food included) and it surprises me how much you liked the park because all the people from the event had a bit of negative reaction to it (that I hope port aventura uses to improve the place). Red Froce is AMAZING as you said, we went 5 trips on it (3 front row, 1 middle and 1 back) and im with Charlotte that I didnt enjoy much back row as it shakes a bit too much for being a new coaster. It did brake during an hour on the middle of the day. Flying theater was also a pleasant surprise for us, it was broken in the morning, but working after eating lunch (and thankfully we got in "fast" because we could use the express queue, but as you said operations were terrible during the whole day through all the park). Didn't like too much Racing Legends theater, the water effect should spray you in the face, but the only thing they did was spray the seat and the trousers of everyone were compeltely damp at the end. The quality of video was not really good either and that movie is actually prepared for 3D becuase at the end they say "now you can take your glasses off". I prefered a lot more the simpsons ride for example. The ferrari autopia broke a lot while in the queue line with also terrible operation and lots nearly an hour there, they go too slow also, no one was a big fan of that. The towers have terrible forces compared to other towers in spanish parks, so we werent a fan of them either (and you have hurakan condor in the other park that is MUCH better). Then theres the payed rides, not good... Super expensive. And then the outrageous shop prices (it actually surprised me you didnt talk about them in the video, as you usually do and wanted to see your reaction to them). 10 euros for a bad quality plastic pen, 39 for a hat, 40 for a shirt, and even if the mugs looked good (loved the black one with the park map) they costed something like 16 euros. Port aventura has everything cheaper for example (and every other park ive been). The PR told us its because this park is inteded for international rich people. So yeah, we liked a lot red force, does not beat shambhala but is a top coaster for me with California Screamin' and The Swarm. Flying theater was also good fun. Everyone we were there still thought the park was too expensive for what it was and is starting to get a lot of bad publicity in spain becuase of the first visitors. Hope they fix all the problems they are having and think about cheaper prices or adding it to port aventura as an area in the future. The PRs told us during all this whole year there was no park hopper on sight and it would be 60 euros for a single ticket day.
You gotta go on top thrill dragster Shawn. Traveled from U.K. To there in 2012 the 360 on the way down is so good. Go in 2018 for RMC mean streak and then you can finally experience the mighty millennium force!
Just writing this as an update of the park in case you are interested: I posted a comment at the time you uploaded the video maybe the same day or the following one I don't really remember, about how bad the situation was atm. I can tell you the park made huge improvements from what I saw yesterday. Just so you know, the Pit Stop is now free. The prices went down from 35 to 25€ if you stay at the hotels as well as the Express ticket which is now 20€. Also, you can leave all the bags at the other side of the station in Red Force so there's no need to pay 1€ anymore. If you ride in the first row they give you protection glasses with an elastic band for the head which I found a spot on decision. There is single rider queue yet to be identified with a sign, just when you pass the last covered part of the line it splits into two, being the one at the left the group one and the single rider at the right. That's why you see three lathes and the one in the middle is never used. The staff incredibly friendly and talkative, it makes the experience much funnier haha the waiting time was 0 minutes for the whole day only with one train working, and at the last launch of the day as we were only 4, they couldn't launch it with normal acceleration (180) as it would make a roll back if there's less people than 6. So one of the maintenance guys with a grey suit told went to the control cabinet and boosted the power of the magnets so the train could pass the top hat. As they told us it reached 210km/h!
portaventura is my local theme park i total recommend it its sooooooo fun and good !! i saw ferrari land in construction and now to see the finish look its amazing im going there in a few weeks again and im defo gonna go on this !
I wonder if Ferrari land will expand their park. With 5 attractions at the moment, I can't see this being too popular, not like Portaventura itself anyway. Red Force looks great though!
Charlotte:”Experience the passion” Shawn:”Do you want to experience the passion Charlotte?” Charlotte:”yeah” Shawn:”well we’ll do that after the parks closed”
It's been a while since I last went to cedar point, but I used to go all the time before I moved out of Ohio. Last I was there and from what I recall, TTD has lap bars and it really adds to the experience not having shoulder restraints blocking the view. I don't see why a ride like that would even need shoulder restraints, you get plastered to the seat by the speed alone anyway. It's one of my favorites of all time with lots of memories attached to it.
Kingda Ka followed the fatality on another Intamin coaster--Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. I'm sure that had something to do with going with over the shoulder restraints, instead of lap bars.
Great video as always, love your reaction to Red Force! I'm from Staffordshire myself too, and I've been lucky enough to get on both Kingda Ka in 2010 and then Top Thrill Dragster last summer, I can safely say you'd have the same reaction, but 10 times greater to those two! Personally, I prefer TTD, the force is just unreal. I'll have to get over to ride Red Force soon :)
Hi there, I'm hoping to visit in September! I'd love to go on EVERYTHING, would you say it's possible to visit Ferrari land and Portaventura Park in the same day? Would you recommend buying a fast pass? Thank You!
In retrospect do you think it is worth the extra 35€? I booked a trip to Portaventura for end the of May and I wasn´t really amused when I found out it costs an extra 35€ even though I am already staying onsite.
great vid blog guys 60 euro isn't a bad price for open day and yes the park was empty but red force might be in shawns top 3 maybe wow and then you had to pay 25 extra euro for that experience simulation ride that's a big steep but another great vlog keep it up
CassiestarMSP it's an extension of port adventura world . It's marketed as a new park , and costs extra but with the hopper pass it includes the three parks connected together - the water park , port adventura , and Ferrari land
+Lucy Wooldridge no it's not, it's a separate park in the Portaventura World resort. Now there's Portaventura park, Portaventura Waterpark and Ferrari Land in the resort
I love Formula One and the Coaster looks amazing but it's not a park id really really want to make a trip to visit, id rather do PortAventura if i had to pick between the 2 but still a great vlog
This doesn’t seem like it should be a completely separate park. There are very few attractions which means when it’s busy, the lines will be super long on everything
Looks a lot better than I expected, especially Red Force and the Flying Theatre. Can't wait to see this soon.

Nice video and a nice park as well. Kingda Ka and El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States are also awesome rides to experience as well. Take care.
On Kingda Ka, you get quite a bit of head banging. TTD is definitely way better. Red Force looks amazing too!
I'd be interested to know from someone who has ridden both Red Force and TTD which launch they found to be more exhilarating. I've only ever been on TTD (CP is my home park) so I can't really judge. I would think the height difference wouldn't really make that much of a difference or be hugely noticeable.
looks pretty awesome. nice to actually get to see a vlog of the place. awesome work
Would love to ride this and compare it to when I rode formula rossa last year. That thing was absolutely nuts!
I wonder if a smaller family launched coaster would work well in the future
Fantastic vlog, as usual. Looks like all my expectations came true. Brilliant coaster, mediocre offering of other rides, but a great vibe and some nice theming. I'll definitely be visiting with a hopper ticket.

I got 1 ticket to the water park and 2 tickets to the theme park ( included with my hotel) will we have to pay extra to go to Ferrari land
I go there for my holiday and you are me favourite UA-camr so when I saw this video I got so excited😀
Thanks for watching
You gotta go on top thrill dragster Shawn. Traveled from U.K. To there in 2012 the 360 on the way down is so good. Go in 2018 for RMC mean streak and then you can finally experience the mighty millennium force!
I love how they have the live screens at the viewing area, it's a shame the camera can't pick them up.
I know you love Taron and now Red Force I can't wait for you to ride Maverick and iSpeed those 2 look insane!!
Great Vlog we love the vlogs with you and Charlotte. 👍🏻
i wonder if top thrill and king da ka will switch to LIM to cut down on maintenance..
LSM
Just came back from the UAE and went to the other Ferrari world it was amazing
Great report i saw you on the park, i sow it before, contineu like this guys, have fun!!!

Great Vlog Shawn, do you know when the main PortAventura Vlog will be online?
It's now edited, should be online in the next few days
I wonder if Ferrari land will expand their park. With 5 attractions at the moment, I can't see this being too popular, not like Portaventura itself anyway. Red Force looks great though!

Discoid I think it’s because of the air time you get on the hill after the top hat
Rode Top Thrill Dragster before, up there in my top coasters. Going to ride Kingda Ka soon.

I'm from Staffordshire myself too, and I've been lucky enough to get on both Kingda Ka in 2010 and then Top Thrill Dragster last summer, I can safely say you'd have the same reaction, but 10 times greater to those two!

That's great, very jealous that you have had the chance to ride them both!
I'm going to porteventura in about three weeks this is so useful
Hi there, I'm hoping to visit in September! I'd love to go on EVERYTHING, would you say it's possible to visit Ferrari land and Portaventura Park in the same day? Would you recommend buying a fast pass? Thank You!
I would buy a fastpass if you wanted to do both parks in one day
Theme Park Worldwide Thank you so much for your reply, I watch all your videos and love you guys!!!
Red force seems to accelerate slower than Top Thrill/Kingda Ka but I like how it is straight down instead of a spiral
Amazing vlog as always guys keep up the hard work
question: is the park big enough to warrant being it's own park or do you think that it should be an area connected to portaventura?
A seperate add on to PA would of been the better option in my opinion
Top thrill dragster is most definitely on my list ! oh yes anybody done a sky dive or bungee jump 😱😱
In retrospect do you think it is worth the extra 35€? I booked a trip to Portaventura for end the of May and I wasn´t really amused when I found out it costs an extra 35€ even though I am already staying onsite.
It's worth paying the extra just for Red Force alone, the park is very good!
Whens your next planet coaster Video going up?? For a next park i think u should build a replica of your favourite park
It's now online
How did you record on the rides? Is it allowed?
I can see that rolling back quite often...
It does, a lot
Oscar Powell it's supposed to when it rains
@@lauraclarkson-smithx3843 that would be awesome

Well he did say that there's a hopper fare, so that's a great idea!
It looks great really anticipating the opening of your theme park Shaun 😝😝
33:59 love that soundtrack what is it
enjoy the sun while u there!!!!
Was looking forward to this!
curious to know, when will you be at alton towers next?
In the next couple of weeks!
Ahh I love the sound of the launch on Red Force!
Lol Charlotte and the statue 😁😁😁Great vlog xx
Im going to portaventura with the school in exactly one month so this'll be really fun
Hey just a question. Is Ferrari land connected to portaventura? So do you have to pay for separate parks?
You do indeed
so you do have to pay seperate?
Red force looks CRAZY and i like riding stealth on the back
Jenny Cousins stealth will be my number 1 roller coaster until I go on red-force in 2018!!!!!!
There will be a blog of Portaventura?
It should be online in the next few days
I did king daka June this year it was so good you definitely need to go to great adventure. Also el toro is incredible
I'm going to flamingo land next week, what ride do u suggest I go on first ?
GozoGaming Mumbo Jumbo (unless ur buying a fast pass ) just because the queue was an hour but it was great
Thanks
The Pedalos
Hero, just go on hero all day long
you have to wear goggles on the front row of Red Force now
I do enjoy that soundtrack! 😀
So is the Ferrari land a themed land or a very small theme park, plz let me know, I am confused
CassiestarMSP it's an extension of port adventura world . It's marketed as a new park , and costs extra but with the hopper pass it includes the three parks connected together - the water park , port adventura , and Ferrari land
+Lucy Wooldridge no it's not, it's a separate park in the Portaventura World resort. Now there's Portaventura park, Portaventura Waterpark and Ferrari Land in the resort
It's a separate small theme park
Do you have to pay for Farari land on top of Portaventura
You do indeed
Thank you for the responses guys!
I went to pleasure beach yesterday and the wild mouse is Finally open!
Elise Bamber One of my favourites at BPB was Wild Mouse... sadly it's now gone
not any more! 😥
Great vlog. How can it be soooo quiet on opening day!
It was a Friday and also more expensive to go in for opening day so we think it was to do with that!
"It used to be a car park in porta Ventura" it still is a CAR PARK just better!!
Bethany Charlton xD
Lol, it's port Aventura btw
Tiny Tiny Robot it is not
Front Row Views it’s port Aventura
@@jackbielecki2786 PortAventura* no space
Do you have to pay separate for Ferrari land
You do indeed, it's a separate admission
My wife is not happy with you getting me hyped up for this. I've booked us a short trip for May. :)
Possibly the first fly to die on red force in history could of been on charlotte 😂
Hi Shawn, how busy is Port Aventura during the second week of May, on a weekday?
PortAventura was dead on the first Sunday in May 2 years ago, everything pretty much walk-on.
Oh really? That's good to hear! :D
Have a great time! Shouldn't be to busy in May
Thanks! Looking forward to riding Shambala and seeing if it's all its cracked upto be! :P
Theme Park Worldwide do you know whether or not portaventura or ferrari land will be busy in the middle of July and is it best to go in the evening?
When will you be going back to Drayton manner?
Our latest vlog from Drayton is now online
Have to say Kingda Ka is better!!! Do they get the occasional rollback?
They do occasionally
Do you have to pay extra to go in to ferrai land or is it included in price
Jake Parker damn thts anoying if its more or same as main poark il be pissed
Pepe the Frog it's less than the same price as portaventura
+Pepe the Frog you can get a hopper pass to jump between the two parks
It's a separate admission from the main park
cant wait to go next month
When can you make a theme park worldwide website where we can purchase merchandise
We will look into something like this!
Does that mean that red force is the tallest giga coaster in the world?
Matthew Agius yes
no not by miles - Top thrill dragster and Kingda Ka are waaayyy bigger
SNORKYMEDIA but they're strata coasters
Matthew Agius The tallest is Kingda Ka which is the same ride as this but it's 410 ft while this is 367 ft only.
gissneric Kingda Ka is 456ft therefore doesnt classify as a giga, instead a strata
Now belongings can be left at the Red Force station. It is not obligatory to leave it at the payment booths
That's a much better decision by the park
Do u have to pay a seperate price of admission for Ferrari land?
You do indeed as it's a separate park
Great vlog! keep it up!
do you have to pay sepreate tickets for the two parks?
You do indeed
lol thats not right. they are in the same place though.
29:43 Ha, you really hit the nail on the head with that one Shawn!
will you be at alton towers on Wednesday?
I was indeed, working though!
Theme Park Worldwide really I can't belive I missed you! I saw harry and Lee though
I love Formula One and the Coaster looks amazing but it's not a park id really really want to make a trip to visit, id rather do PortAventura if i had to pick between the 2 but still a great vlog
28.55 OMG 😂😂😂 youre awesome
Is there fastrack/express for Red Force?
It does indeed
so, is Ferrari land part of Portaventura or is it it's own separate park that you have to pay extra for? :)
Charley Joseph It's separate. 60€ Ferrari land + Portaventura park. 70€ 2 days, one day in portaventura and other day portaventura + ferrari.
Thank you :)
It's separate admission
great vlog shawn
5:23 “There is nothing quite like it” uchum uchum kingda ka uchum top thrill dragster
And stealth
Where can I get a T-shirt like Charlotte was wearing in a medium?
We don't sell T-shirts at the moment but we are hoping to soon!
This doesn’t seem like it should be a completely separate park. There are very few attractions which means when it’s busy, the lines will be super long on everything
"experience the passion; well do that after park closes" I thought this channel was a family channel?!

Dad jokes innit, Disney always throw em in ;)

Hahaha gotta love Shawn!
LOL.
Amazing video xxx
did Red Force roll back while you were there
It did during testing in the morning
