Its entrance is adjacent to PortAventura Park's main entrance. The Mediterranean theme is common to both entrances, as Ferrari Land is inspired by Italy, including recreations of Venice's Piazza San Marco and Rome's Colosseum. The main ride of Ferrari Land is Red Force, a 112 m tall vertical accelerator coaster that surpassed Shambhala as the tallest coaster in Europe and is also the fastest coaster in Europe. Ferrari Land opened a kids area in 2018.

Ferrari Land is the second amusement centre themed to Ferrari in the world, after Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.{{cite news|title=Port Aventura invertirá 100 millones en un nuevo parque dedicado a Ferrari|url=http://ccaa.elpais.com/ccaa/2014/03/13/catalunya/1394711022_331793.html|newspaper=El País|access-date=13 March 2014|author=Clara Blanchar}}
