1.Fahrenheit,
Hershey Park, Hershey, Pennsylvania- Opened in May 2008, the so-called
“sweetest place on earth” just got edgier. This inverted vertical loop “lift”
coaster starts off swooping riders up 121 feet above the ground only to plunge
them right back down in a gut-wrenching, 97-degree negative drop—the steepest
in the U.S. At the 121-foot crest, the upcoming drop is at such a steep incline
that the only thing riders in the stadium-seating trains see it.
2. The
Voyage at Holiday World- In Santa Claus, Indiana, and Holiday World is
home to some seriously quirky rides. Family owned and operated, the park's
themed areas celebrate four major holidays, including Thanksgiving. The Voyage
is a relatively new wooden coaster with a surprising theme — the voyage of the
pilgrims. Pilgrims aside, it's a major thrill thanks to record-breaking air
time that leaves you grabbing your safety restraints in terror.
3. Insanity
Stratosphere Hotel and Casino Las Vegas- the Space Needle-like Stratosphere hotel in
Vegas knows only too well. Perched over the Strip, the most frightening of the
Stratosphere’s three rides is an electric-green-colored centrifuge called
Insanity, which extends 64 feet over the north edge of the tower. Spinning over
40 mph, riders are angled down by 70 degrees so all they see is the street, 900
feet below.
4. Themed
after NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, The Intimidator 305 is a steel coaster
with a toe-curling drop of 300 feet. One of only a handful of U.S. coasters
reaching such heights, it draws thousands of coaster enthusiasts to King's
Dominion in Doswell, Virginia.
5. El
Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure- Though nearby Kingdom towers over it, El Toro provides its own charm
and thrills. Built in 2006, El Toro is a record-breaking wooden coaster with a
massive drop that will have you screaming before you're halfway down. As a
newer wooden coaster, it's a smoother ride than what you'll experience on
vintage coasters.
6. Colossus
,Thorpe Park,Chertsey, Surrey, U.K.- but this roller coaster, built in 2002,
still holds the record for number of inversions, It flips riders over and over
and over again in maneuvers called the double corkscrew, the cobra roll, and
the quadruple heart-line roll.
7.Diamondback at King's Island- Thanks to innovative stadium seating, every passenger
on Diamondback at King's Island in Mason, Ohio, has a stunning view throughout
the ride. With 10 drops and a thrilling splashdown finale, this is a coaster
that leaves you breathless.
8.Eejanaika ,Fuji-Q
Highland ,Fujiyoshida,
Japan- The name translates roughly to “hey, what the hell,” which is what you
will hear others shouting in Japanese when you’re on this ride. Only the second
“4-D” coaster in the world . this has the 360-degree turns and insane style of
head-over-heels spinning on the winglike cars . track is a little longer and the ride is far
taller—at 250 feet, it’s the seventh-highest roller coaster in the world. And
from the top, riders have a spectacular, if brief, view of nearby Mount Fuji.
9 .Manta
at SeaWorld- Manta, built in 2009, features one of the
most-innovative train styles on steel coasters today. Riders are angled at a
prone position, mimicking the gliding stance of a manta ray in the ocean. Each
dip and loop is taken face first, making Manta in Orlando one of the scariest
rides to handle in the front row.
10.
Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure- Thanks to a simple lap-restraint system, Nitro
at Six Flags Great Adventure offers one of the scariest plummeting experiences.
At 230 feet, it's not a record-breaking coaster, but it's enough to send you
right back to the beginning of the ride to take on the terrifying drop again.
