Kingda ka Roller coaster, Six Flags, Jackson Township
Kingda ka Roller coaster, Six Flags, Jackson Township
We are going to the the tallest and fastest coaster in the world which looms high over the rest of the park.This thriller ride towers over an incredible height of 456 feet (45 stories!), Kingda Ka is a strata-coaster (exceeds a height of 400 feet) and accelerates from 0-128 miles per hour in less than four seconds.A hydraulic launch shoots the train straight-up the 456-foot tower, pauses at the top and goes straight downward into a 270-degree spiral. Kingda Ka debuted on May 21st, 2005, becoming the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the world, surpassing the record set by Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, which is 420 feet tall and goes 0-120 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds.The ride shoots you 90 degrees into a quarter-turn, and then the train shoots straight-down vertically into a 270-degree spiral. It then goes down a valley and up a 129-foot camel hump, providing much airtime.Short but terrifying. This ride offers you a heart-stopping 30 seconds in your life.Six Flags Great Adventure has unleashed Kingda Ka, a record-shattering rocket coaster, in the 2005 season. The coaster is part of a new, highly themed 12-acre Golden Kingdom land in Six Flags’ New Jersey park that includes a tiger exhibit, a giant interactive play structure, new children’s rides, and a new stadium show.

That seem too simple for you? Then, consider that throughout the ride your seat is rotating either forward or backward in a full 360-degree controlled spin and that according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Eejanaika has 14 inversions-the most of any roller coaster in the world.Eejanaika, designed by S&S Arrow, is a “4th Dimension” coaster, a design in which the seats can rotate forward or backward 360 degrees in a controlled spin.

Tower of Terror at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast in Australia
Welcome to the Southern Hemisphere’s tallest thrill ride. From a dizzying height of 38 stories, riders plummet at 100 miles per hour during a zero gravity free fall like no other. This ride is considered among the most technologically advanced of theme park rides, the tower uses magnetic energy to propel the ride up the horizontal track, and 2,200,000 watts of power — enough energy to supply a small town — is employed to reach the insane speeds of the descent. The whole experience — up and down, down, down — is over in just 40 seconds, but the buildup makes it feel far longer.Your knuckles turn white, you hold your breath; suddenly, your face moves upward. This is G-force – hold on! The Tower of Terror is one of the fastest rides in the world.The Tower’s electro-magnetically powered ‘Escape Pod’ accelerates its passengers to a massive 160 kph in seven seconds before it climbs to almost 38 storeys high.Fear not, after a tummy losing free fall back to earth you will hurtle safely back to the station through a 90-degree reverse fall.
