Amusement Parks With The Most Roller Coasters In The World

Roller Coasters Thrills

A roller coaster is a type of amusement park ride that consists of small cars that move over a specially designed track. These tracks often include uphill movements that end in steep declines, loops that force riders to go upside down, and sharp turns that tip the car sideways. Roller coasters are popular with thrill seekers around the world because they provide a much-desired rush of adrenaline. Today, they go faster and taller than ever before. The fastest roller coaster in the world is the Formula Rossa which reaches speeds of up to 149.1 miles per hour (mph)! Located in Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates, riders are required to wear goggles for eye protection. For the tallest roller coaster in the world, thrill seekers need only travel to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey of the United States. Here, the Kingda Ka surprises passengers with a 418-foot drop!
