Another slide from the same park, but worth it. These slides are "with bells and whistles", and in the truest sense of the word. Eejanaika is the so-called 4D roller coaster, which actually means that in addition to the usual ups, downs and loops, you also get ... 360-degree rotating chairs! Can rides get even scarier?

Fans of extreme entertainment invariably line up at the entrance to the roller coaster attraction in the largest amusement parks. The structures of this plan offer visitors to ride at breakneck speed in a trolley, bending around steep turns, entering dead loops. But this is not the worst thing that the designers of such attractions have come up with for people who are eager to tickle their own nerves. In the presented material, we will consider the most terrible roller coasters in the world.

A brief excursion into history

The first designs of which resemble modern structures were organized in the USA in 1886. However, the status of the oldest attraction of this kind is the "Russian Hills", built near St. Petersburg, even during the reign of Catherine II in 1784. Therefore, in most countries, such entertainment is called a roller coaster.

The first structure that had a dead loop was built in the USA in 1976. Since that time, the creators of such entertainment have set a course for the construction of slides, which should, first of all, frighten and surprise thrill-seekers.

Kingda Ka

The presented attraction has long secured the status of the highest roller coaster in the world. The largest lift of the giant structure is 139 meters high. During the movement, the trailer accelerates to 106 km / h. It takes only 3.5 seconds to reach this speed. Further, the trolley rises to the peak of the steepest hill and breaks into a free fall.

The tallest roller coaster in the world is located in New Jersey. They have been operating since 2005. During their operation, a whole mass of emergency situations arose during the operation of the attraction. The gigantic structure repeatedly suffered serious mechanical damage. Rope connections and engines also touched upon the problems. In 2009, the metal structure of the attraction was struck by lightning several times.

Given the above, it's safe to say that Kingda Ka fully deserves the title of "the scariest rollercoaster in the world."

Formula Rossa

The attraction, located in Abu Dhabi (UAE), has secured the status of the fastest roller coaster in the world. Within 5 seconds, the trailers of the structure accelerate to 140 km / h and continue to move without losing momentum throughout the entire trip.

Visitors who are “lucky enough” to be seated in the front row are offered special goggles. Without their use, there is a high risk of irreparable damage to vision.

Tower of Terror II

The scariest roller coaster in Australia is part of the Dreamworld entertainment complex (Queensland City). Their name, which in translation into Russian means "Tower of Fear", speaks for itself.

The attraction was launched back in 1997. For 13 years, about 8 million visitors to the amusement park have swept on it. In 2010, the designers decided to modernize the attraction and make fundamental changes to it. As a result, the already large rollercoaster became even more intimidating.

After the reconstruction of the attraction, its visitors soar to a height of about 35 meters at a speed of 160 km/h within 7-8 seconds. Next, the trailer with the riders goes into a terrifying free fall from a steep hill.

The attraction is located in the German amusement park Europa Park, in the town of Baden. Entertainment became available to park visitors in 2002. To this day, Silver Star retains the status of the most gigantic roller coaster in all of Europe.

The trailers here move along rails thanks to the implementation of a complex system of chain hoists. The scariest part of the presented roller coaster is a hill with a height of 73 meters. Once at the peak, the trailer literally drops fans of extreme sports into the "abyss". At the same time, its speed reaches up to 130 km / h.

Eejanaika

The attraction is located in the city of Yamanashi (Japan). The designers themselves call it none other than 4D slides. In the course of movement, the trailer here repeatedly goes to rapidly soar upwards, performs loops around its own axis. Caught in chairs, people literally rotate 360 ​​degrees. Therefore, for those who managed to visit the amusement park in the city of Yamanashi, it is Eejanaika that tops the list, which includes the scariest roller coasters.

Superman: Escape from Krypton

These roller coasters are located in the popular California amusement park Six Flags Magic Mountain. Their height is 126.5 meters. The free fall of the trolley here is carried out from a vertical peak 100 meters long. At the same time, the speed of movement reaches 160 km / h.

smiler

It's no secret that the leaders in the construction of the steepest, highest and most dizzying slides in the world are American designers. However, a few years ago, a new attraction was opened in London, which fully deserves the title of the most terrible in the world.

Entertainment, which is located in the British amusement park, was called Smiler. The design implemented 14, which is a record number among all the rides in the world. In addition to the dizzying upheavals, crazy speed awaits visitors to the presented roller coasters. During the movement, the trolley goes around zones with realistic optical illusions, which additionally pump up fear.

Steel Dragon 2000

The roller coaster, located in the Nagashima Spa Land entertainment complex, has long lost its status as the fastest and highest. However, they still have the greatest extent. They remain the most expensive in the world due to the record weight of steel structures that went into construction. The designers of the structure were forced to resort to the creation of an extremely massive structure due to high seismic activity, which is observed in the region. The combination of the above factors makes the Steel Dragon 2000 slide quite intimidating in the eyes of visitors.

Finally

Here we have reviewed the list of the most dizzying roller coasters in the world. In fact, each structure presented in our review fully deserves the title of the most terrifying attraction, since each extreme has its own individual fear factor.
