Some people would rather do literally anything else than go to an amusement park, preferring to plant their feet firmly on the ground. Others seek out the fastest and most fear-inducing coasters out there, traveling far and wide for a chance to catch some speed.

The last one on this list looks like it shouldn’t even exist in the first place. But no matter where you fall on the spectrum, there’s no denying that these roller coasters are just plain terrifying. Their steep drops, winding turns, and tendency to go upside-down at a moment’s notice are all reasons to get nervous before stepping aboard.

01. The Gravity Max

The Gravity MaxSource

Located at Lihpao Land Discovery World in Taiwan is terrifying just to look at: The ride goes up 114 feet before the track “break,” flipping the car down 90 degrees and dropping it 34 stories. It’s the only roller coaster of its kind in the world.

02. Full Throttle

Located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California has the world’s tallest vertical loop, which stands at 160 feet. It also launches the car from the station at 66 miles per hour.

03. Kingda Ka, USA – Tallest Coaster | Longest Vertical Drop

Located in the Six Flags Great Adventure Park, Jackson, NJ, in the USA, Kingda Ka is the tallest coaster in the world. Measuring 456 feet, it provides the longest vertical drop to its riders, at 418 feet from the ground. This coaster has held this world record since 2005.

To traverse this fantastic drop of 418 feet, riders are plunged down from the top and reach a speed of 206km/h in less than 3.5 seconds, experiencing free fall. This, incidentally, is also the second fastest speed attained on any coaster in the world. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “my heart rose into my throat”!

04. Wicked Twister

Located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, it is the world’s largest suspended impulse coaster, and just looking at it is enough to get your heart racing.

05. Formula Rossa, UAE – Fastest Coaster

The Formula Rossa is situated in the Ferrari World Theme Park in the UAE. Maintained by multiple-time Formula 1 championship winners Ferrari, it is no wonder this coaster is the fastest in the world.

Formula Rossa, UAESource

Riders reach a speed of 240km/h in less than 5 seconds – the actual speed that an F1 car reaches in races. The track has a total length of 2,000 meters, though you will be unable to tell due to the super-fast ride. Riders must wear special safety goggles to protect their eyes against insects and other flying debris, thus making it an even more authentic F1 experience. This ride has been the fastest in the world since November 2000.

06. Takabisha, Japan- Steepest Coaster

An inversion on a coaster is where the riders are fully turned upside down with their heads pointing to the ground and feet towards the sky. Located in Cedar Point Park in the USA, The Gatekeeper boasts of the highest such point where riders are inverted – at a whopping 170 feet above the ground. The inversion is followed by a dive drop, a near weightless experience, which is sure to make even the most intrepid adventurers scream their lungs out. The Gatekeeper has been holding this record since May 2013.

20. Full Throttle, the USA – Tallest Vertical Loop

As if one tall vertical inversion wasn’t bad enough, this one has 14 of them in a single ride! The Smiler – with its somewhat ironic name – is located in Alton Towers in the UK and is sure to make you beg to stop. Be sure not to eat anything before you foray into this topsy-turvy experience. This ride has held the record for the maximum number of inversions in a single ride since May 2013.

22. Steel Dragon 2000, Japan – Longest Coaster

The Steel Dragon 2000 is located in Nagashima Spa Land in Japan. It has the longest track in the world – 2,479 meters. It has held this record since August 2000. While most roller coaster rides get over in a few seconds, this ride is about 4 minutes long! The Steel Dragon 2000 hurtles its riders at a top speed of 153km/h, the sixth fastest in the world, despite lasting the longest. It also includes a 306-foot fall, sure to get your heart thumping.

23. The Griffon, USA -Tallest Floor-Less Dive

The Griffon, USA -Tallest Floor-Less DiveSource

Imagine hurtling towards the earth in free fall, without any floor to support your feet! That is the experience provided by this ride. Located in Busch Gardens, Virginia, USA, The Griffon is not for the faint of heart. It gives its riders a 90-degree free fall from 205 feet above the ground. That is akin to falling from a 20-story building! Not only that, but the coaster also has the sixth highest vertical inversion in the world at 146 feet.
