Top 10 Fastest Roller Coasters In The World

Gentlemen (and ladies), get your engines started! The fastest roller coaster on the planet has an amazing top speed of 149.1 mph (240 km / h). That’s fast, coaster fans.

Formula Rossa accelerates from 0 to 100 km (62 miles) in 2 seconds, climbs 52 meters (171 feet) and generates 1.7 Gs.

The ride begins inside the indoor theme park, accelerates through the dome, travels outside the park, and returns inside the building to the loading station.

Cars on the train look like flashy red Formula One Ferraris (and travel as quickly as possible). It’s so intense, to protect their eyes from desert sand, passengers are issued goggles.

 

9). TOP THRILL DRAGSTER (120 MPH)

Fastest Roller Coasters In The World

Top Thrill Dragster has an apt racing car theme at 120 mph. Not only does it reach nerve-rattling speeds, its hydraulic system catapults riders from 0 to holy mole in no time.

Top Thrill Dragster is essentially similar (if slightly slower and smaller) to Kingda Ka, but generally smoother than New Jersey.

It would gain a speed of 120 mph in 4 seconds once the ride leaves the starting area. Then it begins to climb the steep hill, 412 feet tall, with a 90-degree inclination.

The train also follows a twist of 270 degrees down the hill. Top thrill dragster is Ohio’s second-fastest roller coaster in the U.S. It is the world’s first-ever strata coaster, a full circuit roller coaster exceeding 400 ft in height.

Then the roller coaster falls at an angle of 270 degrees straight down 418 feet. In just 28 seconds, it will cover 3118 feet of a long track. The upside-down track trip with blazing speed also makes people weightless.
