Kingda Ka - Six Flags Great Adventure



This thrillest roller coaster is located at Jackson, New Jersey. It was officially open on 2005. It has hole the record being the Tallest steel coaster and Longest steel coaster drop in the world.

Tallest steel coaster
This monster's been king of the hill for years, thanks to its 456ft height and 418ft drop length. And it's about to get even crazier, when Six Flags adds a separate drop tower ride directly underneath Kinda Ka's loop. It's called Zumanjaro, and at 415ft, it'll snag the record for tallest drop tower ride when it opens later this year.

Longest steel coaster
 Kingda Ka climbs a top-hat tower at 90 degrees. In this case, the apex of the tower reaches a staggering 456 feet, or 36 feet taller than Cedar Point's former champ. We're talking over 45 stories in the air. Riders don't have much time to either appreciate the view or get freaked out, however. The trains crest the tower and plummet 418 feet straight down the other side before entering into a 270-degree vertical spiral.

It's over in the blink of an eye. Well, OK, 50.6 seconds to be exact -- but what an exhilarating not-quite-a-minute.
