World's fastest roller coaster: 150 mph

how do they even do that. Its not gravity. Its going from a stand still and what looks like up hill a little bit. Thats crazy
 
The start looked insaneicous, but J.D. is right, that looked like it got quite boring, i didn't watch the whole thing, but it looked like they didn't even do no flips.
 
yea, that video did nothing for that, looked like it was doing 60mph, not 150. im sure its crazy in real life tho :)
 
ts top speed ever recorded is 136 mph. the desighners didnt want it to go over 140, because it goes over sand, and at 120 mph, sand rips skin clean off the bone. sorry, this was not meant to be hate, but the facts were just a little off. peace
 
Abu Dabi (or however you spell it). I believe it's at the Ferrari World theme park which overlooks the circuit there.
 
That didn't look that great. I'll wait for something bigger to come closer. I've done one that was 122/123 and one that was 128/129. The hill on the one was over 450 tall.
 
Kingda Ka is a lot of fun and definately the best thrill, but this is by far my all time favorite coaster. Smoothest ride ever:

 
king da ka at six flags here in NJ goes 126 in a really short amount of time. it's a really quick ride though, and the launch part is so fast. you're blinded by wind and it feels like all your insides get pushed backwards in your body.
 
Great coaster.

I bet the OP is pretty cool but I think that video makes king da ka look a lot more fun...and that only lasts like 10 seconds haha.

 
This one just opened in Japan, and it has the steepest drop in the world. 121 degrees or something. Thats steeper than straight down. Guinness Book of Records approved.

 
I've rode another one that doesn't go as fast, but it reaches 172 kmh in 1.8 sec, so the acceleration is even crazier. I love those kickstart rides, even though they look boring, when you're on a ride it's amazing.
 
(sorry for the triple post)

It's in the fuji-q highland park. I was there last year but this ride literally just opened. The park is not very big, but the rides are really great. The one I mentioned in my other post was there aswell.
 
Correct me if i am wrong but i am pretty sure going that fast, most everything would rip the skin clear off lol i don't think that was a legitimate concern.
