Where there are rollercoasters. The scariest slides in the water park. When can you come

Attractions, called roller coasters, are built in almost all countries of the world, including Russia. The Top of the most terrible of them included those that are in Japan, Australia and the USA.

The scariest rollercoaster in Russia

There are much fewer roller coasters in Russia than in the same America, Australia or Japan. They are not included in any of the compiled speed or altitude ratings.

Until now, there are disputes about the country in which the roller coaster was invented. According to one version - in America, according to another - in Russia. In many countries, this attraction is called not an American, but a rollercoaster. Read on for some of the scariest rollercoasters in Russia.

Yaroslavl, Damansky island

The roller coaster built in Yaroslavl in the park on Damansky Island is considered the highest in Russia. The name of the attraction is "Golden Arrow".

The height of the slides is twenty-five meters, the length of the path is one kilometer, the developed speed is eighteen kilometers. All turns "Strela" does in about a minute. There are some weight and height restrictions for those wishing to ride.

Omsk, amusement park

Rollercoasters appeared in Omsk in 2001. The attraction was built in the amusement park. The slides are distinguished by rather sharp changes in height, in addition, they also have one dead loop.

Not all of these slides seem extreme. Nevertheless, having swept on this attraction, you experience a unique feeling of fear and delight.

Novosibirsk, Central Park, slides "Galaktika"

Among the Siberian cities, not only Omsk, but also Novosibirsk can boast of an extreme attraction called roller coaster.

The Novosibirsk roller coaster "Galaktika" is a classic roller coaster. The attraction lifts passengers to a height of fourteen meters. The length of the path is four hundred and sixty meters, and the developed speed is fifty-five kilometers per hour.

Moscow, Izmailovo park, Dragon slides

One of the most extreme is the Dragon roller coaster located in the Izmailovsky Park of the capital. They lift riders to an eighteen-meter height, after which they make several steep descents and ascents, in addition, they have a dead loop.

The roller coaster in Gorky Park in Moscow is known throughout Moscow. Now they are not functioning. They are well replaced by slides in the Izmailovo park.

Top scariest rollercoasters

As you know, the most terrible roller coasters are in America, Japan and Australia. However, Europe is also joining the race for the title of the countries with the most terrible rollercoasters. Of all the roller coasters that exist today, a rating has been compiled, which includes the most breathtaking, the highest and the scariest of these rides.

Germany, Rust (Baden), Europa Park, Silver Star

The highest roller coaster in Europe is the Silver Star attraction, built and launched in 2002.

The attraction uses a system of chain lifts. The slide raises to a height of seventy-three meters, after which it circles and drops extreme sports enthusiasts at a speed of up to one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour. The site has a site not only about the scariest rollercoasters, but also about all the rides.

Australia, Queensland, Dreamworld, Tower of Terror II

The name of the roller coaster in Queensland is the Tower of Fear. It was launched for the first time in 1997. More than eight and a half million Australians managed to ride this attraction.

The re-launch was carried out in 2010, while the "Tower" became even scarier. At a speed of one hundred and sixty-one kilometers per hour, those who ride in just seven seconds rise to a height of thirty-five meters, after which they fall in horror to the bottom.

Japan, Mie Prefecture, Kavuna, Nagashima Spa Land, Steel Dragon 2000

For several years after its launch, the Steel Dragon 2000 or Steel Dragon roller coaster was considered the tallest and fastest in the world. Now this attraction has lost its leading position, but remains the most expensive and longest of these attractions.

The high cost of the "Steel Dragon" is due to the huge amount of steel used in its construction. Thus, the designers made the attraction resistant to earthquakes.

USA, New Jersey, Six Flags Great Adventure, Kingda Ka

Kingda Ka is the highest slides to date, their height reaches one hundred and thirty-nine meters. They are called a real long-liver in the world of roller coasters.

More than once, Kingda Ka had problems. So, in 2005, due to various kinds of mechanical damage, the rope system and the starting engine suffered. In 2009, the attraction was struck by lightning.

USA, Virginia, Kings Dominion, Intimidator 305

The roller coaster named "Intimidator 305" was named the best new roller coaster in 2010 and received the Golden Ticket award.

"Intimidator 305" translates as "Intimidator 305". It's scary even from the name. In fact, this name justifies itself, because it is not without reason that this attraction received an award.

Japan, Yamanashi Prefecture, Fujiyoshida, Fuji-Q Highland, Dodonpa

Dodonpa is a slide that cannot boast of either the longest length or the highest height. Among all of them, they stand out with the greatest acceleration.

The beginning on this hill is not the most frisky, which confuses the riders. Suddenly, Dodonpa accelerates in 1.8 seconds to one hundred and seventy-one kilometers per hour, throws riders up, and then throws down in a vertical loop.

USA, California, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Superman: Escape from Krypton

The name of this Californian extreme attraction is "Superman: Escape from Krypton". It is known that it was originally called "Superman: Breakout". The name changed in 2011 after some improvements that made the slides more scary.

Today "Superman" rises to a height of one hundred twenty-six and a half meters, developing a speed of up to one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour.

Japan, Tokyo, Tokyo Dome City, Thunder Dolphin

The name of the Tokyo coaster is translated as "Thunder Dolphin". These slides cannot boast of height, acceleration or speed. Their unusualness is in a special "trick".

The fact is that the path passes through a concrete ring. In addition, on the slides, the riders go around the building at a distance extremely close to the building, which cannot but tickle the nerves.

UAE, Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World, Formula Rossa

Today, Formula Rossa slides are considered the fastest in the world. In five seconds, they are able to accelerate to one hundred and forty kilometers per hour. Those who are in the first row on this attraction are given special glasses. Without them, extreme sports enthusiasts could damage their eyes.

Slides "Eejanaika" can be called bells and whistles, and this is not a figurative expression. This attraction is called 4D slides. Flying, falling and making loops, riding, sitting in chairs, rotate three hundred and sixty degrees. It seems that it is impossible to create a more terrible attraction.

The scariest rollercoaster in the world today

It is known that America is the leader in the number of the highest, scariest, fastest roller coasters. Recently, the Smiler rollercoaster was erected in London, claiming to be the scariest rollercoaster in the world.

Slides are located in Staffordshire in the amusement park. They were called the most extreme for the number of dead loops - there are fourteen of them. In addition to dead loops and speed, fans of extreme sports expect optical illusions that contribute to the fear.

Its height was 41 meters.

Schlitterbahn Water Park was opened last year. The steepest slide, Verrückt, reaches 52 meters in height, which is half a meter higher than the Statue of Liberty. The spiral climb takes professional risk-takers to the very top, where they break into teams of 4, sit on rubber rafts and rush down at a speed of 120 km / h.

Let's take a closer look at it...

"Verrückt" in German means "crazy" - in fact, only a crazy extreme and thrill-seeker will dare to ride the highest and fastest water slide.

The water slide "Verrückt" is officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest in the world: its height is 51.38 m

The Verrückt Meg-a-Blaster is a design triumph of insane proportions by Jeff Henry, co-owner and "evil genius" of Schlitterbahn Waterparks. Henry decided he wanted to build a record-breaking slide, which resulted in the creation of "Verrückt".

Photo 4.

The Verrückt has 4 people descending in parallel and, as Henry remarked, "It's a lot more fun to have someone yelling next to your ear." It all starts with a frightening fall from a 17-story height and continues with a small rise. And this is more than 180 meters of wet extreme. After the initial drop, which is steeper than any ski run, you reach a second five-story climb with new water technology.

The massive tower around which you will ascend to dizzying heights is made from railroad tank cars cut and welded together. The builders reuse the material to build the "Verrückt". The attraction differs from the Kilimanjaro in that it will be a raft ride and the body will not touch the surface. Although, of course, a raft is not a very comfortable transport when you fly 50 sheer meters down.

Verrückt is taller than Niagara Falls, the Statue of Liberty (from sandals to torch) and the Tower of London. It will not only be the highest slide in the world, but also the steepest and fastest. Henry says that “Verrückt will change the industry. The biggest challenge will be to find extreme people who will dare to go down.” If you're brave enough, visit Kansas City and challenge yourself!

And how do you like this roller coaster.

People often like to scare themselves. There are more and more adrenaline maniacs. This is the only reason why amusement parks exist. In them, people are seduced by a sense of anticipation before the trip, and then the adrenaline rush during entertainment. Most rides have some degree of risk, but some take the concept of risk to a whole new level.

1. Shivering Timbers

This ride is one of the biggest attractions at Michigan's Adventure. It is one of the five longest wooden slides in the world (1640 meters), and the speed on it reaches 105 km/h.

The slide consists of three "hills" about 30 meters high each and is clearly not for the faint of heart.

2. The Smiler

When you first look at this slide, it seems that it was created by a maniac.

The Smiler boasts the world record for the number of times a trolley "falls" down during a ride. The speed on this attraction is "only" 83 km / h.

3. El Toro

El Toro is Spanish for "bull". This is a 53-meter high slide, on which speeds up to 112 km / h develop. El Toro is one of the fastest and highest wooden slides in the world. Good luck in conquering this "bull".

4 Superman Escape

Who doesn't want to be superman and fly around the world. You can get that feeling at Warner Bros. Movie World in Queensland, Australia.

Considering that the carts on the Superman's Escape ride can reach 100 km/h in 2 seconds, this is already an outstanding achievement in itself, but there are also some crazy twists, flips and special effects during the ride.

5. Intimidator

Perhaps there is nothing more intimidating than standing in line for a roller coaster and looking up at the attraction reaching far into the sky. The height from which the trolley with visitors falls on the Intimidator is 70 meters (at an angle of 72 degrees), and the speed at the same time develops 128 km / h.

6 Stratosphere Tower

Surely everyone once wondered what it was like to hang at the level of the roof of a skyscraper when there was nothing under your feet. The crazy "stratospheric tower" in Las Vegas will help answer this question - the attraction is located at a height of 275 meters, while its visitors are "spun" at great speed. Anyone with a fear of heights should stay away from this ride.

7 Stealth

The Stealth slide is super-short, but the ride feels the same. First, people are lifted quite quickly to a height of 62 meters, and then the cart falls almost vertically at a speed of 128 km / h. In this case, overloads reach 4.5 g.

This is the first slide, the speed on which reached 160 km / h. First, the trailer with passengers is literally “shot” upwards, to a height of 115 meters, and then the trailer rushes to the ground in a completely free fall, finally sliding down an inclined overpass. To say it's scary is an understatement.

9. Hades 360

It would seem that the most ordinary old wooden slides, but appearances are deceiving. Not only does the speed of the trolley reach 112 km/h, it is the first wooden slide with a 360-degree roll and the longest underground tunnel in the world.

10. Wicked Twister

On the Wicked Twister attraction, visitors are accelerated to 115 km / h to a height of 65 meters. Then the booths with them spin up and accelerate in the opposite direction. And so again and again.

The Fury 325 has broken many records. The speed on the slide reaches 152 km / h, and the maximum height is 99 meters. In fact, at the time of construction, it was the highest and fastest slide in the world.

12. Formula Rossa

Perhaps you should not sit on this hill in a hat, as it will be blown away by the wind. Formula Rossa is the world's fastest roller coaster, reaching speeds of up to 239 km/h. And there is nothing surprising in its name, because the slide is located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.

The Top Thrill Dragster also broke many world records in its creation. Of course, today he was surpassed by Kingda Ka and Formula Rossa. But it is still unique in that it is one of only two complete slides with a 121-meter "drop" on the track.

14. Kingda Ka

So the turn has come to the highest and second fastest slide in the world. The height of Kingda Ka is 138 meters, and the speed of the trolley on it reaches 205 km/h.

Let's end the review on a not so terrible note. Wild One is older than most people on Earth. This ride was built in 1917 but has been in operation for over 100 years.

The ideal vacation is a concept that everyone understands in their own way. For some, an imposing pastime on the beach is optimal, while others get real pleasure from an active or even extreme vacation.

The heart beats faster, with every second a huge portion of adrenaline is released into the blood, and in the meantime the brain seems to turn off, but the brilliance of sensations does not decrease from this! Believe me, you will have enough impressions for many years if you dare to conquer the largest water slide in the world!

Summit Plummet

In a water park called Disney Blizzard Beach, which is located in Florida, there is one of the most extreme water slides - about 37 m in height. Despite the fact that the summer here is always sunny and rather hot, those wishing to descend from the Summit Plummet will find drifts of snow at the top and along the entire route, because of which this attraction looks rather unusual and looks more like a ski jump. But since the snow is artificial, the probability of freezing something for yourself is reduced to zero.

To climb the Summit Plummet you will not have to make any special efforts - there is a cable car for this. And if the climb is easy, then it is at the top of the water slide that you will have a very hard time. Why? Because you need to have nerves of steel to sit in a narrow gutter, let go of your hands and ... experience an incredible feeling when you are rapidly falling down at a speed of 100 km / h. Ready? Then Summit Plummet is waiting for you!

For more than 15 years, this slide has held the proud title of the highest water slide in the world. Its height is 41 m and it is located in the water park, which bears the name of Fortaleza Beach Park. And if you have planned your vacation in the Brazilian resort of Fortaleza, then you simply do not have the right to pass by its luxurious attraction, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Insano is a water slide that not everyone dares to slide down. Its descent is almost vertical, and in height it is equivalent to a 14-storey building. Anyone who dares to climb to the top of this Brazilian attraction will be able to find out what a bird's eye view is and fully enjoy the surrounding landscape.

But the view of the coast and the port city is not the main thing! You are at the top and now you should gather all your will into a fist and make a real flight down. Its duration does not exceed 7 seconds, but due to the huge speed, which is about 105 km / h, the sensations are incredible! During this short time you will experience amazing, incomparable feelings!

Verruckt

But the biggest dose of adrenaline awaits you in Kansas City, where the Verrückt slide awaits all the madmen in a park called Schlitterbahn. Only real daredevils are able to agree to this adventure, since this slide is not only the highest in the world, but also one of the most extreme. By agreeing to this flight, you get several pleasures at once:

• fast travel on a water slide;
• an incredible track design that wags like rails on an American roller coaster;
• amazing turns that make you fall down and immediately soar up.

And all this happens at an incredible speed, which reaches 120 km / h. The highest section of the Verrückt water slide is 52 m. And when compared with well-known buildings, then, for example, the Statue of Liberty will be half a meter lower than this attraction. The same can be said about some other world attractions, such as the Tower and Niagara Falls - they are also inferior in height to this amazing water slide.

In order to reach the top of the Verrückt you will need to overcome 264 steps. At the top, risk-takers are already waiting for rubber rafts, each of which can accommodate 3 people. And then only a dizzying flight from the height of a 17-storey building and another 180 m of incredible extreme! At the same time, the first fall is not the only one - immediately after it, you will be lifted to a height of about 5 floors and carried further along a narrow and, as it seems to many, an endless chute.

Do you want to tickle your nerves? Then you are on the highest water slide in the world!

Do you consider yourself a true adventurer? In this case, you will be interested to learn about the most exciting rides that mankind has just invented. In this article, we will present a list in the world and find out why they acquired their status.

Formula Rossa

To survey the largest in the world, perhaps, it is worth starting with the largest attraction located in the United Arab Emirates. It should immediately be noted that the presented structure is not the most massive on the entire globe. However, thrills are guaranteed to visitors of the attraction due to the crazy speed with which the trolleys move.

Having decided to take a ride on a roller coaster, extreme people get the opportunity to feel what it is like to race at a speed of 240 km / h along a cable car. At the same time, the peak height here reaches an indicator of 52 meters.

Alton Towers

The monumental building, which recently opened in the British Staffordshire, has as many as 14. This fact alone allowed the attraction to forever enter its name in the Guinness Book of Records.

The most extreme rollercoasters are the property of researchers who have long studied the true nature of human fears. Based on the data obtained, the engineers managed to develop a truly terrifying design.

In addition to the crazy speed, which reaches 85 km / h in some sections of the “track”, there are special effects in the form of holographic images that further increase the level of adrenaline.

Superman: Krypton Coaster

Considering the largest roller coaster in the world, you can not ignore the attraction located in Texas Six Flags Fiesta Park. Superman: Krypton Coaster is famous primarily for the presence of a huge dead loop. Its height at the extreme point reaches 44 meters. Being chained in the trolley, visitors to the attraction perform a full rotation of 360 degrees along such a terrifying trajectory.

Kingda Ka

The attraction, located in the Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park, can rightly be called "the largest roller coaster in the world." Its visitors are able to fully experience what happens if you go into a free fall from the height of a 45-story building.

At the same time, the biggest roller coaster in the world gives you the opportunity to ride along winding paths at great speed. Despite the fact that the journey in the trolley lasts no more than a minute, this is quite enough to raise the level of adrenaline in the blood for the rest of the day.

Silver Star

The biggest roller coaster in the world is impossible to imagine without an attraction called Silver Star. It is located in the German park "Europe". Such roller coasters are not only a favorite pastime of local residents, but also attract the attention of extreme people from all over the world. The attraction, designed by Mercedes-Benz engineers, reaches a height of 73 meters. Within an hour, about 1,700 visitors pass through it, who overcome winding slides at a speed of 130 km / h.

Steel Dragon 2000

The attraction, which is located in the Japanese amusement park "Nagashima", does not claim to be the "Biggest Roller Coaster in the World." However, the relatively small height, as well as the lack of lightning speed during the movement of trolleys, are fully compensated by the total length of local tracks. It is the duration of skiing that attracts the attention of fans of extreme pastime to such slides.

It is worth noting that Steel Dragon 2000 is the most massive attraction in history. It took an unimaginable amount of steel and concrete to build. The Japanese engineers were forced to implement such a decision by the increased seismic activity that is observed in the region. Given the likelihood of an earthquake during the ride on the attraction, it can be safely called one of the most frightening in the world.

Eejanaika

If we consider the largest roller coaster in the world, the attraction called Eejanaika, located in the Japanese amusement park Fuji Highland, should definitely be on the list. In addition to numerous take-offs to an impressive height, visitors can expect crazy flips around their own axis, passing a number of dead loops. All this makes even the most notorious extreme seeker feel genuine fear.

Tower of Terror

A roller coaster with such a frightening name is located in the city of Queensland (Australia). Visitors to the attraction, who dared to sit in local trolleys, soar with an arrow to a height of about 120 meters.

After stopping at the peak of the largest rise, there is a free fall, during which the riders find themselves in a state of complete weightlessness. Only after a few such hesitations are the rather frightened roller coasters allowed to leave the trolleys.

Finally

So we looked at where the largest roller coaster in the world is. Our review presents only a small fraction of the largest attractions on the planet. But it is they who look the most intimidating for true fans of extreme sports.
