If you’re anything like me and crave speed and sky-high thrills, you’re going to love these roller coasters. I’ve been launched into heart-racing heights and taken on gravity-defying drops that still stick with me—and I promise, you won’t forget them either.

Highlights:

  • Ride Formula Rossa in Abu Dhabi—world’s fastest at 149 mph.
  • Launch to 128 mph on Kingda Ka in New Jersey.
  • Feel the G-force on Red Force in Spain’s Ferrari Land.
  • Race on Do-Dodonpa in Japan with insane acceleration.
  • Experience thrills on Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point (when open).
