Nice try but no deal. There are only three roller coasters and the rest don't even qualify as coasters. And since when is kingda ka known as the "russian hill"? Who ever decided to rename it for the video should be ashamed, the coaster is in great adventure.

Anyway, the 5 scariest coasters are:

Kingda Ka
Top Thrill Dragster
X2
Hulk
Sheikra

I've ridden X2 and Top Thrill and found both to be fun but not scary. One of my all time favorites is the Millennium at Cedar Point. I like that much better than Top Thrill. the Hulk looks bad ass!

Sheikra was nothing IMO, I went on it 3 times in 1 day & it didn't bother me. I want a closed track where you try to outrun the law...that would be fun.

Hulk and Shiekra are great! I have always wanted to ride X. The Borg Assimilator at Carrowinds in SC was scary because I felt like I was gonna fall out of the harness.

Fujiyama - king of coasters at Fuji-Q highlands in Japan is the scariest I have ever been on. At the time I rode it, it was the 2nd tallest in the world (255 ft) and had the biggest drop (233 Ft). This was about 10 years ago, I am sure there are taller now. It had these evil cross bars that were placed in a way that you thought they would hit you in the forehead. (Especially being a 6'2" Amercan on a ride made for 4"11" Japanese people)

If anyone gets the chance, try Mt. Everest in Animal Kingdom Orlando ... It's the only coaster I've been on that stops and goes backwards ... It really screws up your senses when it does that ...

My favs are just about all of them at Cedar Point, with the Blue Streak being the one I hit first. I like the old school steel tracks, and the good clacking going up ...

There was a coaster at Six Flags in NJ that was point to point... I forgot what it was called though

Griffin at Busch gardens is pretty dang scary if you don't know the dang ride stops just over the crest of the first drop so you're just looking straight down at the ground.

Griffin and Sheikra are the same, I think. Griffin is at Williamsburg right? Sheikra is in Tampa. Different names to go with the park's theme. My wife is scared of heights and she damn near messed herself when that coaster stopped at the top of the hill. Good times...

skuttduck · 03-30-2010, 03:22 PM

The scariest one I've ever been on was Mr. Freeze at Six Flags in St. Louis Missouri.

Top thrill Dragster at Cedar Point was very scary for my wife, but I loved it.

I know that it's not scary but seeing as how there are only 2 (I think?) "dive" coasters and sheikra is better than griffon (I've been on both) I figure that it deserves to be there. It's not really scary at all but a lot of fun

I've never heard about those two, but the tallest and fastest is in my "home" theme park, 456 ft tall with a drop of 418 ft and it goes from 0-128 mph in like three seconds, pretty awesome. I doubt that any park will want to invest in a bigger one for a long time, seeing as how this one has a lot of down time
