Love thrills? Some of the biggest and fastest roller coasters in the world are located right here in the United States. Here’s a list of the more terrifying coasters you can find on this side of the pond.
Kinda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure (New Jersey)
Kinda Ka is the record holder for the world’s tallest coaster. The coaster reaches heights of more than 400 feet and top speeds of 206 km/h. It’s not for the faint of heart.

Millennium Force at Cedar Point (Ohio)
Millennium Force stands proud at 310 feet. The Giga-Coaster reaches groundbreaking speeds of 93 mph, making it one of the faster coasters in the entire world.
