44. Dodonpa Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park, Yamanashi, Japan
Japan’s fastest roller coaster can hit 107 m.p.h. In 1.8 seconds. At this speed, passengers will experience a temporary sense of floating. It travels almost three-quarters of a mile in only 55 seconds (the duration of the ride). Officially opened in 2001, it held the title of
world’s fastest coaster until 2003 when it was booted down by the Top Thrill Dragster in the U.S. It reaches a height of 171 feet. Passengers must be at least 4.27 feet tall.
You’re wrong about #10. The Fury 325 at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina is 325 high and reaches a top speed of 95mph. Both taller and faster than the Intimidator.
Hello,
I believe this article was published a couple years ago. My guess is either The Fury was not officially opened when the list itself was created or it was disqualified for one reason or another. It seems the list changes a bit every so often, in fact. But, hey, if there is enough interest in doing an updated article I will gladly write it.
Thanks for the comment though and your support!
nothing at Busch gardens in Tampa??
