22. Kingda Ka Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, U.S.
You must be at least 4.5 feet tall to ride the official fastest roller coaster in the U.S. This 456-foot tall ride has a special hydraulic launch mechanism that ensures the coaster reaches 128 m.p.h. in only 3.5 seconds. At one point the ride drops 418 feet straight down at a 270-degree angle. The ride lasts for only 28 seconds during which time it takes passengers on a portion of upside down track that gives them a momentary sense of weightlessness.
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??
