Wicked Twister, Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio

Boasting the world record for most coasters—17—in one amusement park, it’s no wonder that this Mecca for thrill seekers has the tallest and fastest double twisting impulse coaster ever created. This seriously wicked ride propels riders forwards and backwards five times at increasing speeds while twisting up and down its 450-degree double-helix towers. The U-shaped track extends 215 feet in the air while riders hang suspended from the track, with their feet dangling perilously below. Aside from the adrenaline pumping experience, passengers have amazing views of Lake Erie and the entire amusement park so they can scope out the next ride—such as Top Thrill Dragster, the world’s second tallest and fastest coaster.
