Colossus, Thorpe Park, Surrey, England

Riders have to hold on to their hats (literally), as they fly upside down an awesome 10 times on the world’s first 10-loop roller coaster. With a vertical loop, cobra roll, two corkscrews, and five heart line twists, passengers won’t know which way is up as they travel more than 100 feet in the air along 2,789 feet of track on one of Thorpe Park’s most extreme rides. Colossus is so intense that an exact replica was built at Chime-Long Paradise amusement park in Guangzhou, China, called Tenth Ring so coaster fans all around the world can experience the white knuckle feeling of 10 inversions. If looping isn’t your cup of tea, then ride on X:\No Way out, the world’s first completely dark backwards roller coaster.
