Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson, N.J.

Although displaced as the world’s fastest roller coaster in 2009, Kingda Ka is still an adrenaline junkie’s dream. Rocketing from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds and hurling riders a record-breaking 456 feet in the air, this heart-pounding thrill ride twists and dips through more than 3,000 feet of track and a vertical 270-degree spiral. Kindga Ka is a steel, hydraulic launched coaster that opened in 2005 and gives more than 1,400 people per hour the ride of their lives. If Kingda Ka has impressed you, then visit the 13 other coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure, including the brand new floorless Bizarro, with seven loops and almost 4,000 feet of track.
