The 50 Best Roller Coasters In The World, Ranked


2. Fury 325

Carowinds, Charlotte, North Carolina

Rating: 4.86/5

Fury 325 is truly gargantuan, with speeds topping out at 95 mph, a 320-foot drop, and 6,602 feet of track. It even passes over the entrance to the park, giving the guests below a considerable thrill as they wait to pass through the turnstiles. Fury 325 is a monster coaster for people who like to go fast, fall hard, and turn suddenly.

1. Steel Vengeance

Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio

Rating: 4.95/5

When it opened in 2018, Steel Vengeance shattered 10 roller coaster records:

  • Tallest hybrid roller coaster (205 feet)
  • Fastest hybrid roller coaster (74 mph)
  • Steepest drop on a hybrid roller coaster (90 degrees)
  • Longest drop on a hybrid roller coaster (200 feet)
  • Longest hybrid roller coaster (5,740 feet)
  • Most inversions on a hybrid roller coaster (4)
  • Fastest airtime hill on a hybrid roller coaster (74 mph)
  • Most airtime on a hybrid roller coaster (27.2 seconds)
  • Most airtime on any roller coaster (as above)
  • World's first "hyper-hybrid" roller coaster

The old coaster, Mean Streak, around which much of Steel Vengeance was built, was well-regarded. But Steel Vengeance takes the cake with, well... a vengeance.
