Stratosphere_Las_Vegas

We invite you to the observation tower of the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel-casino. Its height is 350 meters! It is the second tallest observation tower in western hemisphere, only the CN Tower in Toronto is higher than it. But for this reason, the attractions located at the top of the Stratosphere are considered undeniable world leaders in height.

There is plenty to choose from - the Big Shot tower, the Insanity carousel, and the monstrous X Scream trailer. At the same time, all the emotions from these risky attractions can be safely increased several times. After all, they pass at an altitude of 300 meters!

From 1996 to 2005, the observation tower housed a roller coaster that was the tallest in the world. However, due to design limitations, the High Roller trolley could not reach high speed: it was simply impossible to accelerate on the small heel of the roof. Therefore, in 2005, the local roller coaster, which, by the way, is called Russian all over the world, was changed to the creepy Insanity carousel and the scary X Scream car, which we will tell you about below.

Catapult "Big Shot"

The Big Shot catapult was opened in 1996. This attraction is considered the highest on the planet: it is capable of lifting daredevils to a height of 329 meters, and then sending them from this very height into a free fall at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour and with an amazing acceleration of 4g. The Big Shot catapult is considered to be the best observation deck in the United States. But not all people have the courage, falling down at such speed, to enjoy the magnificent landscape outside the window.

Carousel"Insanity"("Madness")

Carousel Madness opened in 2005. This is the newest attraction of the Stratosphere, it is an ordinary carousel, only (!!!) it is considered the highest carousel on the planet, the movement on which is breathtaking. Imagine people spinning there over a three-hundred-meter abyss located 20 meters from the edge of the roof.

At the same time, the carousel rotates quite quickly, and the overload is 3g. Additionally, during the Madness spin, the daredevils are face down. It also remains to add that in such a carousel, passengers are placed not in closed, but in open cabins, so the sensation of spinning at breakneck speed over a bottomless abyss becomes even greater!

Car "X Scream"

The "X Scream" car appeared in 2005. It is considered the highest swing on the planet. Its essence is as follows: a short rail produces a rapid tilt, and the car at high speed rushes over the edge of a 350-meter roof into the abyss. Then the nose of the car brakes sharply, being far beyond the “solid ground.” This is one of the scariest rides in the world, and as you can even see from the photo, the fewest people want to ride it.

Free Fall Zone in Paramount, Ohio

The free fall zone at Paramount is a carousel platform that lifts those interested to a height of 100 meters (this is the height of a 26-story building) and drops them down at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. True, to begin with, at such a height, daredevils will be allowed to sit for a while and admire the wonderful panorama that opens, and then unexpectedly they will be sent off to a paid free fire! This is where there is a flurry of screams and adrenaline is produced furiously!

Catapult "Flying Dutchman"

The Flying Dutchman catapult helps people experience the beauty of extreme flight. So, at first all the cables are tightly stretched, and the “cocoon” with visitors froze in anticipation, but the operator presses a button and the mechanical locking is turned off, then the power to the magnet is turned off and the daredevils, with their own terrible screams, quickly fly up to a height of 40 meters!

To better imagine this, let's say that we're talking about about the height of a 15-story building. Then the “cocoon” comes back, and then soars up again. And so several times in a row, giving visitors an unforgettable flight experience!

As a bonus, the entire flight can be filmed with an “on-board” wireless color video camera. For many people, this subsequently becomes their favorite video - and allows them to experience the same emotions again and cause the envy of others. True, the management of the attraction still advises you to first watch the video filmed in extreme conditions for yourself: not everyone in such a catapult looks like fearless daredevils.

Well, and besides, look how gorgeous the Flying Dutchman catapult looks! The organizers created real light show, having a height of 35 meters. It remains to add that the dynamic lighting system consists of 2000 lamps, 36 channels and 6 colors.

"Catapult" - amusement park "Divo Island", St. Petersburg

It is very pleasant that the Russian “Catapult” is also included in the list of the most terrible attractions in the world. It is located in St. Petersburg in the Divo Island amusement park. This is an attraction whose height is 54 meters, which is higher than the previous “carousel”. It consists of three huge columns, to which powerful metal cables are attached.

The operators pull the cables, and one of the capsules quickly takes off, then it goes down, and then flies up again, and so on until it comes to a complete stop. In addition, during the flight the capsule also turns around its axis. At the same time, the attraction is also enchantingly illuminated, which adds undeniable sophistication and charm to it.

And now we are talking exclusively about roller coasters, since they are in the following list of the most terrible attractions. Apparently, in fact, there is nothing more terrible and dangerous than them!

Kingda Ka (New Jersey, USA)

Steel Dragon 2000 (Nagashima, Japan)

It’s not for nothing that the Steel Dragon roller coaster is translated as “Steel Dragon”. Its shape features a dragon's crest and it was erected in 2000, which according to eastern calendar, was considered the year of the Dragon. So, the slide itself is almost 100 meters high, which is comparable to a 30-story building. The length of the structure is 2479 meters, which makes it the longest roller coaster in the world.

Dodonpa (Fujiyoshida, Japan)

Visitors to the Dodonpa roller coaster in Japan claim that riding such an attraction makes you feel like being shot from a cannon, where you were the core. And this comparison is absolutely accurate, because the movement on the slide is 4 times higher than the acceleration of free fall. In this case, the train will accelerate in 2 seconds immediately to a speed of 172 kilometers per hour. The entire journey is only 55 seconds, but it can seem like an eternity on this Japanese roller coaster!

Silver Star (Europa Park,Germany)

Silver Star, located at Europa Park in Germany, is famous for being the largest roller coaster located in Europe. Their length is more than 1.5 kilometers, and their maximum height reaches 73 meters. Communication with such slides allows you to feel like a real fighter pilot. How could it be otherwise - the same turns, and the speed on the track in some places exceeds 100 kilometers per hour!

Tower of Terror II (Dreamworld,Queensland, Australia)

It is not for nothing that the name of the roller coaster Tower of Terror II in Australia is literally translated as Tower of Terror. In fact, people in it are under the influence of stunning emotions, and it’s impossible to get out - even if you really want to. So, visitors to the attraction first take off like an arrow to a height of 115 kilometers, and then, after a “steep” deceleration at altitude, they quickly fall down, leaving them in highest point aerobatics all your thoughts.

At the same time, the downward movement is carried out at wild speed in 6.9 seconds, which is close to a state of weightlessness. With such a fall, some people scream with all their might, others begin to pray, and still others are simply speechless. But the extreme does not end there: the trolley quickly rises up again and only then drops visitors off at the launch pad.

Intimidator 305 (a parkKings Dominion,Virginia, USA)

The Intimidator 305 roller coaster lives up to its name, as it is located in Virginia, in the United States of America, and not in Germany or Japan. Intimidator 305 is one of the most modern American attractions: the project is only one year old. The main feature of the slide is that the engineers created a 1.6-kilometer-long track with many sharp turns.

And certain climbs are designed specifically in such a way that visitors to the attraction get the impression that they are about to reach the end of the path!! - the trolley must definitely fall off the rails! As you can imagine, high-pitched screams of horror are commonplace here. And sometimes you can’t do without fainting...

Takabisha(a parkFuji- QHighland, Fujiyoshida, Japan)

The Takabis roller coaster was recently built in the land of the rising sun. This is a unique attraction that has the largest descent angle in the world. For this he was even included in the Guinness Book of Records. The Takabisha slides can tickle the nerves of even the most “advanced” daredevils. Look, in front of you is a one kilometer long track consisting of seven steep loops.

A special test of the psyche occurs on the descent with a record steep angle of incidence equal to 121 degrees. In addition, halfway through the journey, the trolley literally falls down from a height of 43 meters (which is approximately equal to the height of a 15-story building), and all this happens at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour! Then passengers also experience rapid takeoffs and falls again, almost to a state of weightlessness. Thanks to such turns, many Japanese even temporarily acquire a European appearance, well, judging by their enlarged eyes!!

Thunder Dolphin (Tokio Dome City,Japan)

Known for its unique design, the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster is located in Tokyo, Japan. The ribbon of a dizzying track wraps around a specially erected hollow structure. Seat belts are fastened and visitors are off! And it all starts with a stunning 65-meter drop down a steep 80-degree slope. The trolley is then driven through two openings in buildings, which is also a test of fearlessness. In total, the race takes place at a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour and looks like an endless series of ups, downs, and also flying through round holes.

At the same time, the second photograph shown to you allows you to imagine how a person who is about to fly down feels! Agree that just the sight of this dizzying height makes your heart clench with fear. However, we all think at the same time, “Wow! What height!" and with white envy we envy the lucky ones - the visitors of this attraction!

Formula Rossa (Ferrari World,Abu- Dabi, UAE)

Formula Rossa is the fastest roller coaster in the world. The trolleys of this attraction accelerate to 240 kilometers per hour. And this speed is achieved in just about 4.9 seconds. Perhaps it is precisely in this short time that visitors to the carousel manage to flash their whole life before their eyes. At least they leave the trailers with completely different facial expressions than at the beginning!

But it doesn't stop when you reach breakneck speed in the Formula Rossa attraction. On the contrary, this is only the beginning of a balancing act along the way. The track represents the legendary Monza race track, which is famous a huge amount the steepest ascents and descents. Many racers train on this track, for whom, after such sharp turns, ordinary competition tracks seem like playing with cars on the floor of the house.

The degree of speed on this roller coaster is evidenced by the fact that those wishing to ride here are only allowed to wear special safety glasses, which are issued by the instructors. Otherwise, there is a risk of colliding with dust particles in the air at high speed and may cause eye injury. However, in the presented photograph for some reason this requirement is not met... But it remains to add that the height of the Formula Rossa, which, by the way, is located in United Arab Emirates, is 52 meters, and the maximum overload corresponds to 4.8 g.

Furius Baco (Port Aventura Park, Spain)

The Spanish roller coaster Furius Baco is unique in its own way. The trolleys immediately accelerate to an incredible speed from the start - 135 kilometers per hour! And this happens in just 3.0 seconds. It is important that the acceleration value is 10.7 meters per second, while the free fall acceleration rate is 9.8 meters per second. At such moments, the public's reaction can be described as a transition from a heart-rending scream to deathly silence in anticipation of imminent death.

Thrills also arise from the unusual design of the seats, which are placed on the sides of the rails. This ensures that daredevils literally float in the air and do not feel any support under their feet. Their entire journey lasts a few minutes: they conquer 850 meters of path, and at the end they rush a couple of centimeters above the surface of the water, which is very refreshing in the Spanish summer heat.

In total, the race takes place at a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour and looks like an endless series of ups, downs, and also flying through round holes.

At the same time, the second photograph shown to you allows you to imagine how a person who is about to fly down feels! Agree that just the sight of this dizzying height makes your heart clench with fear. However, we all think at the same time, “Wow! What height!" and with white envy we envy the lucky ones - the visitors of this attraction!

Formula Rossa (Ferrari World,Abu- Dabi, UAE)

Formula Rossa is the fastest roller coaster in the world. The trolleys of this attraction accelerate to 240 kilometers per hour. And this speed is achieved in just about 4.9 seconds. Perhaps it is precisely in this short time that visitors to the carousel manage to flash their whole life before their eyes. At least they leave the trailers with completely different facial expressions than at the beginning!

But it doesn't stop when you reach breakneck speed in the Formula Rossa attraction. On the contrary, this is only the beginning of a balancing act along the way. The track is the legendary Monza race track, which is famous for its huge number of steep climbs and descents. Many racers train on this track, for whom, after such sharp turns, ordinary competition tracks seem like playing with cars on the floor of the house.

The degree of speed on this roller coaster is evidenced by the fact that those wishing to ride here are only allowed to wear special safety glasses, which are issued by the instructors. Otherwise, there is a risk of colliding with dust particles in the air at high speed and may cause eye injury. However, for some reason this requirement is not met in the presented photograph... But it remains to add that the height of the Formula Rossa, located, by the way, in the United Arab Emirates, is 52 meters, and the maximum overload corresponds to 4.8 g.

Furius Baco (Port Aventura Park, Spain)

The Spanish roller coaster Furius Baco is unique in its own way. The trolleys immediately accelerate to an incredible speed from the start - 135 kilometers per hour! And this happens in just 3.0 seconds. It is important that the acceleration value is 10.7 meters per second, while the free fall acceleration rate is 9.8 meters per second. At such moments, the public's reaction can be described as a transition from a heart-rending scream to deathly silence in anticipation of imminent death.

Thrills also arise from the unusual design of the seats, which are placed on the sides of the rails. This ensures that daredevils literally float in the air and do not feel any support under their feet. Their entire journey lasts a few minutes: they conquer 850 meters of path, and at the end they rush a couple of centimeters above the surface of the water, which is very refreshing in the Spanish summer heat.
