Question Asked: What Is the Fastest Roller Coaster in the World?
According to various sources, the Kingda Ka (pictured below) is the fastest roller coaster in the world.
With a top speed of 128 miles per hour, it’s the fastest there is. Oh, and it’s also the tallest. It’s at Six Flags Great Adventure, in New Jersey. It’s been about 13 years since I’ve been down there, but it might be worth taking a trip again!
The top five fastest roller coasters are listed below:
- Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson Township, New Jersey, USA, 128 MPH
- Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, USA, 120 MPH
- Dodonpa at Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan, 106.9 MPG
- Superman The Escape at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, California, USA, 100 MPH
- Tower of Terror at Dreamworld, Coomera, Queensland, Australia, 100 MPH
Those are some serious coasters, with some serious speed. Not for the faint hearted.
Just look at the drop in the Kingda Ka to the right. That’s enough to make anyone pee their pants!
Question Asked: What’s the Fastest Car Ever Made?
The fastest car produced today (and is legal in most some countries) is the Barabus TKR.
With a top speed of 270 MPH, and a blistering 0-60 speed of 1.67 seconds, nothing else comes close (even Formula1 racers)
Sure, it screams “look at me! look at me!”, but at 270 MPH, who’s going to catch up to you to give you crap about how stupid your car looks?
Oh, and don’t hit any pebbles, or speed bumps, because your carbon fiber car will fall apart. That’s assuming you can afford the $1.1 million price tag.
