 Top 10 Scariest Roller Coasters in the World

10: Eejanaika, Fuji-Q Highland Park, Japan

Home to six headline-attracting roller coasters, including the record-breaking Takabisha, and one other under construction, Fuji-Q Highland Park is every roller coaster lover’s paradise. In particular, the 250-foot (76.2-meter) tall 4th Dimension Eejanaika coaster provides intense moments from the very start to finish.

At the start of your ride, the seats rotate, tilting you 90 degrees and flipping you almost upside down before pivoting to a more stable position as you mount the 249-foot (76-meter) lift hill. And that’s about the “slowest” part of the ride. After that, you’re all set for an insane experience. The seats rotate accordingly with every drop, rise up, and dip down. There will be moments when you’ll be facing down and staring at the ground below and others when you’re looking at the sky. 

9: Stealth, Thorpe Park, UK

Scary doesn’t begin to describe this coaster—”insane” is more like it. It drove one Youtuber to steal into the park and climb (without any safety harness) to the very top. The thing is 205 feet (62.5 meters) tall. I can’t even begin to think about all the things that could go wrong. With a top element that dominates the skyline, riders have a wonderful view of their surroundings but only fleeting seconds to appreciate it. At the station, the ride starts by accelerating from 0 to 82mph (132 km/h) in under two seconds—you’ll be thankful for those over-the-shoulder restraints. It then shoots upwards 205 feet (62.5 meters) and slows down at the peak before plunging fast an insanely steep drop towards the Rumba Rapid.

8: Cannibal Elevator Lift Coaster, Lagoon, Utah

The Cannibal coaster experience feels like a drop from heaven and into underworldly darkness. Phenomenal but definitely scary. The coaster is housed in a sinister-looking tower and bears a jungle theme; you’ll also see a few waterfalls scattered here and there. As you get on the train, you enter a dark-ish section and stop briefly before the train starts rising. You’re on an elevator lift hill that takes you up 208 feet (63.4 meters). Perhaps the setting is meant to build suspense for what’s coming next.

7: Maverick, Cedar Point, Ohio

Standing against mightier foes, including the Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster (oh well, that’s out now), Maverick seems almost out of order, but don’t let that fool you. This baby is powerful and offers riders relentless action that threatens to throw you off its back. It’s purposely violent and feels like it could tear off the tracks, pretty much feeding your adrenaline. At the start, the train is magnetically propelled up the 105-foot (32-meter) lift hill at a reasonable speed. After tilting at a 95-degree angle, the train drops 100 feet (30.5 meters), swoops around, climbs a hill, and embarks on a twisted horseshoe roll, flipping the train from one direction to the other.Wild banked turns will leave you all giddy and even thankful for the halfway point halt. 

6: Iron Gwazi, Busch Gardens, Tampa

Standing at 206 feet (62.8 meters) tall, Iron Gwazi sports an intimidating wooden structure with steel support columns, and you’re going to see a lot of it as your train takes the 90-degree drop and weaves through the crossovers. The train leaves the station and takes a sharp drop and unbanked turn before going up the lift hill. Ascension isn’t too fast, allowing you to catch great views of your surroundings and the coaster layout that you’ll be tackling. The real action starts when the train goes down the steep drop. It’s exhilarating and so out of control. 

5: Wildfire, Kolmarden, Sweden

Towering 187 feet (57 meters) above the ground, this wooden monstrosity holds its own among its metallic counterpart. Perhaps a little too well. It offers enthusiasts a hair-raising 160-foot (48.8-meter) drop, a bizarre outward bank tophat that makes for intoxicating sensations, and panoramic views of the vast forest and Swedish coast. Located within Kolmårdens Djurpark, the coaster is hidden from view thanks to the tree-filled mountainous terrain and takes about 30 minutes to reach (from the entrance). Wildlife exudes a rustic feel, with the station using rustic saws to decorate its walls and ceiling. Right after dispatch, the train turns into the lift hill, which is perhaps the only time you have to enjoy the views.

4: Thunder Dolphin, Tokyo Dome City, Japan

Smack in the middle of the city, this iconic coaster offers a thrilling ride with fantastic views of the city buildings and the streets below. Strangely, people are going about their business while you’re having the experience of a lifetime.  ride on this quirky coaster starts with a swift ascent on the lift hill to reach 262 feet (90 meters)t above the ground. From here, riders stare down at a 218-foot (66.5-meter) drop as the train swiftly plummets to the ground reaching speeds of 81mph (130.4 km/h). It feels like freefalling. After this, it’s more climbs and turns, flying past the side of the LaQua mall a little too closely before weaving through the roof of the mall. 

3: Time Traveler, Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

Imagine yourself all prepped for your ride, but a split second after you leave the station, your coaster car drops vertically 90 feet (27.4 meters). And there’s no telling which direction you’ll face when the drop happens. Depending on how your car rotates, it could be backward, forward, or sideways. The time traveler coaster literally adds a spin (pun intended) to riding. The coaster cars are mounted on round fins that allow them to rotate freely and onboard magnets that brake the turning and slow the spinning. You get to experience every element differently. One second, you’re diving headlong into a loop, and the next, you’re looking at the terrified face of the passengers in the next car or something else. The Time Traveler has an impressive theme. After walking into the entrance plaza, visitors are greeted by a gigantic clock sign with cool patterns in the back. 

2: Incredible Hulk Coaster, IOA, Universal Orlando

While most of us remember the awesome Dragon challenge coaster (no longer in existence) at the Islands of Adventure, MCU lovers (especially the Hulk fans) will enjoy this ride and its themes. The entrance sports the Incredible Hulk statue holding up a car ride. As you enter the queue, you find yourself in Gen. Thaddeus Ross’s lab as a test subject (to turn you into a Hulk, no doubt). The room and launch platform look very cool with gamma reactors and stuff. At the start of the ride, riders are dispatched to the gamma rays launch tunnel fitted with cool effects. 

1: Nemesis, Alton Towers Resort, England

Once upon a time, the creature Nemesis—from who knows which dimension—entered the Earth’s realm and dwelt in an underground lair. Away from the light and undisturbed by humans, the creature fell into an age-long sleep. But humans decided to dig up toward the Forbidden Valley. In anger, Nemesis unleashed an unimaginable terror on the world, and it took a team of brave warriors to pin it down with monstrous steel metal into the twisted roller coaster we see today. Well, that’s as far as the lore and theme go. It’s pretty fun, actually.
