Mega, Ultra and Giga Coasters: World Scarriest, Fastest and Highest Roller Coaster

Last time when i am small, i am afraid of the height. So when i visited theme parks with my family, i never dare to ride on them. One time, my cousins force me to take a ride at Genting Theme Park and it nearly blow off my heart. I cried all the way inside the ride and when i am down, i nearly puke. Imagine the fright i have during that ride. After that for the rest of the day, i could not even look at another ride anymore. People will have this impression that after this ride, i would not take another ride anymore in my life. But practically they are wrong because after this i begin to enjoy the thrill of riding roller coaster and when you look at the people around you shouting all they way, the fun and excitement is unimaginable. Below are some of the worlds top Roller Coasters:

Millennium Force: Cedar Point

Millennium Force
Millenium Force is voted number one steel roller coaster in the world in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket awards five times since the year 2001 and stands taller than 300 feet at its highest point.

Top Thrill Dragster: Cedar Point

Top Thrill Dragster
Known to the world as the first Strata Coaster, it measures more than 400 feet tall and the dragster speed can reach up to 120mph. Imagine the thrill you get at this height with this speed.

The Steel Dragon: Nagashima Spa Land Amusement Park

The Steel Dragon
The name of this ride was derived from the year of the dragon. The track is consider the longest in the world measuring 8133 feet, 2 inches (2479m) in length. I am sure to puke myself out in this ride.

Kingda Ka: Six Flags

Kingda Ka
When it open its door to the public, it became the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, claiming the title from Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. It reaches speeds of 128mph and stands close to 456 feet high and has a drop of 418 feet.
