After much anticipation from thrill seekers and coaster enthusiasts, Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois has finally unveiled its newest roller coaster: Goliath. The wooden coaster officially opened its terrifying tracks to the public Thursday morning, breaking three world records in the process. Goliath is now the tallest, fastest and steepest wooden roller coaster in the world. Daring riders will reach speeds of 72 mph, after plunging from a height of 180 feet down a nearly vertical 85 degree drop.
Kingda Ka is the fastest roller coaster in the United States. It was the fastest coaster in the world for a few years but has since been eclipsed. (It is still the tallest, however.) It's similar to Top Thrill Dragster (although faster), but it feels rougher. If speed is what you are after, Kingda Ka delivers.
