Speed is one of the most important attributes of the roller coaster. And without it, the ride will not be as much fun. So without further ado, here is the speed comparison of the fastest roller coasters in the world.
1. Formula Rossa
With a top speed of 240 kph or 149 mph, the Formula Rossa in Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is currently the world’s fastest roller coaster since its public launch in 2010. And if we compare its speed to an animal, the world’s fastest roller coaster is twice as fast as a cheetah.
2. Kingda Ka
Located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, the Kingda Ka is currently the world’s second-fastest roller coaster, with a top speed of 206 kph or 128 mph. And if we compare its speed to another thing, the second-fastest roller coaster in the world will be three-fifths as fast as a Porsche 911.
3. Top Thrill Dragster
Opened in 2003, the Top Thrill Dragster located at Cedar Point, Ohio, is currently the world’s third-fastest roller coaster, with a top speed of 193 kph or 120 mph. And if we think about it differently, the Top Thrill Dragster’s maximum speed is about three times as fast as a Gazelle.
4. Do-Dodonpa
Opened in 2017, the Do-Donpa roller coaster located at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan is currently the world’s fourth fastest, with a maximum speed of 180 kph or 111.8 mph. And if we measure its speed to another thing, the Do-Donpa roller coaster can be about three-fifths as fast as a Lamborghini Gallardo.
4. Red Force
With a top speed of 180 kph or 111.8 mph, the Red Force roller coaster from Ferrari Land Spain is currently the world’s fourth-fastest roller coaster since its opening in 2017. And if we compare its speed to other things, the Red Force roller coaster would be about half as fast as a Porsche 911.
6. Superman: Escape from Krypton
Opened in 2011, the Superman: Escape from Krypton roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey is currently the world’s sixth-fastest roller coaster with a top speed of 161 kph or 100 mph. And if we compare its speed to an animal, it would be twice as fast as a Gazelle.
