The Top Three Roller Coasters to Ride Before You Die

These look fantastic, but far too terrifying for me. I don’t like to be off the ground. A good article.

I felt dizzy and a little queasy just looking at these pictures!

I think I’ll just stand here and look up at them as great feats of engineering

I know it is not statistically likely, but I think if I rode any of those, it would be the death of me. I’ll just be standing on solid ground with the first three commentators.

Wow. I have to ride all of these. I love coasters. Cool piece Nelson

Behemoth would kill me. I’d have to already be dead to get on Top Thrill Dragster. And Kingda Ka…I’d rather fight in Afghanistan for 6 months! But I’ll send this to my boys who would love these.

I think the Kingda Ka would scare the *%## out of me. I grew up in Michigan and when we were kids 25 years ago, we would go to Cedar Point and ride the Gemini and the Blue Streak. Lots of fun! Thanks for sharing and bringing back good memories.
Take care,
Chris

This was a very interesting article but I’ll just watch thank-you-very-much.

Oh my God – - I’m terrified just looking at them!! Great, fun article!!

Blessings.

Roller Coasters scare me to death. I rode one once and have never gotten on one again. The grandkids love them. Take care, Ruby

Great article! Thanks for the dizzying rides!

those look very dangerous!

Thanks! Enjoyed it, though since my head injury I can’t ride these things, I still enjoy seeing others get a thrill from them.
Thanks,

I love roller coasters. I’ll have to keep all in mind.

i would totally ride them at any time in my life wouldn’t you?

I think those look rly scary, and i would probably die on them, but if i knew i were to die that day, and i was there, i would definitly ride them!!!

I love rollercoasters and Kingda Ka is almost certainly a must-do seeing as it is the tallest in the world (though I live in England so it may be a little impractical :p). The others are very similar however and I would not have chosen them as a top three.

 Roller coaster in my country is not as high as like that perhaps.

i so have to ride some time in my life time. its a must do!!!

Before I die, I would like to ride those three roller coasters

when I’m old I still would never go on any of those scary rides that make you dizzy and puke. I’m worried I will puke on someone or I will die of fright. I’M SCARED

Right before a roller coaster ride, after I’ve paid my ticket, I get the sickest feeling in the world; in the pit of my stomach that lasts until we’re at the top of the first drop…and then we drop. And I want the ride to stop, because it feels so weird inside and this I can’t control. I don’t know why I put myself through this.

The thrill of waiting. The prospect of plummeting to the ground. The loss of control. Zero gravity. The fact that it ends. The experience…oh! I guess I DO know why I put myself through this.

I Rode top Thrill!!!! It kicks But!!!1

Hi there.

Behemoth is the current signature attraction in my home park and I’m glad its there.

And, judging from the responses of the people on this board, the 3 coasters you listed are probably the ones for them to ride before they die.

However, there are coasters that are far superior to Behemoth (I had really high hopes for that baby… but I can actually conduct a conversation with my riding buddy while riding it: so that should tell you something).

So, for starters, I can tell you that any of the Intamin “Superman: Ride of Steel” coasters are better than Behemoth. The closest one is now called Ride of Steel at Darien Lake in upstate New York. Actually *any* hyper coaster or launch coaster by Intamin is a MUST — Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster are good examples. There is also StormRunner at Hershey Park that is very VERY cool.

And hello!!! How about Millennium Force? Surely Top Thrill Dragster — as much fun as it is — is a short blast next to the extended mind-blowing speed of Millennium Force.

And, if we’re talking about the ultimate coaster experience that must be had before one dies: a person MUST ride the Guiness Book of World Records top bannanna for longest and fastest rollercoaster on the planet: THE BEAST in Cincinatti, Ohio.

The experience of THE BEAST is like nothing else on earth: a coaster that shakes you to the very core of your being.

And finally, one should — nay, one MUST experience X or X2 as it is now called over at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. Its a 4th dimension coaster with no track under or over you. Your feet dangle and the seats rotate 360 degrees. And you don’t know if you’re going forwards or backwards because at some points in the ride, you are facing backwards, then the seat flips and you’re facing forward. Need I say more?

i’ve been on the behemoth. i cried the first time i went on…. and then i went on five more times it’s amazing. it’s 87 DEGREES down from the top drop, which personally i didn’t even think was the worst drop.

as for the other two rollercoaters. i’ll keep those in mind.

if anyone ever gets a chance try a rollercoaster which to stand on, that’s a good thrill to

I better check out Kingda Ka – I can’t believe that the tallest roller coaster in the world is in my birth state!

holy moly i would want to get on that ride, great article man…

ive been on Kingda Ka and top thrill dragster I LOVE THEM!! but NOTHING compares to X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain, California. X2 will literally make you feel like you’re flying , or dying lol.

I’m not sure if it’s more terrifying or thrilling! and it makes you think you’re going to go through fire!

Behemoth is MY roller coaster haha i dont live anywhere near any of the other two, but im obsessed with thrill rides so i guess ill have to make a point about getting on them

MERRY CHRISTMAS~
