5 Most Dangerous Rides In The World 

Some of the most dangerous amusement park rides in the world are notorious for their high speeds, extreme heights, and risky designs. Here are some that stand out, often due to past incidents or safety concerns:

1. Action Park - New Jersey, USA

Cannonball Loop: This infamous ride, which was closed in the 1980s, featured a vertical loop on a water slide that resulted in numerous injuries. Known for its lack of safety, Action Park was even nicknamed “Accident Park” due to frequent visitor injuries.

2. Kingda Ka - Six Flags Great Adventure, USA

Known as the tallest and second fastest roller coaster in the world, Kingda Ka launches riders to 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds and takes them 456 feet up before a 270-degree spiral back down. High-speed launches and extreme heights can make it intimidating and risky.

3. Takabisha - Fuji-Q Highland, Japan

Featuring a beyond-vertical drop at 121 degrees, Takabisha holds the world record for the steepest roller coaster. This ride combines extreme drops, loops, and a sudden stop, which can be overwhelming for some riders.

4. Formula Rossa - Ferrari World, UAE

The world’s fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa reaches speeds up to 149 mph in under five seconds, subjecting riders to intense G-forces. Safety goggles are mandatory due to wind and speed concerns, showing the extremity of the ride’s conditions.

5. Sky Tower - Tivoli Friheden, Denmark

This free-fall ride drops riders without cables or harnesses, relying on a net to catch them from a 100-foot drop. The extreme free-fall element adds an intense level of danger and has led to safety concerns over the years.
