Dangerous attractions of the world. The best amusement parks in the world

Single bursts of adrenaline, which come and go in rapid waves - something like when you are racing, say, in a loop at a speed of 150 km/h - are simply life-saving because they fill us with energy and mobilize us to immediate reactions. A sudden rush of oxygen into the blood stimulates the entire circulatory system, the defense system, and also sends a command to the brain to release painkillers endorphin and dopamine for us, which improve our well-being.

So, if you don't faint at the sight of the "Tea Couple", then you will get acquainted with the scariest attractions in the world! There is no specific rating here. Everyone's fears are different. Some are afraid of speed, others of sudden falls, etc. So we choose the worst thing for ourselves and go to conquer.

Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Stratosphere Observation Tower is located in, you guessed it, Las Vegas. This is the second tallest observation tower in the Western Hemisphere, its height is 350 meters. At the top are the coolest rides in the world.

The Big Shot catapult will take you to a height of 329 meters and fall down at breakneck speed. According to eyewitnesses, this is the scariest attraction in the world.

Carousel Madness is a regular carousel, but it is 300 meters high and while spinning, passengers are face down. This creates the feeling that you are floating over an abyss.

The "X Scream" car is the tallest swing on the planet. The trolley is on a short rail, the rails tilt and the trolley goes over the edge of the roof. In this case, the nose of the trailer is outside the roof, as if in free flight.

Free Fall Zone in Paramount, Ohio.

The platform of this “carousel” takes you to a height of 26 floors, or 100 meters. "Are you afraid of heights?" But this is not a reason to scream and actively produce adrenaline! After “examining the surroundings,” the daredevils fly down at a speed of more than 100 km/h.

Flying Dutchman catapult, 35m high.

When the cables are fully tensioned, the operator, by pressing a button, turns off the mechanical locking, and then the power to the magnet, and the “cocoon” with visitors quickly flies up to a height of up to 40 m. Just imagine being at the height of a 15-story building in a matter of seconds! Then the “cocoon” flies down, then up again, and so on several times in a row. The feeling of such a flight is never forgotten!

The most remarkable thing is that the entire flight, at the request of visitors, can be recorded right on the spot using an “on-board” wireless color video camera. In addition, we can show all this hellish action to our acquaintances and friends through a DVD player. But it’s better to watch it first, alone or together, so as not to spoil your reputation in the eyes of others.

"Catapult", in the amusement park "Divo Island" St. Petersburg.

The attraction is 54 meters high (i.e. we conclude that it is higher than the previous one), consisting of three huge columns to which metal cables are attached. When the cables are pulled, one of the capsules rapidly flies up and then falls down - and so on until it comes to a complete stop. It is noteworthy that during the flight the capsules also turn around their axis. The system is the same, the swing is higher than the previous one, but somehow in “The Dutchman” everything is so enchantingly illuminated that he jumped out of line.

Kingda Ka (New Jersey, USA)

Year of opening: 2005 Height: 139 meters. The tallest metal slide in the world.

Dodonpa (Fujiyoshida, Japan)

Those who have ridden this rollercoaster claim that it feels as if there was a shot from a cannon, where the passenger was the cannonball. Which, in principle, is not surprising given that the acceleration of free fall is four times higher. The train accelerates to 172 kilometers per hour in less than 2 seconds. The entire journey of 55 seconds can seem like an eternity.

Silver Star (Europa Park, Germany)

The largest roller coaster in Europe, Silver Star, is just over 1.5 kilometers long and has a maximum height of 73 meters. Taking a ride on them, you can feel like a real fighter pilot: at some moments the speed on the track exceeds 100 kilometers per hour!

Tower of terror II (Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia)

Visitors to The Tower of Terror shoot up to a height of 115 meters like an arrow. After a rather sharp deceleration at the top, some passengers lose all thoughts. Having fallen down in 6.9 seconds at wild speed and experiencing a state of weightlessness, the other part of the thrill seekers are speechless. But the adventures do not end there - the trolley quickly rises again and only then drops off the guests at the starting point.

Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion Park, Virginia, USA)

Intimidator 305 is one of the most modern American attractions. The project was launched last year. Engineers created many sharp turns on the 1.6-kilometer-long track.

The kilometer-long roller coaster track will tickle the nerves of daredevils riding on seven loops, and extreme sports enthusiasts can test their psyche on the descent with a record fall angle of 121 degrees. In the middle of the journey, from a 43-meter height (the height of a 15-story building), the trolley literally falls down and almost instantly accelerates to about 100 kilometers per hour. Coupled with the breakneck speed, passengers find themselves in a state of complete weightlessness for several moments.

Thunder Dolphin (Tokio Dome City, Japan)

The Thunder Dolphin attraction is known for its unique structure. The track wraps around a specially built hollow structure. The start begins with a dizzying 65-meter drop from an 80-degree slope. During the journey, the train passes through two openings of the building, which makes the heart beat faster. The race on the track takes place at a maximum speed of about 130 kilometers per hour.

Formula Rossa (Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, UAE)

Formula Rossa is the world's fastest roller coaster. The ride's trolley accelerates to 240 kilometers per hour in approximately 4.9 seconds. It’s not a fact that before the eyes of the attraction’s voluntary victims their lives flash in every detail, but the balancing act continues along the way. On the track, which takes the form of the legendary Monza race track, trolley pilots will experience many ups and downs. Due to the high speed and possible risk of colliding with particles in the air, riders are required to wear special safety glasses. After the ride ends, employees prepare seats for new adrenaline seekers.

Height - 52 m
Maximum speed - 240 km/h
Trip duration - 1:33
Maximum overload - 4.8g
Height limit - 130 cm

Furius Baco (Port Aventura Park, Spain)

The speed on the Furius Baco is incredible. Immediately from the start, it accelerates to 135 kilometers per hour in just 2.9-3.5 seconds, while the acceleration is approximately 10.7 m/s, which exceeds the acceleration of free fall (9.8 m/s). The public's reaction varies from heart-rending screaming to mute silence in anticipation of imminent death. Adding to the thrill is the unusual design of the seats, which are located on the sides of the rail, so that travelers literally hang in the air, without feeling any support under their feet. At the end of the 850-meter route, the trolleys are literally a couple of centimeters above the water, which turns out to be even pleasant in the Spanish summer heat.

We present to your attention the most scary rides peace. The selection includes the most dangerous "carousels" from all over the planet, so it's time to buckle up and be brave!

Scientific research has shown that adrenaline is an excellent tool in the fight against stress, and since there are plenty of problems in our lives, everything more people feel the desire to encounter something dangerous, scary, which makes adrenaline run through the veins and make the heart beat faster.

Attractions in this regard today occupy a leading place. Flying at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, falling into a loop and immediately being thrown up - this will give anyone an adrenaline rush. At the same time, we will not rank the scariest attractions in this article, since everyone has different fears - some are afraid of heights, and others of sudden turns.

Stratosphere_Las_Vegas

We invite you to the observation tower of the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel-casino. Its height is 350 meters! It is the second tallest observation tower in the Western Hemisphere, surpassed only by the CN Tower in Toronto. But for this reason, the attractions located at the top of the Stratosphere are considered undeniable world leaders in height.

There is plenty to choose from - the Big Shot tower, the Insanity carousel, and the monstrous X Scream trailer. At the same time, all the emotions from these risky attractions can be safely increased several times. After all, they pass at an altitude of 300 meters!

From 1996 to 2005, the observation tower housed a roller coaster that was the tallest in the world. However, due to design limitations, the High Roller trolley could not reach high speed: it was simply impossible to accelerate on the small heel of the roof. Therefore, in 2005, the local roller coaster, which, by the way, is called Russian all over the world, was changed to the creepy Insanity carousel and the scary X Scream car, which we will tell you about below.

Catapult "Big Shot"

The Big Shot catapult was opened in 1996. This attraction is considered the highest on the planet: it is capable of lifting daredevils to a height of 329 meters, and then sending them from this very height into a free fall at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour and with an amazing acceleration of 4g. The Big Shot catapult is considered to be the best observation deck in the United States. But not all people have the courage, falling down at such speed, to enjoy the magnificent landscape outside the window.

Carousel"Insanity"("Madness")

Carousel Madness opened in 2005. This is the newest attraction of the Stratosphere, it is an ordinary carousel, only (!!!) it is considered the highest carousel on the planet, the movement on which is breathtaking. Imagine people spinning there over a three-hundred-meter abyss located 20 meters from the edge of the roof.

At the same time, the carousel rotates quite quickly, and the overload is 3g. Additionally, during the Madness spin, the daredevils are face down. It also remains to add that in such a carousel, passengers are placed not in closed, but in open cabins, so the sensation of spinning at breakneck speed over a bottomless abyss becomes even greater!

Car "X Scream"

The "X Scream" car appeared in 2005. It is considered the highest swing on the planet. Its essence is as follows: a short rail produces a rapid tilt, and the car at high speed rushes over the edge of a 350-meter roof into the abyss. Then the nose of the car brakes sharply, being far beyond the “solid ground.” This is one of the scariest rides in the world, and as you can even see from the photo, the fewest people want to ride it.

Free Fall Zone in Paramount, Ohio

The free fall zone at Paramount is a carousel platform that lifts those interested to a height of 100 meters (this is the height of a 26-story building) and drops them down at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. True, to begin with, at such a height, daredevils will be allowed to sit for a while and admire the wonderful panorama that opens, and then unexpectedly they will be sent off to a paid free fire! This is where there is a flurry of screams and adrenaline is produced furiously!

Catapult "Flying Dutchman"

The Flying Dutchman catapult helps people experience the beauty of extreme flight. So, at first all the cables are tightly stretched, and the “cocoon” with visitors froze in anticipation, but the operator presses a button and the mechanical locking is turned off, then the power to the magnet is turned off and the daredevils, with their own terrible screams, quickly fly up to a height of 40 meters!

To better imagine this, let's say that we're talking about about the height of a 15-story building. Then the “cocoon” comes back, and then soars up again. And so several times in a row, giving visitors an unforgettable flight experience!

As a bonus, the entire flight can be filmed with an “on-board” wireless color video camera. For many people, this subsequently becomes their favorite video - and allows them to experience the same emotions again and cause the envy of others. True, the management of the attraction still recommends filming first extreme conditions Watch the video for yourself: not everyone in such a catapult looks like fearless daredevils.

Well, and besides, look how much the catapult " Flying Dutchman"looks great! The organizers created a real light show, 35 meters high. It remains to add that the dynamic lighting system consists of 2000 lamps, 36 channels and 6 colors.

"Catapult" - amusement park "Divo Island", St. Petersburg

It is very pleasant that the Russian “Catapult” is also included in the list of the most terrible attractions in the world. It is located in St. Petersburg in the Divo Island amusement park. This is an attraction whose height is 54 meters, which is higher than the previous “carousel”. It consists of three huge columns, to which powerful metal cables are attached.

The operators pull the cables, and one of the capsules quickly takes off, then it goes down, and then flies up again, and so on until it comes to a complete stop. In addition, during the flight the capsule also turns around its axis. At the same time, the attraction is also enchantingly illuminated, which adds undeniable sophistication and charm to it.

And now we are talking exclusively about roller coasters, since they are in the following list of the most terrible attractions. Apparently, in fact, there is nothing more terrible and dangerous than them!

Kingda Ka (New Jersey, USA)

The Kinga Ka roller coaster opened in New Jersey in 2005. Their height is 139 meters. They are the tallest metal slide in the world. It is also one of the fastest rides in the world. Using a hydraulic mechanism, the trolley accelerates to a speed of 205 kilometers per hour in 3.5 seconds! In the spring of 2009, Kinga Ka was struck by lightning. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but complex repairs to the slides were then necessary. But today the attraction is again in operational readiness and happily welcoming visitors.

Colossus, England

The Colossus roller coaster is located in England, in the city of Chertsey, and more specifically in Thorpe Park. They rightfully bear the title of the world's tightest steel roller coaster. They are located at an altitude of 30 meters, the length of the track is 850 meters, and the maximum speed is 65 kilometers per hour. The track is designed so that you can end up upside down exactly 10 times and then return to your normal position.

White Cyclone, Japan

The White Cyclone roller coaster in Japan is 42 meters high (the height of a 14-story building). Their length is 1.7 kilometers, and their maximum speed is 100 kilometers per hour. Look at the photo: you will agree that this device amazes not only with its technical characteristics, but also excellent performance.

Son of beast (Cincinnati, USA)

In 2000, the unique Son of beast roller coaster appeared in the USA. The fact is that it is considered the tallest wooden slide in the world: its height is 66 meters! Until 2006, this attraction was generally recognized as the only wooden slide in the world with a loop.

Steel Dragon 2000 (Nagashima, Japan)

It’s not for nothing that the Steel Dragon roller coaster is translated as “Steel Dragon”. Its shape features a dragon's crest and it was erected in 2000, which according to eastern calendar, was considered the year of the Dragon. So, the slide itself is almost 100 meters high, which is comparable to a 30-story building. The length of the structure is 2479 meters, which makes it the longest roller coaster in the world.

Dodonpa (Fujiyoshida, Japan)

Visitors to the Dodonpa roller coaster in Japan claim that riding such an attraction makes you feel like being shot from a cannon, where you were the core. And this comparison is absolutely accurate, because the movement on the slide is 4 times higher than the acceleration of free fall. In this case, the train will accelerate in 2 seconds immediately to a speed of 172 kilometers per hour. The entire journey is only 55 seconds, but it can seem like an eternity on this Japanese roller coaster!

Silver Star (Europa Park,Germany)

Silver Star, located at Europa Park in Germany, is famous for being the largest roller coaster located in Europe. Their length is more than 1.5 kilometers, and their maximum height reaches 73 meters. Communication with such slides allows you to feel like a real fighter pilot. How could it be otherwise - the same turns, and the speed on the track in some places exceeds 100 kilometers per hour!

Tower of Terror II (Dreamworld,Queensland, Australia)

It is not for nothing that the name of the roller coaster Tower of Terror II in Australia is literally translated as Tower of Terror. In fact, people in it are under the influence of stunning emotions, and it’s impossible to get out - even if you really want to. So, visitors to the attraction first take off like an arrow to a height of 115 kilometers, and then, after a “steep” deceleration at altitude, they quickly fall down, leaving them in highest point aerobatics all your thoughts.

At the same time, the downward movement is carried out at wild speed in 6.9 seconds, which is close to a state of weightlessness. With such a fall, some people scream with all their might, others begin to pray, and still others are simply speechless. But the extreme does not end there: the trolley quickly rises up again and only then drops visitors off at the launch pad.

Intimidator 305 (a parkKings Dominion,Virginia, USA)

The Intimidator 305 roller coaster lives up to its name, as it is located in Virginia, in the United States of America, and not in Germany or Japan. Intimidator 305 is one of the most modern American attractions: the project is only one year old. The main feature of the slide is that the engineers created a 1.6-kilometer-long track with many sharp turns.

And certain climbs are designed specifically in such a way that visitors to the attraction get the impression that they are about to reach the end of the path!! - the trolley must definitely fall off the rails! As you can imagine, high-pitched screams of horror are commonplace here. And sometimes you can’t do without fainting...

Takabisha(a parkFuji- QHighland, Fujiyoshida, Japan)

The Takabis roller coaster was recently built in the land of the rising sun. This is a unique attraction that has the largest descent angle in the world. For this he was even included in the Guinness Book of Records. The Takabisha slides can tickle the nerves of even the most “advanced” daredevils. Look, in front of you is a one kilometer long track consisting of seven steep loops.

A special test of the psyche occurs on the descent with a record steep angle of incidence equal to 121 degrees. In addition, halfway through the journey, the trolley literally falls down from a height of 43 meters (which is approximately equal to the height of a 15-story building), and all this happens at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour! Then passengers also experience rapid takeoffs and falls again, almost to a state of weightlessness. Thanks to such turns, many Japanese even temporarily acquire a European appearance, well, judging by their enlarged eyes!!

Thunder Dolphin (Tokio Dome City,Japan)

Known for its unique design, the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster is located in Tokyo, Japan. The ribbon of a dizzying track wraps around a specially erected hollow structure. Seat belts are fastened and visitors are off! And it all starts with a stunning 65-meter drop down a steep 80-degree slope. The trolley is then driven through two openings in buildings, which is also a test of fearlessness. In total, the race takes place at a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour and looks like an endless series of ups, downs, and also flying through round holes.

At the same time, the second photograph shown to you allows you to imagine how a person who is about to fly down feels! Agree that just the sight of this dizzying height makes your heart clench with fear. However, we all think at the same time, “Wow! What height!" and with white envy we envy the lucky ones - the visitors of this attraction!

Formula Rossa (Ferrari World,Abu- Dabi, UAE)

Formula Rossa is the fastest roller coaster in the world. The trolleys of this attraction accelerate to 240 kilometers per hour. And this speed is achieved in just about 4.9 seconds. Perhaps it is precisely in this short time that visitors to the carousel manage to flash their whole life before their eyes. At least they leave the trailers with completely different facial expressions than at the beginning!

But it doesn't stop when you reach breakneck speed in the Formula Rossa attraction. On the contrary, this is only the beginning of a balancing act along the way. The track is the legendary Monza race track, which is famous for its huge number of steep climbs and descents. Many racers train on this track, for whom, after such sharp turns, ordinary competition tracks seem like playing with cars on the floor of the house.

The degree of speed on this roller coaster is evidenced by the fact that those wishing to ride here are only allowed in special safety glasses, which are issued by instructors. Otherwise, there is a risk of colliding with dust particles in the air at high speed and may cause eye injury. However, in the presented photograph for some reason this requirement is not met... But it remains to add that the height of the Formula Rossa, which, by the way, is located in United Arab Emirates, is 52 meters, and the maximum overload corresponds to 4.8 g.

Furius Baco (Port Aventura Park, Spain)

The Spanish roller coaster Furius Baco is unique in its own way. The trolleys immediately accelerate to an incredible speed from the start - 135 kilometers per hour! And this happens in just 3.0 seconds. It is important that the acceleration value is 10.7 meters per second, while the free fall acceleration rate is 9.8 meters per second. At such moments, the public's reaction can be described as a transition from a heart-rending scream to deathly silence in anticipation of imminent death.

Thrills also arise from the unusual design of the seats, which are placed on the sides of the rails. This ensures that daredevils literally float in the air and do not feel any support under their feet. Their entire journey lasts a few minutes: they conquer 850 meters of path, and at the end they rush a couple of centimeters above the surface of the water, which is very refreshing in the Spanish summer heat.

Americans know how to surprise and put on a show. Their tall Stratosphere tower is home to three very extreme types of entertainment. At first sight "Big Shot" nothing impresses except its size - you've probably already seen a similar vertical catapult somewhere.

However, here, just read the numbers: at a speed of more than 70 km/h you will be lifted to a height of about 350 meters, overloads and blocked ears, like those of professional pilots, are guaranteed. Then you will have a free fall from the same height, during which shoes and hats will be torn off, so it is better to wear something that is not so pathetic.

Carousel "Madness" in fact, it is an ordinary carousel, with the exception that it is supported by a rod that hangs from the edge of the roof straight into the abyss, rotating at wild speed. Dangling at an altitude of 300 meters, you also need to take into account the fact that the seats tilt horizontally, and you find yourself hanging only from the seat belts, spinning at altitude at incredible speeds... better not to eat a big breakfast.

"X Scream" trailer located on a rail swinging like a swing, also located on the roof of the Stratosphere tower. Of course, the angle of inclination approaches 90 degrees and, of course, extends beyond the edges of the roof. However, the craziest idea of ​​the designers is that when braking, the trailer seems to fly off the rails and stops only at the very end, when the entire audience is screaming heart-rendingly and preparing to fly down.

2. The coolest “roller coaster”

They are also located in the USA, New Jersey and are called Kingda Ka. The roller coaster is distinguished by its large length, steel construction, and absolutely amazing speed characteristics, just imagine: you will accelerate to 200 km/h in less than 4 seconds.

Additionally, these slides can surprise you with the fastest free fall, more than 160 km/h, and for a snack you will be served the highest peak, which you will climb at a speed of 150 km/h - no less, the height of a 45-story building.

3. The fastest roller coaster

The achievements in the speed of roller coaster cars were surpassed in the UAE - they created the Formula Rossa complex in Ferarri Park, and everything in these crazy races is tailored to achieve maximum speeds. You won't have to ride that much, just a minute and a half, but the speeds the trolleys will reach are prohibitive - up to 240 km/h.

4. The highest water slide

Let’s take a moment to plunge into a more familiar form of extreme sports. Well, who hasn’t been to a water park and gone down the water slides? However, in Brazil, at the resort of Fortaleza, they approached this issue radically, and more than 25 years ago a slide was built there, the height of which no one has yet surpassed.

You will have to plunge into the pool from a height of 41 meters, which is approximately the height of a 15-story building. In the final stretch, you will reach a speed of more than 100 km/h, and here we can only advise you to better group yourself before entering the water.

5. The tallest catapult in the world

Here, Russia and St. Petersburg confidently hold the championship, with their amusement park on “Divo Island”. Metal cables are stretched on three huge columns, the tension moment... and the capsule with you flies up to a height of 75 meters. The cabin is made in the shape of a ball, and, of course, in the process you will dangle along its axis at high speed.

6. Fastest free fall

The Japanese also know how to surprise. Imagine that you are flying down in free fall from the height of a 20-story building, is it scary? However, what will happen to you if it is accelerated 4 times and you fly down at a speed of 172 km/h? The Japanese thought of doing this and built the Dodonpa attraction, where you can feel like a rocket cutting through the airspace and flying down at incredible speed.

Probably every person loves and wants to travel.

There are many most different ways make your trip unforgettable, and, of course, one of them is amusement parks. Big cities can offer you carousels for every taste - for children and adults, scary and funny, calm and breathtaking!

And, of course, if you dare to ride some dangerous attraction, surely this fear, this adrenaline that was raging in your blood, you will not soon forget. Therefore, I present to your attention the top 10 most dangerous and scary attractions in the whole world. And if you are an extreme sports enthusiast, I highly recommend trying each one.

It is located in America, in the state of Colorado. Its peculiarity is its location, namely that the “Canyon” is located literally on the edge of a cliff, four hundred meters high. Only four people at a time can go on a short journey for a dose of adrenaline. The swing can swing at a speed equal to eighty kilometers per hour, and the ride itself lasts only one minute.

It is interesting that before facing the abyss, every daredevil is required to sign a document that states the consequences that love for extreme sports can lead to.

9. "Formula Rossa"

These trolleys accelerate to 240 kilometers per hour in 4.5 seconds; not every sports car has such characteristics! The shape of the slide follows the famous race track from the Monza circuit.
