Chasing sunsets at 93 mph!

Millennium Force opened in 2000 and changed the coaster world forever as the first giga coaster, towering at 310 feet tall and reaching speeds of 93 mph. Even after all these years, this iconic Intamin creation still delivers one of the smoothest and most unforgettable rides in the world.

Take flight on the Mad Mockingbird at Dollywood!

Located in Wildwood Grove, the Mad Mockingbird lets riders soar, dip, and swing through the air as the entire ride spins around a central tree. Even better, you can control how wild your flight gets by adjusting the fin on your ride vehicle! The ride is a Larson Flying Scooters attraction, and is themed after the mockingbird, Tennessee’s official state bird.

Would you keep your flight nice and easy…or get that bird swinging as high as possible?

Taking flight with The Great Goofini!

The Barnstormer may be one of Magic Kingdom’s smaller coasters, but it packs plenty of classic Disney fun into every twist, turn and swoop! Located in Storybook Circus, this family-friendly coaster sends riders soaring aboard Goofy’s homemade stunt plane as part of his hilariously chaotic aerial act.

Sometimes you don’t need the biggest coaster to have a Goofy good time!

Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic!

Blue Streak has been delivering old school wooden coaster thrills at Cedar Point since 1964, making it the oldest operating roller coaster in the park. The classic out and back coaster climbs 78 feet, hits speeds of up to 40 mph, and packs plenty of airtime into its historic layout. More than 60 years later, it’s still proving that you don’t need record breaking stats to be a Cedar Point favorite!

Who else makes sure to get at least one ride on Blue Streak every Cedar Point visit?

Check in… if you dare…

The Hollywood Tower Hotel has been frozen in time since that fateful night in 1939, and today it’s home to one of Walt Disney World’s most iconic thrill rides, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Standing nearly 200 feet tall, the attraction sends guests aboard a mysterious service elevator before launching into a randomized series of sudden drops and rises inside the haunted hotel. Even better, the ride uses Disney’s unique drop tower system to actually pull the ride vehicle downward faster than gravity alone!

Where there’s smoke, there’s FireChaser Express!

FireChaser Express reaches speeds of about 35 MPH, features 2,427 feet of track and launches riders forward & backward all while racing through Dollywood’s Wilderness Pass with fire, smoke and other special effects!

Do you hear that scream? Banshee is coming for you!

There’s nothing quite like watching Banshee dive off its lift hill and disappear into the terrain at Kings Island! This B&M inverted coaster climbs 167 feet before plunging through a 150-foot curved first drop, kicking off a relentless layout packed with 7 inversions. Debuting in 2014, Banshee still holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s longest inverted roller coaster.

Are you riding front row or back row?

180 FEET DOWN. 85 DEGREES. 72 MPH.

Goliath at Six Flags Great America may not be the longest coaster in the park, but it packs a LOT into every second! Built by Rocky Mountain Construction, Goliath opened in 2014 and features a 165-foot lift hill, a 180-foot drop, speeds up to 72 MPH, and two inversions, including that unforgettable zero-G stall.

Short, fast, and absolutely relentless.

Where does Goliath rank in your Great America lineup?

Steel Hawg may have a small footprint, but this coaster packs some SERIOUS bite!

Located at Indiana Beach in Monticello, Indiana, this unique S&S El Loco sends riders over a wild 111° beyond-vertical first drop before navigating two inversions, an outward-banked turn, and plenty of hangtime. Steel Hawg opened in 2008 and was the first S&S El Loco coaster ever built!

Have you rode Steel Hawg?

Are you relaxing and enjoying the view, or holding on for dear life?
