Castles N’ Coasters may be small but they have two coasters, a log flume, fun theming, and friendly staff.

A post shared by ThemeParkHopper.com (@themeparkhop) on

Castles-n-Coasters is located in Phoenix, and Desert Storm takes you on double upside-down loops, vertical, drops, spins – the words.

Its 90-feet tall but only lasts 90 seconds from start to finish – anyone can manage that!

At Six Flags Magic Mountain, you can find an innovative “fifth dimension” roller coaster.

It features 360-degree seats that extend on wings off the track, leaving your body free to flip around while the coaster makes its way around the tracks.

No. Thank. You.

10. Cliffhanger Rollercoaster

Hoping the week will go this quick for the three day weekend. ⛰🎢

A post shared by Glenwood Caverns (@glenwoodcaverns) on

This coaster, located at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, is the “highest elevation full-sized roller coaster in North America,” and sits at at altitude of 7160 feet.

The views are great, if you don’t mind opening your eyes while you’re screaming.

9. Boulder Dash

This rollercoaster, located at Lake Compounce in Bristol, was awarded the title of Best Wooden Roller Coaster in the World in 2013.

It reaches a top speed of 60mph, and apparently is just full of surprises.

Delaware is also home to no actual rollercoasters, but Funland in Rehoboth Beach does have this thing that swings you around 360 degrees.

It should make you want to puke, if nothing else.

7. Tigris

Tigris lleva a los visitantes, a 96 kilómetros por hora, por un camino de acero de 548 metros lleno de giros, vueltas de 360 grados y una caída de 45 metros de altura, simulando la impresionante agilidad de un tigre 🐅 en un ambiente rodeado de naturaleza. . . ⚠️✅Para acceder a la atracción, se requiere una altura de un metro con 37 centímetros para poder ajustar los dispositivos de seguridad en el torso y las piernas. . . . #TigrisBuschGardens #Tampa #Florida #Usa #EstadosUnidos #BuschGardens #RollerCoasters #TigrisRollerCoaster #rollercoasterfans

Busch Garden’s Tigris beats out coasters at Sea World due to it’s tall launch, number of loops and drops, and the fact that it tops out at 60mph.

I’m not sure what those hands in the front row are doing but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t intentional😂 – – What’s the funniest thing you’ve accidentally done on a rollercoaster? – (📸:me) #goliath #goliathsixflags #goliathrollercoaster #sixflagsmagicmountain #sixflags #sixflagsparks #sixflagsthemeparks #giovanola #giovanolahypercoaster #canon #canoneosm50 #teamcanonusa #teamcanon #canoneosm50 #rollercoaster #rollercoasters #saturation #vibrance #clarity #exposure #whitebalance #blackbalance #contrast #hdr #amusementpark #themepark #amusementparks #themeparks #airtimehill #doublehelix #forceful

Six Flags over Georgia in Austell introduced Goliath in 2006, and the first drop may have you wishing you’d taken the chicken exit.

5. Aftershock

Silverwood Theme Park in Athol is home to the world’s “Top Hanging Coaster,” the Aftershock.

It’s 191-feet tall, sends you forward, backward, and upside down, and will make you think twice about having lunch before you get on.

4. Goliath (Six Flags Over America)

Rain and gray skies didn't keep people from riding the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain. 🎢 📷: @bvanderbrug #rollercoaster #sixflags #sixflagsmagicmountain #goliathrollercoaster

Yes, there’s another Goliath. There are actually six, but this one is as Six Flags Great America, near Chicago.

This huge wooden roller coaster that will lift you out of your seat on more than one occasion.

Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is a theme park in the town of Santa Clause.

It’s biggest, baddest offering is The Voyage, a wooden coaster with steep drops, underground tunnels, and turns that will have you holding on for dear life.

2. The Monster

We went on the Monster for the first time yesterday. It’s quite the ride 😳 scroll over to see our picture. 101 degree drop & 65mph

A post shared by Christina Mason (@clmason89) on

Adventureland, in Altoona, offers you The Monster, which loops, corkscrews, and something called an Immelmann that should give you pause.

T3 @kentuckykingdom for #trainlesstuesday ! . . I only got to ride this twice and really didn’t get killed (#figurativelynotliterally)on it like most people talk about. Granted I had sprained my ankle the week before and was so focused on crossing my legs and pinning my tender ankle in place I might had told you Grizzly at Kings Dominion “wasn’t that bad” if I had just rode it… . . . #kentuckykingdom #kkwinterwalkthru #kentuckykingdom2020 #winterwalkthru2020 #kkt3 #kentuckykingdomt3 #t3rollercoaster #tcubed #tthree #vekoma #slc #vekomaslc #suspendedloopingcoaster #invertedcoaster #clouds #cloudscape #rollercoastersky #rollercoasterskyscape #amusementparkskyscape #amusementpark #thrillride #rollercoaster #rollercoasterphotography #amusementparkphotography #goldenhour #red #white #blue

Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville features a ride that will scare the crap out of you with terrifying loops and inversions that never seem to stop.

Have you ridden any of these?
