The highest and the one with the highest drop
If you are a lover of roller coasters and travel to the United States, drop (and never better said) through the amusement park Six Flags Great Adventure, in Jackson, New Jersey, where Kingda Ka is located, which in addition to being the highest roller coaster in the world, holds the record for having the highest fall in the world. In addition, when it opened in 2005, it also became the leader in speed, a title it lost five years later.
And is that the Kingda Ka roller coaster reaches a height of 139 meters and a speed 206 km / h. Of course, the most impressive thing is its fall, from 127 meters.
The tour
After checking the train, it gradually heads towards the launch area. Once there, it is coupled to the hydraulic launch system that will accelerate it from 0 to 206 km / h in 3.5 seconds. At the end of the trail launching, the train goes up a 90º slope, going through a spiral, to the top of the main tower, from where it descends down through another 270º spiral to the right.
