5. Six Flags New Jersey
It's called Kingda Ka. It's brand new and has the biggest drop in the world at 418 ft.

17. Damn, how many Gs does it deliver?
Is it survivable? The picture doesn't even look real. I thought it was a graphic representation.

24. it is a graphic representation
it was the was the only one I could find with the cart getting ready to plunge. as for the Gs, I'm not really sure. But 128 MPH in 3.5 seconds is equal to a lot of Gs!

7. Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson NJ is
the home to this incrdible roller coaster. Kingda Ka is 450+ ft. tall and uses aircraft carrier technology to catapult the riders from 0 to 128 mph in 3 SECONDS!!!!!! This ride is 30 ft. taller than the similar Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, Snadusky OH. Both coasters positively rock! (If that's your thing)

16. Okay, so I just had to Google that coaster
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 09:55 PM by CTD
Found this- http://themeparks.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=themeparks&zu=mms%3A%2F%2Fstreams.sixflags.com%2Fkingda-ka-hs

This is actual video from the front seat, not the simulation at Six Flags' site.

Now I REALLY want to ride it.

21. WOW
Looks like the train will come off the track, I'm sure it's attached somehow, but too scary for me and I love rollercoasters.
