The most extreme attractions in Russia. The most dangerous rides in the world. Entertainment for adults The most extreme park

I present to your attention a selection of the most terrible and dangerous attractions from all over our planet! It's time to fasten your seat belts and be brave - we're going!

Do you love attractions as much as I love them?)))

Thanks to adrenaline, we become faster and stronger, cope better with life's problems and overcome weakness more effectively. Latest Research Scientists indicate that adrenaline can also be a wonderful help in the fight against stress.


Single bursts of adrenaline that come and go in rapid waves, much like when you're racing, say, dead 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 I suggest you familiarize yourself with the scariest attractions in the world!




"Above the Roof of the World"

At 350 meters high, the Stratosphere Las Vegas Casino Hotel Observation Tower is the second tallest observation tower in the Western Hemisphere, surpassed by the CN Tower in Toronto. But the attractions located at the top of the Stratosphere are the undisputed leaders in height in the world.

It doesn't matter which of the three you choose: tower, carousel Insanity or a monstrous trailer X Scream, - in any case, your sensations will be multiplied by three hundred meters of height. From 1996 to 2005, the latter two rides replaced the High Roller roller coaster, which automatically became the tallest roller coaster in the world. Unfortunately, design limitations did not allow the High Roller trolley to develop high speeds and overloads: the slide was located on a small patch of roof around the Big Shot mast and there was simply nowhere to accelerate. Therefore, after 2005, it was replaced by X Scream and Insanity.

Catapult "Big Shot"

Year of opening: 1996. The highest attraction on the planet, capable of lifting you to a height of 329 meters at a speed of over 70 km/h and a monstrous acceleration of 4g. Next you will have a free fall from this very height. This Stratosphere's oldest attraction is the best observation deck in the United States—if you have the guts to enjoy the scenery at that speed.


Carousel "Insanity" ("Madness").

Year of opening: 2005. The tallest carousel on the planet. The latest Stratosphere attraction is a regular carousel. Unless you have to spin over a 300-meter abyss 20 meters from the edge of the roof. Insanity rotates quite quickly, developing a g-force of 3g. Of course, passengers are face down during rotation. And, if you consider that people on the carousel are not seated in closed booths, but on open seats, then the sensation of spinning at wild speed over the abyss should be simply indescribable!

Car "X Scream"

Year of opening: 2005. The highest swing on the planet. The short rail tilts decisively, the trolley quickly accelerates and rushes into the abyss, over the edge of the roof of a 350-meter tower. When braking, the nose of the car goes far beyond the rail, which makes X Scream one of the scariest rides on the planet. But it seems that this is the attraction where the least number of people want to ride. I wonder why this would be?)))


Or rather, we are falling))

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.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that some articles about this attraction mentioned an analogue from cultural capital Russia - "Free Fall" on Divo Island!

History is silent about where it is... where is it - the highest. Some even call one of the three Stratosphere attractions a catapult, but this is still a little different...

Flying Dutchman catapult, 35m high.

Let's skip the preludes and move on to the flight!!! When the cables are fully tensioned, the operator turns off the mechanical locking by pressing a button, and then the power to the magnet, and the “cocoon” with visitors quickly flies up to a height of up to 40m!!! 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))))

Dynamic lighting system based on multi-colored Italian lamps - 36 channels, 2000 lamps, 6 colors, 26 kilowatts - SUPER light show 35m high!

Again, it’s very, very nice that in many videos with a selection of the most extreme rides in the world, it takes place:

"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 turn))))



In some cases, you can also pray)))


Now, with a clear conscience, I can say: "Let's go!"

Let's move on to them, to the source of wild adrenaline, speed, and low-frequency screams - Roller coaster!!!

By the way, it’s not for nothing that we call roller coasters American (in the States, on the contrary, they are called Russian): most of the record-breaking rides are located in the USA.

Kingda Ka (New Jersey, USA)

Year of opening: 2005 Height: 139 meters. The tallest metal slide in the world. The hydraulic mechanism accelerates the trolley to 205 km/h in 3.5 seconds, making Kinga Ka one of the most dynamic rides in the world. In May 2009, the hill was struck by lightning, necessitating complex repairs. The attraction is currently in full operational readiness.

Well, let's take his word for it. I can’t say that my heart trembled, although... maybe the angle was bad)))



Colossus, England

Thorpe Park in Chertsey. Home to the world's tightest steel roller coaster. The length of the track is 850 meters, the height is 30 meters, the maximum speed is 65 km/h. On the highway you will have time to turn upside down exactly 10 times.

White Cyclone, Japan

The height of the attraction is 42 meters (about the size of a 14-story building), length is 1.7 km, maximum speed is more than 100 km/h

I admit, this attraction impressed me not so much with its technical characteristics, how much by his performance))


Son of beast (Cincinnati, USA)

Year of opening: 2000. Height: 66 m. The highest wooden slide in the world. Until 2006, it was the only wooden slide with a loop.



Steel Dragon 2000 (Nagashima, Japan)

Almost 100 meters high (a 30-story building) and 2479 meters long, the world's longest roller coaster, the eloquently named "Steel Dragon" is shaped like a dragon's crest and was built in 2000 - the year of the dragon.


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. This is truly one of the craziest amusement parks in the world.

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 adventure doesn't end there - The trolley quickly rises again and only then drops the guests off 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. On certain climbs, due to specially selected parameters, the illusion is created that at the end of the journey the trolley will certainly fall off the rails...


Takabisha (Fuji-Q Highland Park, Fujiyoshida, Japan)

In the land of the rising sun, a unique attraction Takabisha was recently built with the largest descent angle in the world, for which it was included in the Guinness Book of Records. The kilometer-long track of the roller coaster 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.

Ignore quality next photo and imagine how the person who will fly down feels at this moment)))

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 are flashed in every detail, but the balancing act continues along the way. On the track, which takes the form of the legendary Monza racing circuit, 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 protective glasses. After the end of the trip, employees prepare seats for new adrenaline hunters)


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

how good they feel...))))

“He who doesn’t take risks doesn’t drink champagne”...

“He who is not afraid to take risks wins”...

In this case, it doesn’t work))) Even if 20 people are trying to persuade you, and you don’t like all this, then film them during the “death ride” and eat cotton candy)))

Which ride would you go on (assuming you pay)?)

And what if they paid you?))))))))

Power Tower

Power Tower It is a rectangular structure 90 meters high. On each of the columns of the structure there is a platform that can move up and down. Two platforms work to rise - they are thrown up at a speed of 96 km/h, and then, by inertia, fall down and rise again. The other two, on the contrary, slowly rise to the top, and then, at a speed of 96 km/h, sharply fall down.

Raptor attraction

Raptor attraction was built in 1994 by the world famous company Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M), in Switzerland. In 2005, Raptor took 11th place in the list of the most popular attractions in the world (“Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World”). The peculiarity of the Raptor attraction is that the cars in which passengers ride are suspended from the bottom of the rail, and not fixed at the top (as is happens in most attractions). As a result, passengers' feet hang above the ground, giving them the feeling of free flight. During the movement there are 6 turns upside down, and one in a spiral.



Top Thrill Dragster appeared in the park in 2003, and immediately became one of the most popular. Today it is even one of the symbols of Cedar Point. Its features: high altitude, the steepest angles of ascent and descent in the world, enormous speed. 4 seconds after the start, the trolley, thanks to a special magnetic system, reaches a speed of 190 km/h. It rapidly rises to a height of 125 meters vertically, while making several turns.
Having reached the top, it pauses for a few seconds and again descends vertically, making several more turns of 270 degrees.

Wicked Twister attraction

Wicked Twister attraction appeared in Cedar Point in 2003. This is the highest and fastest ride of its type. It consists of two towers, each 65 meters high, connected to each other. As the train ascends the towers, it makes several turns, pauses, and then rushes down, again making several turns. The trip takes about 40 seconds with a top speed of 115 km/h. During this time, the train makes 5 ascents and descents. In its first year after opening, the attraction was visited by more than 5 million people.

Demon Drop attraction

Demon Drop attraction, built in 1983, allows you to feel the state of free fall from the height of a 10-story building. Passengers enter a carriage very similar to an elevator, then they are raised to a height of 80 meters. After a few seconds, the trailer falls down under its own weight.
The Demon Drop attraction does not lose its popularity today.

Mean Streak

Mean Streak- These are classic slides built of wood. The attraction was opened in 1991. Wooden slides are not the same as modern ones made of metal. The tree gives the attraction completely different characteristics. After taking a ride on this attraction, you will find out what the first roller coasters were like and what sensations their passengers experienced more than a century ago.

Millennium Force attraction

Millennium Force attraction arrived at Cedar Point in 2000, continuing the park's tradition of setting world records for rides. This time the attraction broke 10 world records at once: it became the fastest, highest, longest, and also the most extreme in terms of overload.
In 2006, Millenium Force was ranked second on the list best attractions"Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World". The attraction cost $20 million to build, but it was worth it. In the first season after its opening, about 2 million people visited it. Today, the number of its visitors is somewhat less, but it will occupy a leading position for a long time.

Cost of admission to Cedar Point Park, like most amusement parks in the United States, to enter the Cedar Point attractions you simply need to purchase admission ticket. And you can go on any rides. True, there are significant queues for each attraction.
Adult ticket: $42
Teen ticket: $15
Children under 2 years old: free
For military: $32
2-day pass: $71
