The most dangerous rides in the world. Entertainment for adults. The most extreme rides in Russia Extreme carousels

I bring to your attention the Top 10 most scary rides peace. All of them are located in different countries, each of them is unique and rightfully deserves attention:

10th place

Giant Canyon Swing, Colorado. The attraction is located on the very edge of a cliff at an altitude of 400 meters. Four passengers can ride on it at the same time. The swing swings at a speed of 80 km per hour. Before going to meet the abyss, all sufferers must sign a document with approximately the following content: “such activity can lead to falls, injuries and death” - i.e. Denial of responsibility.

9th place

Formula Rossa (Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, UAE) is the fastest of all roller coasters. The trolley accelerates to 240 km/h in 4.9 seconds. The slide itself is designed in the shape of the famous Monza racing track. Due to the enormous speed, all racers are given special glasses.

8th place

Takabisha (Fuji-Q Highland Park, Fujiyoshida, Japan). The attraction is famous all over the world due to its largest angle of descent - 121 degrees, thanks to which a feeling of absolute weightlessness is achieved for several seconds. The most high point attraction - 43 meters.

7th place

Zip World at Penrhyn Quarry (UK, north Wales). Skydive from Britain has created an extreme ride in which a person rushes at a speed of 161 km/h over mountainous terrain. A person slides along a cable, the length of which is more than one and a half kilometers, at an altitude of hundreds of meters. During the “flight”, a stunning view of the mountain landscapes opens up.

6th place

InsanIo (Beach Park Fortaleza, Fortaleza, Brazil). Insano translates to "madness". The tallest water slide in the world - the height is 41 meters, the falling speed reaches 105 km/h. Listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

5th place

Dodonpa (Fujiyoshida, Japan). A roller coaster with four times the acceleration of its own fall. In less than two seconds, the trailer accelerates to 172 km/h. Everyone is guaranteed 55 seconds of indescribable horror.

4th place

Slingshot Sling Shot (Cyprus, Lunapark - Ayia Napa). The height of the slingshot is 35 meters. In just a couple of seconds, visitors rise to the height of a 15-story building, and then quickly fall down - and so on several times in a row. If desired, visitors can be captured on camera during the flight.

3rd place

Kingda Ka (New Jersey, USA). The world's tallest metal slide - 139 meters. The trolley accelerates to 205 km/h in 3.5 seconds, making the attraction the most dynamic in the world.

2nd place

Above the Roof of the World (Las Vegas). On the observation tower of the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel-casino, there are three of the scariest attractions in the world. At an altitude of 350 meters, the Big Shot tower, the Insanity carousel and the monstrous X Scream car terrify visitors.

Catapult "Big Shot". The attraction takes visitors to a height of 329 meters, at a speed of 70 km/h and four times acceleration; for a few seconds, daredevils admire the landscape with the best observation deck America and then fall down.

Carousel "Insanity". An ordinary carousel, if not for one “but” - visitors have to spin at a height of 300 meters, and a distance of 20 meters separates it from the edge of the roof. What adds adrenaline is that the cabins are completely open.

"X Scream" trailer. The rail is at a sharp angle, the trolley rapidly accelerates and flies into the abyss, going over the edge of the roof. At the moment of braking, the nose of the trailer is far beyond the end of the rail.

1 place

Free Fall Zone (Ohio, Paramount). The attraction platform rises to a height of 100 meters, which is equal to the height of a 26-story building. After viewing the surrounding beauties, lovers thrills rapidly falling down at a speed of 100 km per hour.

Americans know how to surprise and put on a show. Their tall tower, the Stratosphere, is home to three very extreme species entertainment. At first sight "Big Shot" nothing impresses except its size - you've probably already seen a similar vertical catapult somewhere.

However, here, just read the numbers: at a speed of more than 70 km/h you will be lifted to a height of about 350 meters, overloads and blocked ears, like those of professional pilots, are guaranteed. Then you will have a free fall from the same height, during which shoes and hats will be torn off, so it is better to wear something that is not so pathetic.

Carousel "Madness" in fact, it is an ordinary carousel, with the exception that it is supported by a rod that hangs from the edge of the roof straight into the abyss, rotating at wild speed. Dangling at an altitude of 300 meters, you also need to take into account the fact that the seats tilt horizontally, and you find yourself hanging only from the seat belts, spinning at altitude at incredible speeds... better not to eat a big breakfast.

"X Scream" trailer located on a rail swinging like a swing, also located on the roof of the Stratosphere tower. Of course, the angle of inclination approaches 90 degrees and, of course, extends beyond the edges of the roof. However, the craziest idea of the designers is that when braking, the trailer seems to fly off the rails and stops only at the very end, when the entire audience is screaming heart-rendingly and preparing to fly down.

2. The coolest “roller coaster”

They are also located in the USA, New Jersey and are called Kingda Ka. The roller coaster is distinguished by its large length, steel construction, and absolutely amazing speed characteristics, just imagine: you will accelerate to 200 km/h in less than 4 seconds.

Additionally, these slides can surprise you with the fastest free fall, more than 160 km/h, and for a snack you will be served the highest peak, which you will climb at a speed of 150 km/h - no less, the height of a 45-story building.

3. The fastest roller coaster

The achievements in the speed of roller coaster cars were surpassed in the UAE - they created the Formula Rossa complex in Ferarri Park, and everything in these crazy races is tailored to achieve maximum speeds. You won't have to ride that much, just a minute and a half, but the speeds the trolleys will reach are prohibitive - up to 240 km/h.

4. The highest water slide

Let’s take a moment to plunge into a more familiar form of extreme sports. Well, who hasn’t been to a water park and gone down the water slides? However, in Brazil, at the resort of Fortaleza, they approached this issue radically, and more than 25 years ago a slide was built there, the height of which no one has yet surpassed.

You will have to plunge into the pool from a height of 41 meters, which is approximately the height of a 15-story building. In the final stretch, you will reach a speed of more than 100 km/h, and here we can only advise you to better group yourself before entering the water.

5. The tallest catapult in the world

Here, Russia and St. Petersburg confidently hold the championship, with their amusement park on “Divo Island”. Metal cables are stretched on three huge columns, the tension moment... and the capsule with you flies up to a height of 75 meters. The cabin is made in the shape of a ball, and, of course, in the process you will dangle along its axis at high speed.

6. Fastest free fall

The Japanese also know how to surprise. Imagine that you are flying down in free fall from the height of a 20-story building, is it scary? However, what will happen to you if it is accelerated 4 times and you fly down at a speed of 172 km/h? The Japanese thought of doing this and built the Dodonpa attraction, where you can feel like a rocket cutting through airspace and flying down at incredible speed.

Many people believe that fans of extreme rides and dangerous adventures- people who lack thrills in life. However, according to recent research by scientists, absolutely everyone lacks adrenaline. This unique substance helps us become faster, taller, stronger, mobilize strength and endurance, mental abilities and reaction. Single bursts of adrenaline into the blood fill us with energy, saturate the circulatory system with oxygen and force the body’s defense system to “reboot”, and also help fight stress. This is best facilitated by extreme activities, for example, skydiving or nerve-wracking rides. For those who like to experience overwhelming emotions, we offer a list of the most dangerous attractions in the world that will definitely add adrenaline to the blood!

1. Stratosphere Tower, USA

Let's start with three attractions at the same time that can surprise extreme sports enthusiasts: they are united at its top by the 350-meter Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas. The X-Scream swing fully lives up to its name: you won’t be able to stop yourself from screaming when the ride’s carriage hangs in the air, rolling far beyond the rails on which it moves. The Big Shot catapult lifts you up with an overload of 4G, after which you freely fall as much as 30 meters down. Well, the Insanity carousel rotates above Las Vegas at an altitude of 300 meters and periodically turns the seats with passengers face down. The most dangerous thing is that the carousel cabins are open and passengers are held only by seat belts.

2. Kingda Ka, USA

The Kingda Ka roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey is the undisputed record holder among such iron coasters. Firstly, it is the tallest roller coaster in the world and also the tallest spinning coaster in the world at 139 meters. Secondly, or rather, thirdly, the fastest fall occurs on this attraction - at a speed of 160 km/h. Here is the highest drop - from a height of 127 meters. The trolley accelerates from zero to 206 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, then quickly takes off vertically to the height of a 45-story building, and then spirals down at a speed of 160 km/h.

3. Shambhala, Spain

IN resort town Salou, Spain, is home to an exciting amusement park - Port Aventura. It is here that the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Europe is located - Shambhala - 76 meters high and 1650 meters long. The duration of the ride is 3 minutes, so the speed that the attraction develops is 134 km/h. On the same slide you can feel the longest fall - 78 meters high, and during the ride you will have to hover over the chair for a few moments 5 times.

4. White Cyclone, Japan

In Mie Prefecture in Japan, there is an amusement park called Nagashima Spa Land, whose roller coaster - White Cyclone - is impressive in its very appearance. This is an openwork snow-white structure 42 meters high (about the size of a 14-story building) and with a route length of 1700 meters. The materials from which the slides are made would be enough for 1000 one-story houses. The duration of the trip is 2 minutes 38 seconds, the maximum speed is 100 km/h. There is no dead loops, steep slides and free falls, in essence it is a classic roller coaster with ups and downs. What adds a special extreme to the trip is the realization that the entire structure of the “White Cyclone” is made of... wood.

5. Formula Rossa, UAE

United United Arab Emirates famous for their ability to attract tourists. Abu Dhabi has the most interesting Entertainment Center Ferrari World, home to the world's fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa. The track is designed to resemble the Monza racing circuit, and the rollercoaster trolley can compete with the most popular brands of racing cars: it accelerates to 240 km/h in just 4.9 seconds! The duration of the trip is only 1 minute 33 seconds, but at this speed this is quite enough for the maximum adrenaline rush.

6. Insano, Brazil

In the resort of Fortaleza in Brazil there is a water park called The Beach Park. This is where the tallest water slide in the world is located. It was built back in 1989, but since then the record for the height of the slide has not been broken. Those who want to ride the Insano slide are forced to slide down directly at their “fifth point” from the height of a 14-story building - 41 meters. At 4-5 seconds of “flight” a person’s speed exceeds 100 km/h, you can feel like you’re flying from a waterfall.

7. Giant Drop, Australia

The Gold Coast resort in Australia is especially popular among tourists thanks to the Dreamworld Theme Park. Here is one of the most extreme attractions in the world - Giant Drop - a kind of bench that rises to a height of 119 meters, after which it descends at a speed of 135 km/h. Of the total time of the ultra-fast descent, you will spend 5 seconds in a state of free fall. Until this summer, the Giant Drop attraction was considered the highest in the world.

8. Free Fall, USA

Paramount, Ohio is home to the world's tallest free fall attraction. Its height is 100 meters, and its free fall speed is about 100 km/hour. You can calculate for yourself how many seconds it will take you to fly to the ground. The best way to do this is while slowly ascending the circular platform and looking at the idle tourists. And the beginning of the fall will certainly be sudden.

9. Catapult, Russia

The tallest catapult in the world is located in Divo Ostrov Park in St. Petersburg, Russia. Its height is 54 meters, and if you rise as high as possible, in clear weather you can even see Perm. You take off to the maximum shot height of 75 meters in just 4 seconds. The spherical capsule-shaped cabin is designed for two people; you are securely secured with seat belts. Two cables are attached to two columns respectively, they are tensioned while the cabin remains in place. When the magnet is turned off, the cabin flies up, and upon landing the cables are gradually released.

10. Ferris Wheel, Singapore

The final chord in our hit parade of the most dangerous attractions is the Singapore Ferris Wheel, which, by the way, is a completely harmless thing. However, for older people and small children, as well as for those who do not gravitate towards adrenaline rushes, a walk on the Wheel, which lasts 30 minutes, can become a real extreme test. It is worth noting that the Singapore Ferris Wheel also holds a record: it is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world (165 meters); in clear weather, a magnificent view opens from its top. panoramic view for 45 kilometers around. The wheel originally rotated counterclockwise, but feng shui experts changed the direction. Maybe spinning not according to Feng Shui was more extreme?..

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 - something like when you are racing, say, in a 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 most terrible 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 extends 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 flash 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?))))))))
