Terrible rides. The scariest rides in the world

Americans know how to surprise and put on a show. Their towering "Stratosphere" tower is home to three very extreme forms of entertainment. At first sight "Big Shot" nothing is striking except for the size - you have probably already seen a similar vertical catapult somewhere.

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

Carousel "Madness" in fact, it is an ordinary carousel, with the amendment that it rests on a bar that hangs from the edge of the roof straight into the abyss, spinning at wild speed. When hanging out at 300 meters, you also need to consider the fact that the seats tilt horizontally and you find yourself hanging only on the seat belts, circling at an altitude at an unthinkable speed ... it’s better not to have a tight breakfast.

Trailer "X Scream" is 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, goes beyond the edges of the roof. However, the most insane idea of ​​the designers is that when braking, the trailer, as it were, flies off the rails and stops only at the very end, when the whole audience screams heart-rendingly and prepares to fly down.

2. The coolest rollercoasters

They are also located in the USA, the state of New Jersey and are called Kingda Ka. The slides are distinguished by their great length, steel construction, as well as absolutely amazing speed characteristics, just imagine: you will accelerate to 200 km / h in less than 4 seconds.

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

3. The fastest rollercoaster

They were able to beat the achievements in the speed of roller coaster cars in the UAE - they created a complex Formula Rossa, in Ferrari Park, and everything in these crazy races is geared towards achieving maximum speeds. You will not have to ride so much, only one and a half minutes, however, the speeds of the trolleys will be beyond the limit - up to 240 km / h.

4. The highest water slide

For a moment, let's plunge into a more familiar form of extreme sports. Well, who hasn't been to a water park, and hasn't been riding water slides? However, in Brazil, in the resort of Fortaleza, they radically approached this issue, and more than 25 years ago a slide was built there, the height of which has not yet been broken.

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 section you will develop a speed of more than 100 km / h, and here you can only advise better grouping before entering the water.

5. The tallest catapult in the world

Here the championship is confidently held by Russia and St. Petersburg, with its own amusement park on the "Divo Island". Metal cables are stretched on three huge columns, the moment of tension ... and the capsule with you takes off to a height of up to 75 meters. The booth is made in the form of a ball, and, of course, in the process you will hang around its axis at high speed.

6. The fastest free fall

The Japanese also know how to surprise. Imagine that you are flying down in free fall from a height of a 20-story building, is it scary? However, what will happen to you if it is accelerated by 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 dissecting airspace and flying down at incredible speed.

The scariest rides in the world are designed for those who like to tickle their nerves, who are not bothered by stress in everyday life. Here you can experience tremendous speeds, accelerations, falling from high altitude, make a "dead loop". Scary rides are in many ways similar to extreme views sports, they can also be used to solve psychological problems, only with less risk. Therefore, amusement parks strongly attract not only children, but also adults who need a good portion of adrenaline, which for a while will give strength, vigor, and help them better cope with life's troubles.

1. "Above the roof of the world"

IN American Las Vegas built tall (350 m) observation tower"Stratosphere", which is the second tallest object of a similar purpose in the Western Hemisphere. This building simultaneously offers three impressive attractions to the daredevils. The first is the Big Shot tower, whose name becomes clear when the visitor is seated on the platform, strapped in and shot at a speed of 70 km/h to a height of 329 meters. This is the oldest attraction of the Stratosphere, which began operating in 1996.
The next sentimental entertainment was the Madness carousel. In appearance, it looks like the most harmless carousel, only it rotates at a height of 300 meters, hanging over the abyss and being taken out of the roof by 20 meters. The carousel spins at a decent speed, and the passengers at this time are located face down.
The last extreme point is the X Scream trailer, which, after acceleration, seems to be heading straight into the abyss. His nose freezes over the abyss, so that it seems to the passengers that they are about to fall down. There are not so many who want to ride in such a Pullman.

The Georgian people are distinguished by cordiality and hospitality, so many travelers look forward to the most cordial welcome on Georgian soil in advance. IN...

2. Grand Canyon

As you know, the Grand Canyon is located in Colorado. On the edge of a cliff more than 400 meters high, a swing with long rods is fixed. 4 madmen are seated on this swing and begin to rotate over the abyss at a speed of 80 km / h. It is worth recalling that before boarding the attraction, the daredevil signs a paper where it is mentioned that riding involves the risk of falling, injury and death - this is sobering for many.

3. "Catapult"

In St. Petersburg in the amusement park "Divo-Ostrov" there is a very impressive attraction "Catapult". Between two powerful columns, two cables are fixed, capable of giving a strong tension, a capsule is attached to them. The capsule fired by the catapult rushes into the sky with great speed, reaching a height of 54 meters. After that, she freely falls back, gradually slowed down by her leash, and then makes several more such ups and downs. At the same time, the capsule also rotates around its own axis, which only increases the dizziness of the daredevils who have sat inside. There is an analogue of the same attraction, called the "Flying Dutchman", but it can only rise up to 35-40 meters, but it has a beautiful backlight. Participants of the attraction separate fee can order video filming, then to laugh at their frightened faces.

4. Freefall zone in Paramount

Anyone who doesn't think they're afraid of heights can test it out on a ride in Ohio. It is a 100-meter pole with a platform on top. First, the daredevil is lifted to the top of the pillar, from where he can enjoy the view of the surroundings, but suddenly the platform collapses down, and then those on it feel a free fall, the speed of which reaches 100 km / h.

5. "Formula Ross"

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi has a Ferrari Park, and it has the most dashing Formula Ross roller coaster in the world. In 5 seconds, the train accelerates to 240 km / h, and passengers experience almost cosmic overloads. Due to the high speed, all passengers are provided with goggles to protect their eyes from grains of sand and flies. The whole trip lasts one and a half minutes. As the cabin moves, it soars to a height of 50 meters, then falls almost freely down. Incredible impressions from the attraction can be gained only by looking at its video and the emotions of passengers.

6. "Smiler"

This attraction is not quite an ordinary roller coaster. Throughout the route, extreme people make 14 “dead loops” here. The highest of the loops reaches a height of 30 meters. It is interesting that psychologists helped the engineers to develop this attraction, the task of which was to increase the fear factor. Therefore, in addition to a significant height and speed of movement (85 km / h), the riders are frightened by realistic-looking optical illusions: syringes flying towards, blinding light and other unexpected surprises. Although the whole trip lasts 165 seconds, but all people come out of there, overwhelmed with emotions and impressions that remain for life.

7. Roller coaster "Kingda Ka"

The uniqueness of this attraction lies in its height, reaching 139 meters. In 3.5 seconds, the hydraulic mechanism accelerates riders to 206 km / h. But high altitude and failed this attraction, which was struck by lightning in 2009 and seriously damaged it. After that, a major overhaul was required, as a result of which the attraction was able to be completely restored so that it could work safely and correctly. Even in photographs, this building looks impressive.

Great service and tasty food- what customers expect from all restaurants, but the most fancy restaurants Petersburg are also different ...

8. Roller coaster "Takabisha"

This attraction was built in Japan, and stands out among other roller coasters with the largest angle of inclination, reaching 121 degrees. At first, the skaters get into the tunnel, where they move very slowly and in complete silence. At some point, the mechanism abruptly accelerates the cabin. Approximately in the middle of the distance at a height of 43 meters, an almost vertical fall suddenly begins with a simultaneous strong acceleration up to 100 kilometers per hour. Then the cabin makes a few more turns, turns sharply and stops. The total length of the attraction is about a kilometer, although it feels like this distance flies by with lightning speed. At the time of the fall, people sitting in the cabins feel a state of weightlessness, but at the same time, a wave of fear rolls over from falling from a great height.

9. Waterslide "Insanlo"

Near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, a unique water park was built, famous for the fact that it was built the highest on the planet water slide, which still holds the palm. Its height of about 40 meters (about 14-storey building) even got into the Guinness Book of Records. True, you will have to try to climb to such a height, but from there you can enjoy an excellent view of the sea, sandy beach and palm trees.
Satisfied with what you see and gathering your courage, you can go down the hill, which is more like a free fall, lasting only 4-6 seconds. But during this time, the falling human body accelerates to a high speed - 100-110 km / h. The name of the attraction - to match himself, translated from Portuguese means "madness". For brief moments, a person experiences very vivid emotions here, but it is quite possible to immortalize them on video if you additionally order a filming of your descent. The shots are very funny.

For several decades, Turkish resorts have been favorably accepted by the tourist public from all over the world. Our compatriots are especially attracted...

10. "Zip World"

This creepy ride is located in Bethesda, North Wales, UK. This is the longest "lightning" in the northern hemisphere, which stretches for 1700 meters. Her cable was placed between the peaks of neighboring mountains, above the surface of a crystal clean lake and a very picturesque gorge. Those who want to test themselves are first brought to the top of the mountain, where they are offered to put on special windproof and waterproof suits, they will be given goggles to protect their eyes from the wind and then attached to a cable. A person sliding along a cable is turned face down and simultaneously experiences mixed feelings from the beauty of the opened panorama and fear from an incredible height.
During the descent, a person accelerates to 160-170 km / h. This attraction appeared in 2013, since then it has quickly gained immense popularity among daredevils around the world. Initially, those wishing to test themselves on the "big lightning" are offered to practice on the "small lightning". Such a flight will not leave anyone indifferent, because on short time a person can feel like a real bird.

I present to your attention a selection of the most terrible and dangerous rides from all over the world! It's time to fasten your seat belts and stock up on courage - we're off!

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

Thanks to adrenaline, we become faster and stronger, better cope with life's problems and overcome weakness more effectively. Recent research by scientists suggests that adrenaline can also be a great help in the fight against stress.

Single surges of adrenaline, fast waves of which come and go - something like when you are racing, say, in a dead loop, at a speed of 150 km / h - are simply saving, because they fill us with energies and mobilize us for immediate reactions. The sudden surge of oxygen in the blood energizes the entire circulatory system, the defense system, and also sends a command to the brain to release the painkillers endorphin and dopamine for us, which make us feel better.

So, if you don’t faint at the sight of the Tea Couple, then I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the scariest rides in the world!

"Above the Roof of the World"

At 350 meters, the Las Vegas Stratosphere Hotel & Casino 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 terms of 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 in height. From 1996 to 2005, the last two rides replaced roller coasters high roller, which automatically became the most high slide in the world. Unfortunately, design limitations did not allow the High Roller to develop high speed 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" ("Big Shot").

Opened in 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 find a free fall from this very height. This Stratosphere's oldest attraction is the best viewing platform in the United States - if you only have the guts to enjoy the scenery at that speed.

Carousel "Insanity" ("Madness").

Year of opening: 2005. The most high carousel on the planet. The most recent attraction of the "Stratosphere" is an ordinary 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, during the rotation, the passengers are face down. And, given that people on the carousel are not placed in closed booths, but on open seats, then the sensations of spinning at wild speed over the abyss should be simply indescribable!

Trailer "X Scream"

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

Or rather, we fall))

Free fall zone in Paramount, Ohio.

The platform of this "carousel" lifts 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 "surrounding the area", the daredevils fly down at a speed of over 100 km/h.

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

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

Catapult Flying Dutchman, 35m high.

Let's drop the preludes and move on to the flight!!! When the cables are fully taut, the operator, by pressing a button, turns off the mechanical blocking, and then the power supply of the magnet, and the "cocoon" with visitors rapidly flies up to a height of 40m!!! Just imagine, in a matter of seconds, to be at the height of a 15-story building! 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 with the help of an "on-board" wireless color video camera. In addition, we can show all this hellish action to acquaintances and friends through a DVD player. But it’s better to watch it alone or together first, 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 takes place:

"Catapult", in the amusement park "Divo Ostrov", St. Petersburg.

The attraction is 54 meters high (that is, we conclude that it is higher than the previous one), which is three huge columns to which metal cables are attached. When the cables are pulled, one of the capsules rapidly rises up, and then falls down - and so on until it stops. It is noteworthy that during the flight, the capsules also turn over 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 highlighted that he slipped 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, we don’t call roller coasters for nothing (in the States, on the contrary, they are called Russians): most of the record-breaking rides are located in the USA.

Kingda Ka (New Jersey, USA)

Opening year: 2005 Height: 139 meters. The highest 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, lightning struck the hill, necessitating extensive repairs. Currently, the attraction is in full combat readiness.

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

Dodonpa (Fujiyoshida, Japan)

Those who have ridden this rollercoaster claim that it feels like a shot from a cannon took place, where the passenger was the core. Which, in principle, is not surprising with a fourfold excess of the acceleration of free fall. The train accelerates to 172 kilometers per hour in less than 2 seconds. All the way in 55 seconds can seem like an eternity. It really is one of the craziest amusement parks in the world.

Silver Star (Europa Park, Germany)

Tower of terror II (Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia)

Visitors to the Tower of Terror shoot themselves up to a height of 115 meters like an arrow. After a rather sharp slowdown at the top, some of the passengers lose any thoughts. Having fallen down in 6.9 seconds at a wild speed and having experienced a state of weightlessness, the other part of the thrill hunters are speechless. But the adventure doesn't end there. - the trolley again rapidly rises and only then drops off the guests 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 have created many sharp turns on the 1.6-kilometer track. On certain ascents, due to specially selected parameters, the illusion is created that at the end of the path the trolley will certainly fall off the rails ...

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

In the country rising sun recently built a unique attraction Takabisha with the largest angle of descent in the world, for which it was included in the Guinness Book of Records. The kilometer-long track of the rollercoaster will tickle the nerves of the daredevils riding on seven loops, and the thrill-seekers can test their psyche on the descent with a record falling 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 breakneck speed, passengers find themselves in a state of complete weightlessness for a few moments.

Thunder Dolphin(Tokio Dome City, Japan)

The Thunder Dolphin attraction is known for its unique structure. The track wraps around a purpose-built hollow structure. The start begins with a dizzying 65-meter fall from an 80-degree slope. The train passes through two holes in the building during the journey, which makes the heart beat faster. The race on the track takes place at a maximum speed of about 130 kilometers per hour.

Abstract from quality next photo and imagine what a person who will fly down feels at this moment)))

Formula Rossa ( Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, UAE)

Formula Rossa is the fastest roller coaster in the world. The attraction cart accelerates to 240 kilometers per hour in about 4.9 seconds. It is not a fact that before the eyes of the voluntary victims of the attraction their lives manage to flash in all details, but then the tightrope walking continues on the way. On the track in the form of the legendary circuit of the Monza race track, trolley pilots will experience many ups and downs. Due to the high speed and possible risk collision with particles in the air, riders are required to wear special protective goggles. After the trip is over, employees prepare seats for new adrenaline hunters)

How good are they...

"He who does not take risks does not drink champagne" ...

"He who is not afraid to take risks wins" ...

In this case, it does not work))) Even if 20 people persuade you, and you don’t like it all, then shoot them on camera during the “death race” and eat cotton candy)))

Which of the attractions would you ride (assuming you pay)?)

And on what, if you were paid?)))))))))
