Which is the Tallest and Fastest Roller Coaster in the World ?

The title for the highest and fastest roller coaster in the world belongs to Kingda Ka of Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park in Jackson, New Jersey, USA. The champion Kingda Ka has been enjoying the glory of being the biggest fastest roller coaster in the world for almost four years, from 2005 to 2009, by accelerating at a speed of 128 mph, in 3.5 seconds and reaching a height of 456 feet. Wow what co-ordinates! If this record had to be broken we definitely need an Usain bolt in the roller coaster stratum.

Kingda Ka uses hydraulic motors to launch its coaster train. Passengers are propelled from zero to 128 mph in less than four seconds, before climbing the main tower at a vertical angle. There's a twist at 90 degrees and reaches a height of 456 feet, which is near about 45 stories. What height! Over the apex comes the mind blowing vertical descent, unfolding a 270 spiral as the coaster train falls to a speed of 100 mph. This entire titillating ride takes only 28 seconds of your life.
