Alabama: Rampage

Adrenaline junkies looking for a ride on the wild side in the deep south head to Alabama Adventure Amusement Park in Bessemer. Here, they line up for Rampage, a 120-foot tall wooden roller coaster boasting a 102-foot drop. If that isn’t enough to get your heart pounding, Rampage hits a max speed of 56 mph.

Alaska: Master Blaster

Here’s the deal: You won’t find a traditional roller coaster in the entire state of Alaska. They just don’t have ’em. But you can find some scream-inducing attractions at H20asis Indoor Water Park in Anchorage, like The Master Blaster. Touted as a “water-powered roller coaster,” you and a buddy will need to climb 50 stairs in order to board a tube that will launch you both off of the 43-ft-high Blast Off Station. Strategically placed jets will move you up and down and all around, so hang on tight! If roller coasters aren’t your thing, check out these one-of-a-kind adventures you should add to your bucket list.

Arizona: Desert Storm

Hold on to your hats because the Desert Storm at Castles-n-Coasters in Phoenix features double upside-down loops as well as vertical drops and spins. At 90-feet, it’s the tallest coaster in the state. Nervous riders can rest a little easier knowing that the Desert Storm only lasts 90 seconds from start to finish, according to Phoenix New Times.

Arkansas: X Coaster

When in Hot Springs, Magic Springs Theme and Water Park’s X-Coaster is a must for the roller coaster enthusiast. What makes it so scary? Oh, just the unnerving backward slow quarter-loop that has you hanging above the amusement park before you whip around a 360-degree corkscrew. And that’s only one of its frightening features. “The X Coaster was a great thrill…it pulled the scream right out of me,” Tommy B. of Rockwall, Texas, says on Yelp. Once you’re done with the thrills, find the most charming small town in each state.

California: X2
via tripadvisor.com

California: X2

Upping its thrill game, Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia introduced X2, an innovative “fifth dimension” roller coaster. What does that mean? It features 360-degree seats that actually extend on wings off of the track which allows your body to flip fully around while the coaster dives and twists around turns and indecisive half loops. The whole thing is utterly bonkers and leaves riders screaming from start to finish.

via tripadvisor.com

Connecticut: Boulder Dash

Roller coaster purists will love The Constitution State’s scariest offering, Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce in Bristol. Ranked as the fourth best wooden roller coaster of 2019 by Golden Ticket Awards, Boulder Dash reaches a top speed of 60 mph as it whips passengers around a hillside (and a bumpy one at that). “The long lines for getting on board are worth it,” James F. of Portland, Maine says on TripAdvisor. “The train climbs up the hillside to fates unknown on the other side of the crest. I won’t tell you, in case you think you know what happens next but haven’t actually been. It would spoil the surprise.” Lake Compounce is actually one of the 8 oldest amusement parks in the world.

Delaware: SuperFlip 360

The state of Delaware has a great many qualities, but unfortunately, they have zero roller coasters. However, if you’re in the state and desperate for some amusement park-style thrills, one must head to Funland in Rehoboth Beach. Here you’ll find the gosh darn scariest ride in the state—the SuperFlip 360. It swings riders around 360 degrees offering up that stomach-dropping feeling provided by many a coaster, simply in a different form. They may not have scary coasters but Delaware does have one incredible coffee shop you need to check out.

Florida: Tigris
via tripadvisor.com

Florida: Tigris

When polling Floridians about the scariest roller coaster in their state, the topic becomes hotly debated. Sea World’s Manta and Kraken get honorable mentions, but its Busch Gardens’ Tigris (the tallest launch coaster in Florida) in Tampa Bay that gets our vote. Forward, backward, loops, drops…it does it all and at a top speed of 60 mph. “Tigris is all that,” Roxanne D. of Tampa, Florida says on Yelp. “It was amazing. Loved it. Make sure you try it out.” And while you’re there, you mind as well check out the best Florida beaches that locals want to keep secret.

Georgia: Goliath
via tripadvisor.com

Georgia: Goliath

Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell is known for housing some pretty terrifying coasters, but when they introduced Goliath in 2006 they really outdid themselves. Dubbed a “hypercoaster,” this beast doesn’t disappoint one bit. “That first drop will have you rethinking your decision to get on it,” Michael R. says on the park’s website. “So fast and definitely made for thrill-seekers! I definitely ride this coaster when I first get there and end with that one just to have my heart racing!”

Hawaii: Shaka

The Aloha State boasts a tremendous amount of natural beauty, but little in the form of roller coasters. However, you can get your heart racing on the Shaka at Wet ‘n Wild on Oahu. It’s described as a “wet/dry attraction” and does hit 31 mph, boasting a 36-foot drop, and a zero-gravity feeling. You can cool off you can get your thrill on at the same time. These are 11 of the best all-inclusive resorts in Hawaii.

Idaho: Aftershock
via tripadvisor.com

Idaho: Aftershock

Roller coasters can fall into several different categories, and Aftershock at Silverwood Theme Park in Athol was voted “Top Hanging Coaster” by Travel Channel back in 2012. This 191-foot behemoth still rates with its towering drops and loops that will propel you forward and pull you backward with intensity. “For those really looking for the stomach twister go on the Aftershock,” Renee B. of Paso Robles, California says on Yelp. “You truly will feel light-headed and off-balance. It has you going forward, backward, upside down, and more. If you’re into history, check out the oldest tourist attraction in every state.

Illinois: Goliath
via tripadvisor.com

Illinois: Goliath

Six Flags theme parks aren’t shy about naming roller coasters Goliath (see Georgia above). The Goliath coaster at Six Flags Great America outside of Chicago is another force to be reckoned with. “The feeling when you’re on the front row and see the super-steep slope after the lift-hill, OMG,” Rishabh Mulani says on the park’s website. “Amazing design, beautiful roll banks, and multiple air-time moments!”

Indiana: The Voyage
via tripadvisor.com

Indiana: The Voyage

Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is such a sweet, kindly name for this theme park in the town of Santa Clause. But get past its turnstiles and roller coaster aficionados will meet their match with The Voyage, a wooden “out-and-back” coaster with intimidating features. Steep drops, underground tunnels, and exhilarating turns…oh my! Even the folks at Holiday World recommend working your way up to The Voyage with their every-so-slightly more tame coasters first. While in Indiana, entertain the locals with the strangest fact about their state.

Iowa: The Monster

If you want to challenge your love for terrifying roller coasters and find yourself in the Hawkeye State, head to Adventureland in Altoona for a spin on The Monster.

all stars adventure Dragon Coaster
via tripadvisor.com

Kansas: Dragon Coaster

You won’t find much in the way of amusement parks in Kansas, aside from a few family entertainment centers that really appeal to small children. With that being said, the “scariest” coaster in the state may just be the Dragon Coaster at All Star Adventures in Wichita. With little curves, dips, and turns, it’s perfect for the tiny thrill seeker (but they must be at least 36″ tall to ride with an adult and 48″ to ride on their own). If you’re looking for some random Kansas oddities, find out the most misspelled word in their state.

Mississippi: Backsplash

Mississippi is another one of those states that has slim pickings in terms of traditional roller coasters, but you’ll definitely get your heart pounding on Backsplash at Geyser Falls in Choctaw. Backsplash bills itself as a roller coaster and waterslide rolled into one, so prepare to get wet. Grab a friend and use a two-person tube to share the terrifying experience. They may not be ready for roller coasters, but here’s how to take your toddler to an amusement park.

Montana: The Shredder Extreme

Unfortunately, you aren’t going to find any classic roller coasters in Montana, but you can still get your thrills on at Big Sky Waterpark in Columbia Falls.

Nebraska: Rockin’ Rapids

At one point Omaha’s Fun-Plex did house a roller coaster, Big Ohhhh!, for about a decade before it was removed to make way for a water park. Now the closest thing to a coaster-like thrill ride you’ll find in the state is Rockin’ Rapids, which also calls Fun-Plex home. It’s an impressive five stories tall with 1,200 feet of slide, so there’s plenty of room for an adrenaline rush.

via tripadvisor.com

Nevada: Canyon Blaster

Las Vegas isn’t all blackjack and slot machines, you can also bet on plenty of screams riding one of their roller coasters, like the Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus Hotel & Casino. This indoor attraction boasts both a double-loop and double-corkscrew while careening through the Adventuredome. “We rode the Canyon Blaster and it is a legit ride,” Rimar T. of East Bay, California says on Yelp. “I was actually surprised how good it was for an indoor amusement park.” These are other must-see Vegas attractions that aren’t casinos.

New Jersey: El Toro
via tripadvisor.com

New Jersey: El Toro

Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey is hands down the home to The Garden State’s most terrifying roller coasters, but ask locals which is the scariest and you’ll get a variety of answers. While the Kingda Ka is publicized as one that is most fear-inducing, folks we interviewed claim El Toro is the one to beat. “I went on Kingda Ka which looks scary but isn’t bad,” says Meridith D. of Pitman, New Jersey. “Then I went on El Toro and nearly puked because I felt like I was going to fly out of the thing.” This is the world’s longest, tallest, and fastest dive coaster.

New Mexico: The Hurricane

In 2015 Western Playland, located in Sunland, New Mexico, added The Hurricane to its mix of attractions and the place hasn’t been the same since. It’s a steel windstorm-style coaster that may only hit a top speed of 35 mph, according to Ultimate Rollercoaster.com, but still has enough drops and g-force to make it New Mexico’s scariest attraction.

33 / 51
New York: Cyclone
via tripadvisor.com

New York: Cyclone

The iconic Cyclone at Luna Park at Coney Island, located in Brooklyn, may not be the tallest or fastest ride in the state, but you definitely feel like you’re going to be thrown from this beast at any second. As Billy S. from Brooklyn says, “What it lacks in height it makes up for in age,” meaning the very years on The Cyclone will make you feel all of the thrills.

North Carolina: Intimidator
via tripadvisor.com

North Carolina: Intimidator

A steel coaster standing at a height of 232-feet., it’s easy to see why the Intimidator at Carowinds in Charlotte is the state’s scariest coaster. “Fun from start to finish but not too rough on the body like some of the other rides like Hurler,” says Saibyn R in a Google review. “Not quite as big as the Fury ride but totally better in my opinion.”

North Dakota: Runaway Train
via tripadvisor.com

North Dakota: Runaway Train

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there’s just one roller coaster in the state of North Dakota and that is the Runaway Train, a family-friendly attraction (read: safe for little ones). Located at Super Slide Amusement Park in the state capital of Bismarck, it’s just 18-feet high at it’s tallest peak. But, hey, when you’re the only coaster game in town, that technically makes you the scariest. And speaking of kids: These are the 13 things you need to know before taking your toddler to a water park.

Ohio: GateKeeper
via tripadvisor.com

Ohio: GateKeeper

When a roller coaster has “wings,” it generally ups its scare factor considerably. That’s the case of the GateKeeper at Cedar Point in Sandusky. According to the park’s website, it turns riders upside down a total of six times and they will “experience weightlessness and rapid movements from side to side.” According to Lana P. of Darien, Illionis’s TripAdvisor review, “You just feel like you’re flying.” Keep in mind Cedar Point bills itself as the “Roller Coaster Capital of the World,” so if you don’t agree with us about GateKeeper, there are plenty of others to try.

Oregon: Adrenaline Peak

In 2018 Oaks Park in Portland, Oregon introduced Adrenaline Peak, a coaster featuring three inversions and a terrifying beyond-vertical first drop, solidifying its place as the state’s scariest ride.

Pennsylvania: Steel Curtain

When in Pennsylvania and hungry for some thrills, head to Kennywood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to ride Steel Curtain, the park’s newest coaster that opened in July 2019. A two-minute adrenaline rush, this beauty features a whopping nine inversions, one of which is touted as the tallest in the world at 197-ft.

Rhode Island: Dragon Coaster

You won’t find any roller coasters in Rhode Island, unfortunately, unless you count the tiny Dragon Coaster at Atlantic Beach Park in Westerly, Rhode Island. This is a kiddie coaster that won’t placate thrill-seekers but will be adored by little ones. Rides are just one token per person per ride, so it won’t cost much to say you can ride the only coaster in the state!

South Carolina
via carowinds.com

South Carolina: Fury 325

When in South Carolina, you’ll find the fastest coaster at Carowinds in the town of Fort Mill. Here’s the deal: Carowinds is actually located in both North and South Carolina, straddling the state line. Technically you could heckle us that Fury 325 should be the scariest coaster in both states, but here we’re applying it to the southern of the Carolinas. For what it’s worth, Fury is absolutely terrifying, and really enough roller coaster for two states combined. Its peak is 325 feet and the 190-foot barrel turn feels death-defying.

South Dakota: Rushmore Mountain Coaster

For a different sort of coaster that will make your pulse pound, Rushmore Mountain Coaster in Rush Mountain Adventure Park (Keystone, South Dakota) is the place to be. It’s a true mountain coaster featuring one and two-person carts that whips riders around trees and, of course, the mountainside. Fortunately, riders can control the speed, so if you want to slow it down a bit, the choice is yours. Do you know why roller coasters were originally invented in America? The answer will shock you.

Tennessee
via dollywood.com

Tennessee: Wild Eagle

If you haven’t already figured it out by now, winged coasters terrify us, which is why Wild Eagle at Dollywood (Pigeon Forge, Tennessee) makes the list as Tennessee’s scariest ride. This was actually the first winged coaster in the United States, making it a pioneer in the category. The highest peak hovers 21 stories above ground, so it’s not for the faint of heart. If you live for amusement parks, this is how to save big bucks on those pricy tickets.

Texas: Titan

“Ride Titan (Six Flags Over Texas) to test your mettle,” David B. of Fort Worth, Texas says in a TripAdvisor review. “Sit in the front of the train if you dare. Feel free to scream or laugh out loud.

Utah: Lagoon Park
via tripadvisor.com

Utah: Cannibal

Lagoon Park‘s Cannibal is easily the most bonkers roller coaster in Farmington in the Beehive State. Not only does it send riders up 208-feet, but it also plunges them into a 116° beyond vertical free-fall transporting them to an underground tunnel. If that wasn’t enough, there’s an inverted loop and water feature that is a must for the biggest of coaster aficionados. Traveling with folks who like things a little quieter? These are the most impressive libraries in every state.

Vermont: Beast Mountain Coaster

Vermont isn’t all fall foliage and maple syrup. They have serious thrills at the Killington Resort, namely the Beast Mountain Coaster. It’s a 4,800-foot-long alpine coaster that spins riders through wooded terrain including 360-degree corkscrews.

Virginia: The Intimidator 305

Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia is home to the state’s scariest roller coaster: The Intimidator 305. Does it really intimidate? Oh, yeah. The steel coaster opened in 2010 and offers a 300-foot tall initial drop. That’s something the most well-traveled roller coaster expert won’t soon forget. “Intimidator is very intense due to its 91mph with sudden sharp turns, but very fun for extreme coaster enthusiasts,” says Nathan G. of Lexington, Kentucky in his TripAdvisor review. You can’t visit Virginia without engaging in a little history, and these are the most historic firsts from every U.S. state.

Washington: Timberhawk: Ride of Prey

For thrill-seekers in Washington State, Wild Waves Theme and Water Park is the place to go. Located in the town of Federal Way, Timberhawk: Ride of Prey is their most extreme coaster (although The Wild Thing is a very close second). “The impressive coaster Timberhawk is very smooth for a wooden coaster and takes riders on a spectacular trip filled with drops, turns and a great view,” says Gareth M. of Phoenix on Yelp.

via tripadvisor.com

West Virginia: Big Dipper

West Virginia doesn’t boast many roller coasters, but the biggest (and scariest) has to be the Big Dipper at Camden Park in the city of Huntington. While another attraction, The Rattler, is probably more terrifying, Big Dipper offers up plenty of stomach-dropping excitement. Oh, and smaller ones can start off their coasting career on the Lil’ Dipper if they so choose.

Wisconsin: Hades 360
via tripadvisor.com

Wisconsin: Hades 360

The Wisconsin Dells are home to a slew of incredible theme parks, but you’ll find the state’s scariest roller coaster at Mt. Olympus Park in the form of Hades 360. “It was, by far, the scariest roller coaster ever,” Christine O. of St. Paul, Minnesota says on TripAdvisor. The original Hades opened at the park in 2005, but the new and improved 360 features—you guessed it—an out-of-this-world 360-degree loop. In the new normal of 2020, these are 9 things you won’t see at theme parks anymore.

Wyoming: Cowboy Coaster
via tripadvisor.com/

Wyoming: Cowboy Coaster

The great thing about the Snow King Mountain Cowboy Coaster, located in Jackson Hole, is there are both winter and summer versions. In the summer you can take in wildflower meadows as you careen along on the Cowboy Coaster through loops, curves, and, of course, drops. In the winter you take in views of area skiers and snowboarders, descending what they say is equal to a 45-story building. Next, read up on these 10 popular attractions that will now require a reservation.
