Ride the 5 biggest, fastest, longest roller coasters in the world

Launch in 5-4-3-2-1! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!



The wind blowing so hard against your face your eyes start watering, hair blowing backwards hitting the person behind you in the face, knuckles white from holding the harness tight. Nothing quite like riding a fast, steep rollorcoaster. I love that nervous feeling (sometimes times it's from fear, sometimes it's from pure excitement), that sits in the pit of your stomach as you hear the gears cranking as the chain pulls your carriage to the top of the first steep drop. You wait in line for 30 minutes for a ride that lasts 30 seconds and it's worth every second.

The two kinds of roller coasters are steel and wooden. Both of which are awesome. I've created a list of the top 5 biggest roller coasters in the world. Why stop at the 5 biggest go to 10 or 20.

LET'S DO IT!
