Exhilarating POV ride on the world's steepest rollercoaster (5k video) [1]

['David Pescovitz']

Date: 2023-06-22

The world's steepest rollercoaster is located inside the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

"Standing 141 feet (43m) tall, this Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter is the same model as Takabisha at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan. However, this one has a 121.5° drop, making it the world's steepest coaster," explains CoasterForce. "In addition to the vertical chain lift hill and LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) launch, it features 7 inversions – a Heartline Roll, 2 Corkscrews, a Banana Roll, a Dive Loop, an Inside Top Hat and an Immelmann."

Please keep your hands, arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times:
