5 of the Wildest Theme Park Rides in the World

Almost everyone loves a theme park. Theme parks are where all the fun is with the rides, great food, drinks, and even games to play. However, the food and drink and even the games can be a little expensive. Although they seem a little pricey, the taste of the food of some of the best theme parks taste great. The rides are fun but you don’t want to eat before getting on one because you will most definitely get sick from the ride. There are also some wild rides in the country and the world.

When it comes to going to the theme parks these roller coasters are located at, you might want to find a way to save yourself some money. You can save a ton of money by using theme park coupons. Don’t forget to eat after you are done with the rides, not before

1, Skyroller

The Skyroller allows riders to ride on a swing type ride while controlling how many barrel rolls they go through. This is done by influencing the wings as they spin around. The Skyroller was created by German ride maker Gerstlauer. Although there is no limit on how many barrel rolls a rider can go through, this ride will have you nauseous.

2, Millennium Force

The Millennium Force can reach an awesome 310 feet into the sky. What you do is climb 310 feet into the air when riding this coaster and then drop down 300 feet at 93 miles per hour. What a wild ride! As a matter of fact, this ride is so tall that a brand new category of roller coasters had to be made just to put it in it.

If speed is what you want, the Top Thrill Dragster will shoot you through the air at 120 miles per hour. What is so great about it is that it is one of the fastest and tallest rides in the world. To make it more fun, pretend you are an astronaut shooting really fast into space!

4, Bizarro

The Bizarro used to be called, “Superman, Ride of Steel.” It is very much a crowd pleaser because it has great scenery surrounding it such as the river and greenery. Not only this, but it also provides some great special effects such as a fog tunnel, fire effects, as well as a 221 plummet down a hill. If you love special effects and a fast ride, this one will certainly please you.

5, Nemesis

The Nemesis is located in the United Kingdom and will sure please everyone who rides it. Although this ride is not the fastest roller coaster, it sure will make for a fun ride. This is because it will take you through underground tunnels as well as swing you below trees. It will actually make you think you are going to crash into the ground. When some roller coasters take you up through the sky, this one will bring you to the ground.
