NEW fastest and largest roller coaster

I rember a few monthes back when everyone was talking about the roller coasters they have been on, and how a bunch of people said they have been on the fastest one in the world. Well you havent anymore unless you have been on The 'Kingda Ka' of six flags new jersey. Not only the fastest, but also the tallest. Towering 456 feet (139 meters), and 128mph (206kmph), It goes straight down, but first goes straight up, and takes a turn at a 90 angle from the ground. Wanna take a virtual ride? Click here

Edit: 0-128mph(206kmph) in 3.5 seconds

(New picture)
Here is a picture:

That looks absoulety brilliant. I would love to go on that. I thought that view was from a helicopter looking down on the rides, then I realised it was the actual height. Looks fab, though I would hate for that rollercoaster to de-rail haha.

Lol. Never happens unless there is some sort of huge attact sort of thing, because I saw a science video about how strong they are.

Oh, and if you havent taken the virtual tour, it spins going up and down.

Well if you can get to New Jersey, and wait in line like 8 hours (It opened last week), then good luck.

Biggest I was on was the hulk, as in long and scaryness and stuff, but the tallest I have been on was the superman, which a few years ago, was the tallest in the world for about a month :p

Lol. The virtual ride is cool, although it is digital. I would have to see it in real life to decide if I would want to go on it. Probly would. I dont know if Im the only one, but I usually regret it if I chicken out on a ride :p

And to think I fear the Superman at the Six Flags Baltimore/Washington, now I really have something to fear while thinking of that ride. I think I'll just watch the rest of you go on it.

Yup, cause that Rita Queen Of Speed ride is 100mph in 2.5 seconds. {Fast take off though} I've been on it once but i'm going to Alton Towers with school on Tuesdayy soooo i'm sure to go on it again. :) I love the adrenalin rush! :o Anyway, as for the ride in that picture, i won't go into how much scary that looks. :eusa_doh:
