Colossus, Kingda Ka and SheiKra
Wondering what I'm talking about? Well, then you are definitly not interested in rollercoasters.
Last week I tested the steepest wooden rollercoaster in the world: Colossus (located in the Heide Park Soltau in Germany). It has a drop of 61 degrees which is nearly like driving vertically downwards. Amazing. It's really a very smooth drive and you should test the coaster with different seating positions. Sitting in the first row is a unique experience (but be sure to secure every loose object!) while sitting more in the back provides a way longer air time. Definitly one of the best rollercoasters I tested!
Some days ago, the tallest and fastest rollercoaster on Earth opened: Kingda Ka in the Six Flags Great Adventure Park. And soon SheiKra will open in the Busch Gardens Park in Tampa.
These two coasters are next on my list. So, I'm just waiting for some invitations into these areas...
