Summer is almost here, which means that millions of American will be flocking to amusement parks around the country.
And the one major requirement for any park worth its salt is a stomach-turning, death-defying roller coaster.
Part of the fun for thrill seekers is that each one is a little different. Will it have a steep drop? Could it hang you upside down? Or maybe it just causes your heart to race because it feels too rickety to handle that next loop?
From the sharpest drops to the fastest rides, these coasters are an adrenaline junkie's dream.
