Record-breaking Theme Park Attractions in the US

Faster. Taller. Scarier. We love roller coaster engineers and designers, for they are the geniuses who continually out-do themselves in finding ways to frighten and thrill us, all in the space of one short amusement park ride. From coast to coast, new record-holders and old favorites compete for our attention, and from flying roller coasters to plunging water rides, there may be no end to the scares these folks dream up-and we thank them for it.
