Follow U.S. Immigration and Life in the U.S.: The world's tallest roller coaster will stand in a theme park in Florida, United States, reaching a height of 158.5 meters.
This towering "Polercoaster" is approximately 158.5 meters tall and can reach speeds of up to 96.5 kilometers per hour. The roller coaster resembles a cylindrical tower with a diameter of only 50 meters.
The "Polercoaster" is expected to be completed in the spring of 2016. At that time, this roller coaster will surpass the "KingdaKa" at Six Flags in New Jersey, which is about 139 meters tall, becoming the tallest roller coaster in the world.
Unlike most roller coasters, passengers must board the "Polercoaster" at the top of the tower. Visitors will first take a small train to the top, where there will be a two-story restaurant and shops. In other words, this is an opportunity for those who are timid to consider whether to ride.
If they hesitate at the last moment, visitors can take a glass elevator to the observation deck to enjoy the view and confirm whether they are afraid of heights.
Those brave enough to challenge the ride will experience the thrill of rapid descents, twists, and inversions on the roller coaster.
The exact location of the "Polercoaster" has not yet been announced, and the buyer who invested in this roller coaster plans to rename it in the coming weeks.
The cost of this roller coaster is estimated to be between 20 million and 60 million USD, with construction expected to begin in the summer of 2014.
