With 17 roller coasters in one amusement park, Cedar Point has gained a following as a coaster mecca with thrill-ride devotee groups, such as the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE). With new rides going up every year (83 in 2009 alone), thrill seekers will never be without a new heart-pounding roller coaster to try out.Ĭoaster lovers worldwide make pilgrimages each year to the king of all coaster theme parks, Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. That’s faster than Kindga Ka by 6.8 miles per hour, though Kindga Ka will be able to console itself with the record for tallest roller coaster-for now. This year, Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, the world’s fastest roller coaster since it opened in 2005, will lose the speed title to the German Ring Racer, a Formula 1-themed thrill ride that will go an astounding 134.8 miles per hour.
