Mega roller coasters of today reach heights of over 400 feet and speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. While some thrill rides be content to simply tower over the landscape, the world's scariest roller coasters know how to tap into our deepest fears and emotions in the most creative of ways. Whether it's hurtling backwards through the darkness, navigating dizzying inversions, or braving unexpected surprises, the most terrifying coasters are a perfect storm of heart-pounding elements. One element alone may not make a ride terrifying but the sum of all of its parts does.

What make a roller coaster terrifying? It could be height, speed, inversions, backwards segments, unique track elements, darkness, unexpected surprises, and more all contribute to making your head spin and your knees tremble.

In The 50 Most Terrifying Roller Coasters Ever Built you'll explore a roller coaster...
...with an underwear dispenser
...that mimics a squirrel running on the underside of a tree limb
...tried to leap a gap in the tracks
...required an on duty nurse in the station
...airtime so extreme you'll swear it's trying to kill you
