Tower of Terror Dreamworld Gold Coast, Australia. Australia's Gold Coast is a little off the map for most people, but if you are in the neighborhood, head for this: the fastest, tallest thrill ride in the Southern Hemisphere (and at 100 mph, the fourth fastest in the world). After climbing at a rate of 4 G's to a heart-stopping height of 38 stories, or 377 feet aboveground, the steel shutter roller coaster has a 6.5 second, 100 mph, zero-gravity drop, and then stretches straight out for the equivalent length of three football fields.

Eejanaika Fuji-Q Highland Fujiyoshida, Japan. The name translates roughly to "hey, what the hell," which is what you will hear others shouting in Japanese when you're on this ride. Only the second "4-D" coaster in the world (X2 is the other), this has the same 360-degree turns and insane style of head-over-heels spinning on the winglike cars as X2. But there are plenty of differences; for one, this track is a little longer and the ride is far taller—at 250 feet, it's the seventh-highest roller coaster in the world. And from the top, riders have a spectacular, if brief, view of nearby Mount Fuji. Would you ride Eejanaika?

Kingda Ka Six Flags Great Adventure Jackson, New Jersey. The current big daddy of coasters, this ride towers, quite literally, above all others. At the ride's highest peak, the brave folks who step aboard soar a record 456 feet (the equivalent of 45 stories) aboveground. Catapulting up with the help of a hydraulic launch at a record-setting speed (128 mph), Kingda Ka reaches its top height in just 3.5 seconds. On the way down, there's a 270-foot spiral; this is not a world record, but there's plenty of spinning action for this hair-raising trip, during which riders will experience both negative and positive G force. Would you ride Kingda Ka?

Expedition GeForce Holiday Park Haßloch, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Always tops in any list of the best coasters in the world, including Internet Coaster Poll, which polls fans from around the globe, GeForce is not only one of the largest coasters in Europe, it's always one of the most complete and satisfying because it's long enough and not gimmicky. But it's also harrowing, reaching 4.5 G, a height of 203 feet, and speeds exceeding 74 mph. And there are seven coveted moments of weightlessness when your stomach just floats…and floats again. Would you ride Expedition Ge Force?
