KINGDA KA

The Kingda Ka is a rollercoaster in New Jearsey, USA. It opened May 21st, 2005, and became the tallest AND fastest rollercoaster in the world! The train reaches speeds of 206 km/hour in 3.5 seconds, which is even faster than the Superman escape rollercoaster in Queensland. After the amazingly fast launch, the train reaches a height of 139.5 metres, then vertically drops!! It is a very safe ride, but in 2009 the ride was struck by lightning. Luckily it was overnight and the park wasn't open. It took the mechanics a few weeks to get the ride working again. Since then, there haven't been any other problems with the ride. For anyone who is a thrill seeker, this is the perfect ride for you, as it is fast, extreemly high, and extreme.
