Steepest Roller Coaster In The World
Published June 22, 2016
The steepest steel roller coaster in the world is Takabisha at Fuji-Q Highland amusement park in Japan.[1]
A ride with Takabisha takes 160 seconds, and during that time the rider will be turned upside down 7 times.[2] The record-breaking drop starts 43 m (141 ft) up in the air, and has a maximum angle of 121 degrees (90 degrees is straight down).[1]
One can philosophize about whether 121 degrees really is steeper than 90 degrees.
