Steel Vengeance

Cedar Point

It's not everyday you can say you've ridden a hyper-hybrid coaster. In fact, there's only one in the world, and it's Steel Vengeance.

Located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, Steel Vengeance is the tallest, fastest, and longest hybrid coaster in the world. You'll feel your adrenaline spike as you experience 30 seconds of airtime, the most of any roller coaster in the world. There's no doubt that this is one of the best roller coasters in America!

Montu

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Tampa, Florida

An extra-smooth steel coaster, Montu is perhaps the most thrilling ride at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. As you hang above the ground, you'll experience a 60-foot loop, a weightless roll, and seven inversions. Montu is a roller coaster for the memory books, that's for sure!

Lightning Rod

Dollywood

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Set against the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, this wooden rattler is one of the best roller coasters in the South. Lightning Rod is a Dollywood classic that holds the title of fastest wooden coaster in the world. Best of all, you'll get one-of-a-kind mountain views as you rocket around the tracks and over the hills.

Iron Rattler

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

San Antonio, Texas

Everything's bigger in Texas, including Iron Rattler. Found at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Iron Rattler is unique in that it is a repurposed wooden coaster structure with steel rails. The unusual combination allows for turns and inversions not found in traditional wooden or steel coasters.

As honorable mentions, it's worth noting that Six Flags Fiesta Texas is also home to BATMAN™: The Ride and Goliath, two more of the country's best roller coasters.
