Top 10 Scariest Rides in the World (2022)

I've ridden thousands of rides around the globe, and while most don't scare me like they used to, every once in a while an attraction comes around that really freaks me out. These are the 10 scariest rides I've ever done!

First and foremost the few in these comments are rediculous. Laughing about a 14 year old boy falling to his death and to the girl that is blaming a child. Man you people have lost your minds. I seriously wish nothing this tragic ever happens to a child in your family and then you have to deal with ignorant people like yourselfs. Get a damn life and stop trolling the internet and being despicable human beings...

@@highflyer011 I believe that ride should be torn down. Looking at pictures of the young man who died, seated, ready to go, comparing his restraint to others on the ride.. This was obviously negligence, by both the ride manufacturer and the park. Restraint on the ride is horribly designed. It should have either shoulder restraints which cover the whole torso and lock between the rider's legs, or it should've had a backup seat belt at the waist area. The operators of the ride claim the light was on, which meant the mechanism was locked and presumably secure. Looking at the photos, anyone can tell that young man wasn't secure. RIP young man 💔🙏

[@theoriginalThud]

I've been to the Stratosphere in Vegas and I can confirm that those three rides are some of most terrifying rides I've ever ridden. X-Scream and Insanity are the two most extreme since they dangle you over the edge about 900 feet from your certain death if something were to go a bit wrong. What makes Insanity worse is that it stops spinning and dangles you at an angle facing slightly face down well over the edge while they load and unload the seats across from you. This torture, which only takes a few minutes, seemingly takes hours while your heart races, your arms turn numb and your sweat drips down from your forehead stinging your eyes because you're too scared to let go of your grip to wipe your brow. ...and then the ride starts to wobble as riders are unloaded and reloaded making it feel like the ride is going to come unhinged and send you down nearly 1000 feet below on your last drop ride of your life. ..Having said that, I ended up loving the rides and rode them all multiple times. A must add-on to your bucket list. ..and make sure to ride X-Scream in the very front!

Oh come on lol I’ve done all of them at The Strat too and they aren’t that bad… 😂

[@k.hendrickson8735]

Clearly, no one has bothered to read the article about the CAUSE of the freak accident in FL. The ride was safe. The “child” weighed almost 400 pounds! Never, ever should have gotten on it in the first place. It’s sad, and unfortunate. But there’s Plenty of blame to go around. And a big share goes squarely on parents that allow their children to get that fat.

As someone who’s been to the strat and is also an adrenaline junkie, here’s what I’ll say: The drop at the strat is fun, but way to short. Go on it once to say you went on it, but there are definitely better rides out there. Insanity is super fun, and surprisingly quite peaceful. I went on it with my bff 3 times, and we both loved it. You get a really nice breeze on that one. X-Scream is very fun, but I’d suggest getting a front seat. I went on it twice - the first time I was in the front, and it was a great experience. I was in the second row on the second time I did it and it was still cool, but definitely a different experience. But to add two that aren’t on this list, I would add the Hyperion in Energylandia (Poland) and the Slingshot in Coney Island (NY). They might not be in the top 10, but definelty in the top 20 - both are super thrilling and fun.

[@crackerjackrappr]

My local theme park has a slingshot. I've done it once and won't again. Lol. Super fun, but 1 time is enough for me.

[@missbutterflyuwu5595]

hyperion isnt scary at all i went there and it felt pleasant i relaxed myself a lot. there is actually a way scarier roller coaster in the same place as hyperion

[@luvforalvaeri]

Oh yes, energylandia is so underrated

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I’m surprised X-Scream was deemed scarier than Insanity. I always thought the sustained hanging over the building is scarier.

[@fang4590]

i assume its due to the illusion of falling off

I’ve been on the Orlando Starflyer, Freefall (RIP to Tyree) and The Skycoaster. There used to be one more ride on the Stratosphere (Strat) but it was taken down in 2005. It was a roller coaster that went around the circumference of the top of the building, just under the tower on top of it. I went on that one too. I think it was called High Roller.

Starflyers scare the crap out of me. I think it's the size of the chains holding the seats. They look like a child's necklace. Contrast that with the industrial appearing chains on regular spinning swings and it just short circuits my brain. I still do them out of some weird desire for thrills but I'm terrified the entire time. I want to make it to the Stratosphere at some point but I can imagine that'll be an anxiety inducing experience.

[@weastcoaast]

I just did all the rides at the Strat last month (November 2022). LOVED the big shot for the free-fall experience and how the height messes with your head. Rode it several times. I only rode Insanity once because it spins so fast that I didn't find it enjoyable. I couldn't focus on anything and it triggered some vertigo. The end is really the only part I found somewhat scary when you're left hanging out after it stops spinning to slowly swing you back it. I think it would be a lot scarier and more enjoyable if it rotated slowly. X-Scream was by far my favorite. I sat in the front (arms in the air) and rode it six times. (hardly anyone else was up there that night) It really does mess with your head. You KNOW you aren't going to fall, but the way it's done, you have a hard time overriding that instinct.

[@KremitDeFrog]

surprisingly enough, the high roller can also render that same feeling X-Scream gave you.. the certainty that you can trust it, but the inability to yield to that fact.. one spot on that track where you come up an incline with some decent speed and hit a hard, flat (non-banked) right turn just as you finish the incline.. so the cart wants to keep going straight with it's momentum but the track makes it do a hard right (emphasis on hard as there is a decent physical jolt with the transfer of momentum to the rails).. IDK, maybe it's just me, but I couldn't help think that it's good for 9,999 times.. it's that 10,000th one I don't want to bee on.. I mean OceanGate made it down to the Titanic half a dozen times before it was no longer safe enough..

I've been on all of them, and sure theyre freaky, i screamed everytime that coaster tilted down. i thought insanity was fun as hell, especially at night when you see all the vegas lights spinning. you've done way more crazier things! I'm going bungee jumping for the first time next month and i find that way more insane than the strat! i love the different types of height fears.

When I went to Las Vegas I went on all the rides at the stratosphere at 10:00ish at night. I felt like the thrill more terrifying on a night ride. But I absolutely loved it I rode X-Scream 4 times in the front row, and I had never been so terrified in my life.

[@atalleywak]

I've always considered bungee rides to be the most intense, such as the Slingshot, or bungee jumping by your ankles. For me, the reason is because the g-forces and speeds are so intense compared to coasters. That, and either the sky or the ground is rushing towards you. Even skydiving was peaceful and serene compared to standing on a platform and jumping off with a bungee cord on my ankles.

[@TCFan25]

Compared to skydiving, bungee jumping is much more dangerous and ultimately unsafe - esp considering it can be set up anywhere with rather minimalist equipment.

I was on The Big Shot at The Strat a long time ago and loved it despite my increasing fear of heights. I also went on the rooftop rollercoaster (which is, apparently, gone). I think they were just installing (or had just installed) that appalling Insanity ride as I do remember refusing to go on it. Regarding the rollercoaster, I do remember commenting that I hoped the designer/engineer on the thing got good grades. LOL Lastly, about The Big Shot, one of the things that makes it so scary is that Las Vegas is on a flat plain with hills in the far distance, so you are just sitting in a chair with your feet dangling at about 900 ft. and then you get shot up to about 1,060 ft in less than a few seconds, dropped and then sent back up before dropping to the end of the ride. Such a great ride and one of my favourites all-time.

[@vickanid1862]

In NZ, South Island near Queenstown is a canyon ride a bit like the Terror Dactyl. Except, they put you in a harness and drop you roughly 200 feet straight down before you swing 1/4 mile or so over the canyon. That initial drop is pure free fall...in just a harness! Scared my wife just watching me do it!

Being from southern california, and riding the rides out here, another factor that has always made these rides more intense for me is the fact that there could be an earthquake at any moment.

[@lincolnyoung8198]

I loved the Strat rides when I went, but for me, Insanity just made me sick because of the spinning when I usually don't get sick on spinning rides. I was more nauseous than scared. Xtreme really got me, but all three are insanely worth it.

[@nicolecurcio3284]

I've been to the Strat Hotel in Las Vegas and rode the Insanity ride, the two other rides mentioned in the video were closed for the day while I was there. Honestly, the Insanity ride lasts only two minutes long and for the first 20 seconds you feel like you're going to plummet to your death but after the initial shock is over it's kinda nice hanging in the air, you get a really good view of the city. I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Wish I could have ridden the other rides too.

[@Rishun]

Glad this channel posted this. I was kinda tired of just watching ones with pictures and a person narrating in the background. This is way better

[@bubzilla6137]

Regarding number 3: You said that it's actually more freaky on the side where you're facing the sky rather than the one facing down toward the canyon. I can confirm this is a legit thing. I used to climb radio towers for a living and a few years ago I just quit climbing cellphone towers. The highest tower I climbed was 1,000 feet. On every tower though, getting to the top, I would look up and the butterflies would hit. Looking down never did anything for me. I think it's because when looking down, I can see the ground. It may be far away, but it's clearly there and measurable. Looking up, I see how close I am to the clouds or the cloudless sky, often I was above the lowest layer of cloud. That somehow is way more freaky... 🗼🗼🗼

[@angusorvid8840]

These rides are seriously demented! I used to go on any crazy roller coaster, but rides that emphasized height and freefalling scared the hell out of me.

[@floridalife2419]

It’s been nearly a decade since I went to Vegas and rode the three rides. Insanity was so much fun but X Scream was hands down the winner though. I love how the first row hangs over the edge of the track. Orlando Freefall is addicting. I too love drop towers and shot towers. But Orlando Freefall is undoubtedly the best of the bunch. Starflyer is lots of fun but it does play with my head a little. I still kick my legs and have my arms up but deep in my mind I hear “it’s going to break”

Im glad I did the slingshot in Vegas(not doing that ever again) and I did the free fall. But I did not have the courage to do the insanity nor the x-scream. Just looking at it freaked me out and I backed out of it. Thank you for posting. My palms were sweaty just looking at the rides.

[@ll7868]

Fear of heights isn't a phobia I'm familiar with, have no problems being in high places and would love to try every one of these. I've done bungee jumping, ziplines and similar rides but nowhere near these heights, I was feeling a rush just watching them. One of the most fun things I've done isn't a theme park type of ride but parasailing should qualify, we went up about 200 meters, that's around the height of a 60-70 story building. Even if the boat's engine dies the sail is designed to lower you like a parachute so you're pretty safe.

Only 4 weeks after Vegas I went to Orlando for all the small attractions including the skycoaster in Kissimmee and the Starflyer(before the drop tower). I was on a role. I found the Skyjump the scariest of all, but the skycoaster was more fun. The others all failed in comparison.

[@dustinshanewheatley]

Good vid bruh! Enjoyed the commentary too!

[@Vosovogalsyncope]

The royal rush is one of my favorites, glad you gave it the honorable mention. Hot air balloon freaked me out!

[@MrMallum]

I’ve done all the rides in the strat but have you been to Alton Towers in the UK? I noticed your Wicker Man Tee so I guess you have but the Nemesis roller coaster is amazing! I kept feeling like my legs were going to get chopped off! High recommended if you’re ever in England…..

[@Nitrolord]

I'm at least happy that he chose a reputable brand for his sponsor. Some common youtuber sponsors, like RayCon, are really not all they're cracked up to be by literally every youtube channel, but Anker is legit; I've seen their products everywhere.

Rest In Peace to the boy who fell from the Orlando free fall and lost his life, rip 🕊

Rip😢

[@chrissharples6542]

Don't know about you guys, but The Big one at Blackpool, UK, to me is the scariest I have been on. I was sat on the right side of the car, nothing but a drop is all I could see. My anxiety was through the roof going up the chain hill. The ride itself was cool, it was just that initial climb.

[@believer5497]

Damn bro. You had me with the thrill rides, but killed it with the midstream infomercial.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I don't get scared by roller coasters anymore. Just recently, drop towers stopped giving me butterflies. But those Star Flyers with chains still freak me out. By far, the scariest one I've done is the one at Galveston Pleasure Pier, because of the location at the end of the pier. I had a death grip, and I barely kept myself from freaking out.

[@used_napkinss9473]

I'm suprised the Galvestion Pleasure pier is the 1st star flyer chain ride I've been on and I thought there was worse

[@imjuswatching3983]

How did u get them not to scare you?

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

@@imjuswatching3983 I've ridden so many roller coasters at this point, that the fear slowly but surely subsides. You get used to it after awhile, but I do wish I could still get scared by them.

[@BeWellBrandon]

I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with the idea of riding a star flyer. I just started to appreciate drop towers!

[@michaeldillaman8373]

I absolutely loved the Strat rides. The x-scream I was the only one on it the first time I rode it. The ride operator messed with me. He let the ride go longer then normal. He was laughing the whole time. The 2nd time was fun also just a shorter ride. Insanity was so relaxing too me. The bigshot was my favorite. The Orlando starflyer was so awesome. Rode it twice. We are heading to Pigon forge in a couple weeks. So we plan on riding the Mountain Monster. Can't wait

[@cameronlol7956]

i went to glenwood spings while on a trip to colorado with my family and my sister and i decided to ride the wave swinger there while being completely unaware that you would be hanging off the edge of the mountain, hands down one of the scariest things ive ever done

[@Godbrand]

as someone who is too scared to go on roller coasters, i can assure this guy knows what he's talking about and these are the scariest rides i'll never go on.

[@laurencaulton103]

These rides are safe, until they're not. When the metal can't take it, when someone is "too big" or "too small," when something happens on the ride that isn't supposed. I feel we're just playing the odds.

[@liquidportnoy]

Way way less than you do every time you drive a car

[@ahhwe-any7434]

I was just casually riding a ride one day. And this bird done said bish, if u don't get out my damn space. Trying to change my fam w/ the seasons. It's bad enough the clouds get in the way. Then it smacked me. True story. These rides r too high. It's a nope for me.

[@codylabelle1705]

Mostly too big

[@lorenlio]

I'm with you on the star flyers. I will ride them everytime but I am always scared. To me insanity is way scarier than xscream...but both made Mr hesitate getting on lol

[@kimradford4280]

I was at the Strat a couple mo ths ago and gotta admit I was freaked out just looking at those 3 rides and that jump! No way could I find the courage to try them...and I love thrill rides! Thanks for sharing your awesome pics. A couple of things I thought I'd mention...that attraction at Old Town in Kissimmee (the one over water)...there's a gator or 2 in there! I visited last year and saw them myself, as I watched people on that drop. The other mention I have is the suspension bridge in Gatlinburg. If you haven't tried it...you should. It's not a ride, but definitely an experience (day or night)!

[@jcross6644]

I was going to mention that you should put terror dactyl on here and sure enough you have it at number two. It's absolutely insane, watching people freak out on the way down is hilarious.

[@fav12564]

I remember living in Orlando and seeing the Ferris wheel at ICON park even though it was like 15-20 minutes away. I miss Orlando sometimes. But i still go to Orlando every Sunday because of my church

[@sdmarwan]

I am not a roller coaster person but came across this video so I decided to watch. I figured that this guy is an expert. My jaw dropped when I saw his choice for number 1. I've actually been on that! It is absolutely terrifying!

[@illumynarty]

Several months late but welcome to the coaster world!

[@k.hendrickson8735]

That’s the point isn’t it!? 😆

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

The scariest ride that I've been on was The Joker at Six Flags Great Adventure. It's a one-and-done for me since I don't ride rides to get scared but to have fun. Most roller coasters don't scare me, but S&S Free Spins do. I just don't enjoy feeling out of control.

[@captainalbert2143]

I closed my eyes for the entire ride at that one. Even then, the sensation at Joker is very freaky. Before I hopped on, I saw somebody’s phone fall out of their pocket and hit the ground!

[@dylanSkye]

Drop towers always get to me and even make me nauseous thinking about because the only 2 times I’ve rode one, it literally made me feel like I was gonna fly out of it as it was going down

[@lt1107]

In 2012 We were on the X Scream - your number 1 (the ride which hangs over the Strat in Las Vegas) when there was a power cut! Everyone had to vacate the area - but we were left to wait it out hanging off the building in the car! Eventually the power came back on and we were ‘saved’ 😮

[@guillaumecourchesne8684]

The scariest ride I've done was a janky mountain coaster in Austria. The thing was going so fast in such shaky rails, I was sure I would fly out every turns

[@guillaumecourchesne8684]

[@aaroncollins1187]

Taylor, did all 3 on top of the stratosphere and honestly thought it was a cake walk. Probably the reason being is cause only 3 months prior to that I had gone skydiving and right after Cedar point. And the week prior to me being on the strat I went to Magic Mountain. Yes it was still scary. But by the time I got to the strat I felt like I had already concurded everything.

[@lynz8280]

I just did the x scream and the big shot last week and I absolutely loved them both, then did the new York New York coaster later on in the day and loved that too haha

[@jacksonprewedo]

The North Star (which is a starflyer) at Valley Fair in Shakopee, Minnesota is one of the scariest rides I've ever rode on

[@michaelhalenkamp1302]

I went on the Starflyer just a couple hours ago, I found it somewhat relaxing. Looking at the city and pretty lights, at night when everything glows in vibrant and beautiful colors, it was stunningggg💗

[@CivilianSatellite]

Can confirm that Royal Rush is just as good, if not better than Kissimmee Sky Coaster. That view going over the gorge is not only spectacular, but is the closest I've ever felt to flying.

[@CoasterStudios]

it's definitely on my bucket list!

[@Porc1a]

The view of the gorge in my opinion makes the whole ride worth it, no matter how tall it is or the length of the drop. It takes your breath away if it’s still there.

[@aanklebiter]

I went on the manticore in Wisconsin at Mt. Olympus it was a swing that was just like the star flyer the same exact thing, but 10 feet shorter

[@inkeddog]

Great video! I used to love coasters and drops when I was under 30 yrs old. Now, watching some of these, my knees got a little weak. Kudos to ANYONE who can ride those on top of the Strat. I couldn't even go up to the very top. Too chicken.

[@Adam929]

I have been on insanity, two times in a row. I don’t know if I’m just numb to heights, but for some reason I just wasn’t scared. It was honestly slightly enjoyable. The lap bar felt secure enough. It was a very fun ride. The worst part is when you’re slowly being rotated out from the building. But x-scream, that just scares the crap out of me. I couldn’t go on that for a thousand dollars.

[@karma868]

I remember when I was seven I went to the stratosphere with my family. Only rode one ride at the top and it was the X-scream. I rode it the first time with my dad in the farthest seat. I really enjoyed the ride so I rode it two more times by myself. I remember I did go in the front seat one of those times. I would still do it again if I had the chance 😂

[@2tick_rick]

The big shot and the #1 ride I've both ridden. Did I mention I'm deathly afraid of heights? I was scared to death just being on the top of the stratosphere. I was shaking so bad that my knees were buckling. Hope to ride these 2 again at some point in my life.

[@L2Konthetrack]

i love seeing the coaster from my home town in the outro! 💯

[@thecoasterfollower3564]

Well..this video came out at a bad time

[@twistedcoasters1533]

I’m from the UK so we’re pretty limited on fear but MAN, steeplechase puts me on edge

[@carlyyyross]

i’m about to get on the giant canyon swing, been on it before. i love it! i’m standing right next to it rn

[@katm6620]

The Terror-Dactyl is actually really fun. The only part that sucks is when they first drop you - they slowly tilt you to an almost 90° angle so that you're leaning against only the straps. After the initial drop, which is fun, it's just a gorgeous swing through a canyon. I've done it at least 3 times and the adrenaline part is fun, but it's honestly one of the most relaxing rides I've done. I love it.

[@k.hendrickson8735]

😲. Relaxing??

[@katm6620]

@@k.hendrickson8735 it's really nice!

[@MrMywildside]

I have been on all of the ones at the Strat, and the Giant Canyon Swing. I think the Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is freaky because it drops you underground into total darkness. Sadly it had an incident too at the end of last summer and it still sits closed for the investigation. I wonder what’s with so many thrill rides having incidents lately? I wonder if they’re not idiot proofing them enough?

[@randomkopping2904]

I’m surprised falcons fury wasn’t on here but woah these are absolutely terrifying

[@zaymoney252]

This might b the bravest guy I ever met salute to u brother

[@misterhat6395]

I did number 4 and number 1, definitely had a moment of thinking the end was at hand. X-scream is nuts, no matter what you know in your mind, when you’re sitting on it you absolutely believe it’s going to slide right off the end.

[@isaaccamacho5309]

6:19 that was a seemless transition

[@ilikestarwars4438]

3:29 Yeaaah, this did not age well

[@paramtoor2590]

I went on the Orlando Starflyer. When it started rising, I was terrified. But once we got to the top, I just enjoyed the view

[@blind_t2]

IDK if it’s gonna seem terrifying to others, but to me, it was. however, before it got taken out and replaced, the hammerhead at Knotts berry farm was thee most scariest ride to me! 1, overhead/shoulder bars, then 2, that flip. once you get flipped over, that front flip make you feel like you were gonna have that bar snap off, and you drop to your death.

[@AutumnK]

I went to Glenwood Caverns last year and rode the Giant Canyon Swing (#3) several times because there was no line. (Sometimes the employees wouldn't even make me get off to ride again.) It was so fun! And he's right in the video: I thought sitting on the side that looks straight down the canyon would be scarier, but it was exponentially scarier to be on the side where you see the edge of the cliff coming and then suddenly the ground is gone! It was terrifying, but I would do it again. 😁 And I have been to the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas for the rides. The Big Shot (#7) was so fun! I did it repeatedly until they closed for the night. I wanted to ride Insanity (#4), but it was closed that day. 😟 And I waited in line for the X-Scream (#1), but after watching it for a while, I decided it was too scary for me and left the line. That is the only time in my 38 years that I have chickened out of a ride.

[@CoasterCreationTV]

This will probably become Coaster Studios' most viewed video.

[@rosco8453]

agreed

[@jaydenconway9711]

I just got back from darien lake and i went on the redhawk it was insane such an edrenaline rush but so worth it so much fun

[@OrionDuCros]

There's a drop tower in Gyeonju World Korea, and it accelerates faster at the top, and even though I've ridden it several times it's impossible not to think you're going to shoot off the top.

[@itsme2078]

Someone died on Thursday from the Orlando drop tower.

[@vfxman31]

I’ve ridden all 3 rides at the top of the stratosphere. Once. You are absolutely right. They are terrifying and rides don’t scare me. I actually thought I was going to die on X Scream. You’re hanging on the edge and then it lets you go a little more. Like maybe it’s breaking. I’ve never been so terrified. Like you said ..a psychopath designed it!
